Football Australia has confirmed the 20-player squad for the CommBank Young Socceroos’ upcoming SBS Cup in Japan in December.
The CommBank Young Socceroos will kick off their tournament against Spain on December 18, before taking on Japanese domestic side Shizuoka Prefecture on December 20 and wrapping up the trip against Japan on December 21.
Richard Garcia will lead the squad in the role of Head Coach, with usual Head Coach Trevor Morgan unable to attend the tournament due to his commitments as Football Australia’s Interim Technical Director.
The squad, selected by Morgan and Garcia, comprises of only players playing in Australia and Japan, with 13 debutants making the trip with the squad.
Garcia said he was looking forward to getting the squad together again after a successful year which saw victory in the AFC U20 Asian Cup 2025 and some promising performances in the FIFA U20 World Cup 2025.
"The CommBank Young Socceroos have had a hugely successful year, having won the AFC U20 Asian Cup, and we are looking to compete and finish the year strong with the next crop of Young Socceroos in the SBS Cup in Japan.
"We will be playing some top teams from around the world and it is a completely new squad of players looking to make an impact as they continue their development.
"We will be looking to see how this new group of players can cope with a hectic international schedule and how they adjust to the demands and increased quality at U20 level against some very strong opponents."
