Westfield Australian Under-14 Girls National Team Head Coach, Jeff Hopkins, has selected a squad of thirty (30) players to attend a training camp at the Australian Institute of Sport, Canberra from Thursday 21 May to Sunday 24 May.

From this training camp, a final squad of twenty two (22) players will be selected to represent Australia at the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Under 14 Girls - Festival of Football which will be held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, from 17 June to 30 June 2009.

Hopkins, along with Westfield Matildas Head Coach, Tom Sermanni, and FFA National Technical Director Han Berger, selected the squad from the recent FFA National Junior Championships which were held in Canberra.

“I-m excited about this camp, all the coaching staff are looking forward to it,” said Hopkins.

“I was impressed with the standard of play at the recent Championships and this is a good opportunity for us to work on some principles that we can build on as a team.

“It is going to be a tough few days of training and at the end of it all, a great opportunity for 22 young players to represent Australia in Vietnam this June,” concluded Hopkins.
