So the u23 Asian cup is tentatively scheduled for same time as the Asian cup in January 2024 and there is no FIFA international window at that time. 

Oh wow that is a disaster if we cant play our best team

we need to treat the olyroos as seriously as the roos with the special place the olympics has for oz sporting fans

get a real coach and really pursue success rather than seeing it as a development tournament

Maybe the APL and FA could do something and create a window where no league games are played during the u23 asian cup, other countries within the confederation help their national team by stopping the league during these kind of tournaments.

This might comprise the a-league but this is very important that the Olyroos qualify so anything to help them the better.

And apparently both Asian cups are going to be played in Qatar at the same time.

The tweet 'Indonesia will not host' is a pretty big worded statement. On a provisional side, would Australia be the next best ranked AFC team? I'd tend to yes according to what occurred in the tournament. Anyway FIFA would be hard pressed to find a replacement host for something 7 weeks away. If it does happen then it'll be delayed and played elsewhere.

Can’t we just take over as last-minute host and qualify as the host? We’re amazingly set up for sporting events as a country. 

Apparently Qatar is stepping in to take it over

5min to kick off against Como. No information anywhere.

I’ve been trying to look for a stream for this everywhere, but radio silence from all the Football Australia social media accounts.

They promised that they would share a link ‘closer to the match’ :( 

Anyone know how they went?

They won 4 nil.

AleagueNow@AleagueNow_·35mThe Young Socceroos beat Como 1907 4-0 earlier this morning. Great result.

Anyone know the scorers? 

Botic
Hollman (P)
Kuol
DArrigo
You can watch goals on Football Australia twitter account 

That is super impressive.
was it a full strength seri b side?

I remember early in the year saying an a league u23 would not be relegated in the juliper league. Now im thinking as exciting as that is, it underestimated them. I remember when we would be happy for one u23 player to be juliper league level

It was the Como youth team unfortunately. 

Ah well

still good hitout and good preparation

we have to start qualifying for the olympics regularly.

it is almost as big as the olympics

Sorry no sleep last night with a newborn

almost as big as the world cup in australias mind is what i mean

Congrats!

Thanks! Got a big career promotion around the same time so a fantastic year for me :)

Yo yo........ well done Grazor..... Congrats on both mate :)

Awesome man

Killing it mate. Well done. 

Thanks guys!

Australia's group at the U17 Asian Cup are China, Saudi Arabia and Tajikistan playing in Chonburi.

#OFFICIAL | 🚨 PERU WITHDRAWN AS HOST OF FIFA U17 WORLD CUP 2023

FIFA has announced it has withdrawn 🇵🇪 Peru's right to host the FIFA U-17 World Cup 2023™ following extensive discussions between FIFA and the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF).

The tournament is still scheduled to take place from November 10 to December 2, 2023, but the Office of the FIFA Council will now appoint a new host in due course.

The move was made given the inability of the host country to fulfil its commitments to completing the infrastructure required to stage the tournament.

if they can't do u17 I guess they can't do u20

great news!

I love that it feels like we are taking the olyroos more seriously

The olympics is as big as the asian and world cup in my opinion

📣The AFC U23 Asian Cup 2024 will be held from April 15 to May 3, delayed more than 3 months from the original schedule due to conflicts with the 2023 AFC Asian Cup held also in Qatar.

🗓 The Qualifiers will be held in early September 2023. The draw ceremony of the Qualifier will be held on May 25th.

Outside any FIFA International windows, right in middle of A League season. Not long before actual Olympics either. Hopefully we can get a full squad as we would need it to qualify.
