Brisbane Roar Academy duo Kane Gibbs and Jack Warshawsky have today been confirmed as part of  Joeys Head Coach Trevor Morgan’s 23-man squad selected to represent Australia at the 2019 AFF U-15 Championship in Chonburi, Thailand.

Australia will take on hosts Thailand, Malaysia, Laos, Cambodia, and Brunei Darussalam in Group B of the competition.

Indonesia, Myanmar, Vietnam, Timor-Leste, Singapore, and Philippines will contest Group A, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the Semi-Finals of the tournament. 

The Group Stage will commence on July 27, while the Final will be held on August 9. 

ā€œThe 2019 AFF U-15 Championship represents the start of this Joeys age groupā€™s journey to the FIFA U-17 World Cup in 2021,ā€ Morgan said.

ā€œWith a minimum of five and up to seven international matches over the two weeks of the tournament, the AFF U-15 Championship will give the players selected a great introduction to international football. 

ā€œOur time in Chonburi will also provide our staff with the chance to work on some key principles with the boys ahead of our 2020 AFC U-16 Championship qualifiers in Vietnam in September this year,ā€ he said. 

Ahead of the trip to Thailand the Joeys will hold a brief training camp in Narrabeen north of Sydney. 

Seven additional players will join the camp in Narrabeen ā€“ Noah Gardner (South Hobart FC, TAS), Jake Girdwood-Reich (Sydney FC, NSW), Julian Monge (Western Sydney Wanderers FC, NSW), Josip Orlovic (Gk) (Sydney United, NSW), Alexander Trajanoski (Blacktown Spartans, NSW), Zac Waddell (Central Coast Mariners FC, NSW), and Jesper Webber (Western Sydney Wanderers FC, NSW).
