U18s Newcastle Jets travel to Sydney on Saturday to take on Western Sydney Wanderers in their second last trial game of the 2023 pre-season programme.

After playing in the rain and thunder at Bonnyrigg a fortnight ago and the extremely hot conditions at Parramatta FC a week ago, Newcastle Jets prepare for their second last trial game before the start of the 2023 season. Most players have returned from holidays and after energy sapping training sessions throughout the week at LMRFF and the Newcastle University, are ready for their clash with Western Sydney Wanderers.

 As with most pre-season fixtures, these games offer players the opportunity to put valuable game time minutes under their belt ahead of the start of the Youth League One competition on February 19^th, 2023.

Regardless of the results and score lines, valuable game time minutes were gained by the players of both teams which is so necessary to improve match speed and fitness at this early stage of the pre-season. The Newcastle Jets face Western Sydney Wanderers next on Saturday at Wanderers Football Park.

George Tsamouras on the attack against Parramatta FC at LMRFF

U18s Newcastle Jets take on Parramatta FC in the second pre-season match after Christmas in preparation for the 2023 season.

After defeating Bonnyrigg 4-1 last week but with many Youth team members in the line-up, the U18s will attempt to put playing minutes under their belt against an opponent which they dominated last season in every age group.

U18s defeated Parramatta 4-2 and 3-1, U16s won 2-0 and 4-1, U15s won by 8-0 in both games, U14s were held to a 1-1 draw at home and won 3-1 away while the u13s won 8-0 and 6-0! Convincing scores but the most important aspect in the games on Saturday is getting game minutes under the belts of most players on preparation for the start of the 2023 season on 19^th February!

The Australian U17s “Joeys” commence their preparations for June’s AFC U-17 Asian Cup Thailand 2023 when they compete in the four nations U-17 Antalya Youth Cup in Turkey next month.

The Australians will face U-17 national men’s teams representing Czechia, Morocco, and Uzbekistan from 8 – 18 February 2023, with Subway Joeys’ Head Coach Brad Maloney selecting a 23-player squad for this tournament.

Speaking about the tournament, Brad Maloney said: “The Antalya Youth Cup presents an exciting opportunity to pit some of the country’s best emerging footballers against leading opposition from three different continents.

“To be able to play the likes of Czechia, Morocco, and Uzbekistan within the space of six days presents an ideal learning experience for this squad as we prepare for June’s AFC U-17 Asian Cup and hopefully the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Peru later this year,” said Maloney.

This will be the first time the Subway Joeys have come together for a camp or tournament since topping their respective Group during the AFC U-17 Asian Cup 2023™ Qualifiers held in Shepparton, Victoria, during October 2022.

Maloney – appointed to the Head Coach role in August of last year – and his coaching staff have spent the past three months watching matches from both home and abroad to support their planning for 2023 and beyond, with seven new faces being selected in the squad for the Antalya Youth Cup.

“With our elite youth pathways in hiatus for almost three years due to the pandemic, it’s more important than ever we are continually monitoring, scouting, and unearthing talent to ensure every eligible player is on our radar and considered for national team honours,” explained Maloney.

“We have made several changes to the squad who contested the qualifiers in October, with the view to providing international exposure to as many players as possible and to build depth as part of our preparations for this year’s Asian Cup,” concluded Maloney.

Due to this tournament being played outside a FIFA window, Adelaide United FC’s Nestory Irankunda was unavailable for selection.

The Asian Football Confederation confirmed earlier this month that Thailand will host the AFC U-17 Asian Cup 2023™, with the tournament to now take place, 15 June – 2 July 2023. The Draw for the AFC U-17 Asian Cup Thailand 2023™ is scheduled to occur in March, where Australia will the need to reach the semi-finals to qualify for the FIFA U-17 World Cup Peru 2023™, to run 10 November – 2 December 2023.
