FNSW Institute players selected in Joeys squad

Australian Joeys (U17) coach Tony Vidmar has announced his 23-man squad for the upcoming AFF Under-16 Youth Championships in Cambodia later this month.
Vidmar settled on his squad following a string of training camps since the start of 2015.
Of this 23-man squad, 7 players have been selected from the Football NSW Institute of Sport U15 squad who recently finished 16th at the Manchester United Premier Cup – World Finals. Football NSW Institute’s Ahmed Sweedan missed the MUPC World Finals but has recently overcome injury concerns to make the final squad.
The 8 FNSWI players will be joined by Marconi FC’s Adrian Valenti and Sydney United 58 FC’s Mark Moric.
The Joeys are in Group B for the tournament in Phnom Penh, which starts at the end of July, and will take on Singapore, Philippines, Myanmar and the host nation Cambodia.
The 11-nation tournament will be vital preparation for the AFC Under-16 Championships, which act as qualifiers for the Under-17 World Cup.
“It will give the players their first experience of playing international football in Asia and give them a good idea of what they’ll be up against in the qualifiers,” Technical Director Peter de Roo said.
“We will continue to build on the work we have been doing with these players in camps throughout the year.”
The top four nations at the AFC Under-16 tournament will progress to the Under-17 World Cup.
