Australia's Socceroos got a 1-0 win over Denmark in the Fifa World Cup and secured a place in the Round of 16.

The Socceroos haven't made it this far in a Fifa World Cup since 2006, and the fans are elated to the point where they've taken to social media to ask for a public holiday in honour of the victory.

The fans have taken their requests to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese as well, and he hasn't commented either way as to whether or not this public holiday will happen.

Australian correspondent Murray Olds says that this victory is a big deal for a younger generation of fans and it's a historic moment for them.
