Joeys head coach Trevor Morgan has assembled the two age groups at the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) this week, as an important part of the development of the men’s football pathway.

The U-17 squad is in camp from 19 to 22 August and the U-15 squad from 22 to 25 August, giving players from both valuable preparation time and offering a unique opportunity for them to engage with each other and share their experiences, learnings and expectations.

Morgan said: “We want to improve the standard of Australian football and give members of both squads a clear sense of where they sit in the development pathway. This includes inviting four players who represented Australia at the recent 2019 AFF U-15 Championship in Thailand into the U-17 camp, to share their experiences and in turn learn from the older age group.

“The Under-17s have built an exceptional team culture and we are very keen for this to be passed on to the next group coming through. The players realise their responsibility not only to their peers but to the younger players in the national teams setup,” he added.

Morgan also paid tribute to the Young Socceroos, who were victorious in the AFF Championshipovernight, defeating Malaysia 1-0 to clinch the title.

“Congratulations to Gary van Egmond and the team, it’s great to celebrate success at all levels of Australian football," Morgan said.

“Gary will be flying straight from Vietnam to Canberra to be part of this Joeys camp, and I’m sure he will be keeping a keen eye on players with the potential to step up into the Young Socceroos.”

The U-17 squad is busy preparing for the FIFA U-17 World Cup Brazil 2019^TM which runs from 26 October to 17 November, and next week they head to Leicester in England for another training camp and warm-up matches against England, Korea Republic and Brazil.
