Officially nicknamed the Socceroos, the Australian soccer team first qualified to compete in the FIFA World Cup in what year?

Years after being named "the most sports-obsessed country in the world" in the 1962 edition of Sports Illustrated, the Australian soccer team finally qualified for the 1974 FIFA World Cup. The triumphant team first attempted to qualify in 1965, and 9 years later their hard work paid off.
