Sleepless Sydney football fans will be able to watch the Socceroos play their vital World Cup match against Denmark in the wee hours at their local pub or club.

Licensed NSW venues will be allowed to stay open if they are broadcasting the do-or-die match from Qatar, which kicks off at 2am AEDT on Thursday.

The NSW government has extended trading hours from midnight on Wednesday to 5am on Thursday for the do-or-die game.

Australia's 1-0 triumph against Tunisia in Doha on the weekend has placed the nation on the cusp of qualifying for the knockout phases of the cup for only the second time.

If the team beats or draws with Denmark coach Graham Arnold will join his Dutch-born mentor Guus Hiddink in 2006 in steering the Socceroos out of their group.

"Every four years when the Socceroos make the World Cup the whole nation is behind them," Arnold told Sydney radio station 2GB on Monday.

"Rugby league fans, and AFL fans, cricket fans they all become football fans for that tournament," he said.

NSW Hospitality Minister Kevin Anderson said the FIFA World Cup was one of the biggest global sporting events, with more than half the world tuning in for the last one in 2018.

"With these extended trading hours, fans will be able to gather at their local hotel or club to cheer the Socceroos to victory."

Trading hours will also be extended for future Socceroos' matches if Australia progresses beyond the group stage.

Extended trading will also apply for the final, with venues able to open from 10pm on December 18 to 5am on December 19.
