Harry Kewell has been given the captain's armband for the Socceroos' international friendly against Singapore on Saturday night.
The contest is a warm up match ahead of Wednesday's crucial World Cup qualifier against China in the south western city of Kunming.
Australia's European-based players will join the squad on Monday after playing for their respective clubs this weekend.
Kewell, currently struggling to win a place in the Liverpool squad, says he is looking forward to captaining a Socceroos team made up of mostly A-League players.
"It's a great honour, but for me as captain or previous captains before I think we all state the same thing, there's eleven captains out there," he said.
"We go out there and work as a team and that's how I'm going to treat it."
