Customs need to be readied to age check the opposition teams.

Hope the games will be shown on youtube or on stream

Most of these teams are so shit it doesnt even matter.

Both links say India is hosting ?

TSF was talking about the qualifiers for it.

Im hoping because its in Melbourne Fox will pick it up.

Yes Melbourne is hosting the qualifiers.

just for our group though..



Tickets should be pretty cheap so i might go.

Who would set prices?

When i went to the AFC champions league at AAMI last year, i think i paid like $15 for a concession ticket.

I doubt fox will pick it up, hopefully someone might youtube it or maybe a dodgy stream from Asia could pick it up. :d

Finally we host a group for youth qualifiers!

Wiki is saying the games will be at AAMI Park, I'd have thought Lakeside would have sufficed.

All the games are on a Tuesday - slightly more difficult but not impossible. Love to watch the junior Aussies running around.

This times a million. I'm sure Canberra hosted the 17s when we first joined asian. Shame it's not the 20s but this will be good. So at the moment it's only Wiki thats saying Melbourne is hosting and not the Afc website?

Customs and Border Protection will check that the person is who they say they are on their passport and that they have the appropriate visa. Otherwise they don't care how old the person is.

It's up to the AFC to check and audit players' credentials. Presumably their passport would be their primary form of identification so as long as that matches up, there is little else that can be done short of bone density testing.

The young lads are at the last trials in Canberra as we speak. I would like to wish all the boys the best of luck in particular the Vic boys that are still in the mix. Would be great to see them running around in the green and gold on AAMI park :d

Thanks mate for the information. Would you by any chance know how they were selected?

Yeh most were identified through the state programs over the last 2 years. Coffs Harbour nationals, NTC nationals, and the current NTC programs. I would say some may have even been seen at club level and been called up.

Sounds good. Im just hoping that we get the cream of the crop.

The FFT Melbourne users should all meet up and go to the matches together :cool: :cool:

Any link on the AFC site for this being in Melbs?

Yeah alright.

Itd be embarrassing watching a bunch of 14/15 year olds who could run rings around us.

Also looking forward to the u17 WC. 4 months will feel like a long wait.

One step at a time. Havent even qualified for asia yet. :lol:

I look more forward to the Youth U-17 WC than i do for the Women World Cup.

Huh ? Australia qualified for the chile under 17 cup last year

Oath. Far more interesting to see who is up and coming in football and see the future Melbourne Victory #products.
