"SBS already has a long standing commitment to international football and we are passionate about this opportunity to work with FFA and Fox Sports to help grow the game in Australia," SBS head of sport Ken Shipp said. 

The match sees the national team's World Cup qualifiers return to free-to-air television some seven years after John Aloisi's historic penalty against Uruguay sent Australia to the 2006 FIFA World Cup finals live on SBS.

SBS's coverage of the Jordan v Australia match will be hosted by Les Murray, with former Socceroos Craig Foster, David Zdrilic and Zeljko Kalac providing expert analysis.

In announcing the broadcast arrangement for the Jordan v Australia match, FFA CEO Ben Buckley said: "I thank our long-term partner Fox Sports for accommodating this arrangement.

"Australian football would not have achieved so much growth and development since 2005 without the significant investment of Fox Sports.

"I welcome SBS TV's support in broadcasting Wednesday's match. SBS has a rich history in covering domestic and international Australian football.

"FFA is currently in on-going discussions with Fox Sports and SBS over the long-term broadcast rights in Australian football.

"The discussions have reached an advanced stage and the parties have displayed good faith, which has allowed this one-off arrangement for Wednesday's match."

The Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Stephen Conroy, welcomed the announcement.

"For the good of the game I congratulate everyone involved in showing the Socceroos game tomorrow morning," Senator Conroy said.

"It's great to see that all Australian football fans will have the chance to cheer on their Socceroos as they work to qualify for the World Cup."
