Watch: Australia U23 v Republic of Ireland U21 - Marbella Friendly Match

The Australia U23's are set to play their first of four friendly matches at 9pm (AEST) Wednesday, June 2 - and you can catch all of the action right here.  

Australia’s preparations for Tokyo 2020 are continuing as a selection of potential Olyroos and men’s national team players of the future assemble in Spain, guided by Seoul 1988 Olympian and current Young Socceroos Head Coach, Gary van Egmond, as well as National Technical Director and Joeys Head Coach, Trevor Morgan.

On Wednesday evening (AEST) Australia will play Republic of Ireland’s U21 men’s national team, before taking part in international friendlies against fellow Tokyo 2020 qualified nations Saudi Arabia (Group D) on June 5, Romania (Group B) on June 8, and Mexico (Group A) on June 12 local time.

All four matches will be available via live stream on the official Socceroos website. In addition, the matches can be viewed via the My Football Youtube channel player embedded below. 

The Olyroos’ final squad selection for Tokyo 2020 is due to be announced in late June, before the squad assembles in Japan for a training camp in early July.

Australia will return to the men’s football tournament at the Olympic Games for the first time since Beijing 2008 this year. Tokyo 2020 also marks the first time that Australia will be represented in both men’s and women’s football since Athens 2004.
