NSW Metropolitan
Football Federation Australia has decided that in 2016, Football NSW will be granted two spots in each age group and therefore we will be selecting two squads of 16 (with a minimum of four shadow players per team) to participate at the Championships.
The trials for the Metropolitan boys began in August and continued over several weeks before the final two squads were selected.
The team have been preparing for competition over the last few weeks and move into their final week of preparation.
Head State Coach Luka Hrzina was eagerly anticipating the Coffs Harbour tournament.
“Our professional and well organised coaching/technical team worked on this project and we went with selection the widest we can using all necessary resources in Talent identification to identify the most talented players in NSW and develop them with our training programs to put them on the professional football player pathway, hopefully to be an A-League and Socceroos player one day.
“State Team Players did a great job in training sessions, they are very excited and ready to compete against the most talented youth Australian football players, they will get great exposure and a priceless experience from Nationals.”
The players who will represent NSW Metropolitan at this year’s National Youth Championships are:
