The Subway Joeys take on Switzerland U-16 in a friendly match as part of their two week training camp in northern Italy on Thursday, 11 April at 9:00pm AEST.
Brad Maloney's new look side will travel north of the border to Switzerland for the match in what is his first hit-out as the group of players born in 2008/09 begins its journey through another qualification cycle.
Following extensive scouting and monitoring over the past 12-months, this will be the first camp Maloney – also a current Subway Socceroos’ Assistant Coach – has called for this age group, as the Subway Joeys look ahead to the AFC U-17 Asian Cup 2025™ scheduled for April and the FIFA U-17 World Cup Qatar 2025™.
Indeed, April’s camp represents the first taste of a national team environment for this squad, as they begin their respective journeys through Football Australia’s elite development pathway.
It’s also the first time Football Australia has assembled a squad for the new cycle, following FIFA’s announcement that the FIFA U-17 World Cup will become an annual event from 2025, where Qatar will host the men’s tournament for the next five years.
The Aussies will then tackle Inter Milan's U17 outfit on Tuesday, 16 April at 11:00pm AEST to conclude the camp.
How To Watch
The match can be streamed live here.
Kick-off is at 9:00pm AEST.
