Garang Kuol

Garang Kuol is an Australian professional footballer who plays as a winger for AC Sparta Prague in the Czech First League. He rose to prominence as the youngest player ever selected for a World Cup by Australia, but no reliable net worth figure for him is publicly available — estimates from various sites vary too widely to be trustworthy.

Early Life & Family

Kuol was born on September 15, 2004, in a refugee camp in Cairo, Egypt, to South Sudanese parents, Mawien and Antonietta, who had fled conflict in South Sudan. The family resettled in Shepparton, Victoria, Australia, in 2005. Garang has six brothers, including fellow professional footballers Alou Kuol and Teng Kuol; his family introduced him to the game, and he started out at Shepparton Soccer Club before spending five years at Goulburn Valley Suns.

Rise to Fame

Kuol was selected for Australia’s 2022 FIFA World Cup squad at just 18 years old, becoming the youngest player ever picked for a World Cup by Australia. He appeared as a substitute in the group-stage loss to France and again in the Round of 16 loss to Argentina, where he came close to scoring a dramatic late equalizer.

Career History

Kuol signed with the Central Coast Mariners’ academy in January 2021, scoring on his professional debut in the FFA Cup and later in his A-League debut in April 2022. In September 2022, Newcastle United agreed a fee of around £300,000 to sign him, with the move completed in January 2023. Since then, he has gone out on loan to Heart of Midlothian in Scotland (2023), FC Volendam in the Dutch Eredivisie (2023-24), before completing a permanent transfer to AC Sparta Prague in the Czech First League in August 2025. Internationally, Kuol made his senior Australia debut in September 2022 and scored his first international goal against Ecuador in March 2023.

How They Built Their Wealth

Kuol’s earnings have come from transfer fees, including Newcastle United’s purchase from Central Coast Mariners and his permanent move to Sparta Prague, plus standard professional wages at each club. No major endorsement deals are publicly documented.

Personal Life

Beyond his family’s journey from a South Sudanese refugee camp to Australia and his brothers’ own football careers, there is little else publicly documented about Kuol’s personal life.

While a precise net worth figure for Garang Kuol isn’t publicly available, his journey from a refugee camp in Cairo to the 2022 World Cup and now a permanent move to Sparta Prague reflects a career still very much on the rise.
