Head Coach of the Westfield Young Matildas, Alen Stajcic, has selected a 25-player squad for the training camp at Sydney Olympic Park Athletic Centre in Homebush, Sydney, from Friday 26 through to Monday 29 June. The camp forms part of the preparations for the upcoming AFC U-19 Women's Championships 2009 to be held in the Chinese city of Wuhan from 1 to 12 August. The Championships will also double as the qualification process for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup to be held in Germany next year. "This camp will give our squad yet another opportunity to prepare prior to our departure to China in August," said Stajcic. "The players comprise mostly of those that toured recently to Italy and Thailand. The tour was a valuable learning experience for the squad. "Again, this camp will aid with the selection process for the final squad that will travel to China," concluded Stajcic. Australia qualified for the chance to compete in the AFC U-19 Women's Championships late last year in Kuala Lumpur by winning three of their four matches to finish a convincing second in their group. The Championships will see Australia match up against Japan, China and Chinese Taipei in their Group B matches.
