Under-21 National Team To Participate In Newspaper Cup
SINGAPORE, 18 NOVEMBER 2015: The Football Association of Singapore (FAS) is pleased to announce that the squad list for the Under-21 National Team that will play in the Vietnam Youth Newspaper Cup 2015 has been finalised.
There are 20 players in the young squad, which has an average age of just 19.35. It will be captained by Afiq Noor of the Courts Young Lions.
“This tournament will be a very good gauge for us to see where we stand in the region at this age group. Although the rules allow us to bring three overaged players, we have decided to bring just one, Afiq Noor, so that we can truly test our youths. We are glad our players will get a chance to experience playing in a few international matches,” said Head Coach, National Youth Teams Richard Tardy.
The team departed for the tournament, to be held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, today. Singapore is in Group A, together with the Thailand Under-21 squad and the Vietnam Youth Newspaper Under-21 team. Group B consists of Hoang Anh Gia Lai FC Under-21, Korea Republic Under-19, and Myanmar Under-21.
