Youngsters gather in Canberra for Young Socceroos Talent ID camp

2 min read 16 December 2019

A group of twenty-six aspiring footballers will gather at the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) in Canberra this week for a national team identification camp targeted at pinpointing potential players for the Young Socceroos.

2020 will be an important year for the Young Socceroos, with players involved in the program set to feature at the AFF U-19 Championship in Indonesia mid-year, followed by the AFC U-19 Championship in Uzbekistan in October.

The 2020 AFC U-19 Championship serves as the qualification process for the FIFA U-20 World Cup, which will next be held in Indonesia in mid-2021.

Young Socceroos Head Coach Gary van Egmond will lead the camp, with field sessions to be held on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week before the players return to their clubs.

Eight players from the Joeys’ 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup squad have been included in the camp as van Egmond gives them the chance to show their ability alongside slightly older players.

A similar camp for age-eligible overseas-based Australian players is being planned for early 2020.
