Coach Paul Okon has named three young Western Sydney Wanderers in a 23-man squad for a training camp ahead of October's Under-19 World Cup.

Training squad: Daniel Alessi (Western Sydney Wanderers), Shannon Brady (Brisbane Roar), Jordan Brown (Melbourne Victory), Brandon Borello (Roar), Devante Clut (Roar), Shayne D'Cunha (Wanderers), Daniel De Silva (Perth Glory), Alusine Fofanah (Wanderers), Lawrence Hanna (Wanderers) Michael Kantarovski (Newcastle Jets), Jordan Lampard (Roar), Awer Mabil (Adelaide United), Joshua Macdonald (Sydney FC), Thomas Manos (gk) (Wanderers), Marc Marino (AIS), Mark Ochieng (AIS), Luke Radonich (gk) (Glory), Liam Rose (AIS), Jordan Thurtell (gk) (AIS), George Timotheou (AIS), Jaiden Walker (Roar), Ben Warland (AIS), Riley Woodcock (Glory)
I wonder if this means Awer's birth certificate issues are fixed? Great to see Ochieng and Warland there to who are going to join AU's senior squad next season.
The 4 countries that make the semi finals will qualify for the U20 WC which is being hosted by New Zealand.

A fairly tough draw. The Uzzies and UAE are improving as footballing nations rather dramatically so our group will be a tough one to progress from.

I haven't seen a squad but Awer, Izzo and Warland are part of it.
The squad selected by Okon departed Sydney yesterday and will be in the UAE from 5 to 18 May. They will play two international friendly matches against the Oman U-20 National Team (9 and 11 May) and another two international friendly matches against the UAE U-20 National Team (14 and 16 May).

Shannon Brady (Brisbane Roar)
Brandon Borrello (Brisbane Roar)
Anthony Bouzanis (gk)(Sydney FC)

The AFC U19 championship follows this one quite closely, October 9-23 I think. I wonder if there will be any squad changes? You'd think Chris Ikonomidis would walk into the squad obviously.

Travis Cooper plays there as well. Sometimes it is amazing to see how many Australians are actually out there in the fields of Europe.

Went down 1-0 to Vietnam after a late goal from them. Not a great start to the AFF tournament

Wow I'm not sure what I'm blown away by more, the crowd or how lousy our defending was.

Young Socceroos went down to Japan 4-3. The winner came in the 3rd minute of injury time.
Galloway, Ascroft and Skapetis scored for us.
That means we're out of the tournament.
Awer Mabil started.

Crikey, that is a huge crowd for an u-19's tournament. To be fair to our defenders there were only 7 of them

Rising Australian defender Cameron Burgess has insisted there was no risk of a family rift when he made one of the toughest football decisons he will ever face - opting to turn his back on Scotland to represent Australia.

Great news. If he's getting first XI game time at Fulham surely he should be called up to the Socceroos not just the U20's!

So Japan ended up winning the AFF Tournament. I guess the Young Socceroos can take some stock from the fact that both sides that beat them in the tournament made the final.
AFC tournament start on October 9th.
