In this clip, players from the Australian and Palestinian soccer teams shake hands before one of their five international test matches begins at the Sydney Cricket Ground, Moore Park, in front of approximately 3,600 spectators. This fast-paced game features numerous shots at goal, with Australia scoring the only goal shown and going on to win the match.

During their 1939 tour, the Palestine team played 12 matches in Australia, including five against the national side, recording seven wins, four losses, and one draw. The footage captures both the athleticism of the players and the competitive spirit of international soccer tours in pre-war Australia.
