Five Sky Blues named in Young Socceroos Squad

Five Sydney FC players have been named in the Young Socceroos squad for the upcoming U19 ASEAN Boys’ Championship.

Zac De Jesus, Pearson Kasawaya, Tiago Quintal, Max Vartuli and Tyler Williams are the Sydney FC contingent included in the 23 player squad bound for Indonesia.

The Young Socceroos have been drawn in Group B and will take on Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam from the 18th to the 24th of July.

Young Socceroos’ Head Coach, Trevor Morgan said the Championships provided an important opportunity to expose players to challenging tournament conditions in Asia.

“This tournament is a perfect chance to develop these players through competitive matches and allow them to show what they can bring come September,” Morgan said.

“We’ve made several considerations when selecting this squad, including allowing players who travelled to South America in June a chance to rest before they join A-League pre-season at their respective clubs, and most importantly, the opportunity for this group players to gain experience and perform for their country, something they have earned.

“We’ve had the chance to completely change the squad between assemblies and the fact we can do this shows the depth of talent available, and the belief we have in giving players the chance to step up. It’s important we continue to develop this group as they move through our pathway, and being involved in tournament football is the perfect environment to achieve that.”
