Xie was born in Australia but does not hold an Australian passport

Only learned this recently but in the J-League they actually distribute part of the TV revenue based on fan engagement. Factoring things like DAZN viewership and subscriptions linked to each club. Forcing teams to think about marketing, content and growing their audience instead of relying...

His dad was born and raised in Australia.

Western United’s average attendance at GMHBA was 5,655. A new 5,000-capacity facility similar to Morshead Park, with seven or more pitches, is being planned at Armstrong Creek, which could work well. I would expect crowds to be higher than those at Macarthur and Western United.

Surf Coast FC has 1,000 players registered this season, while Colac Otway Rovers are expecting another jump after a 343% increase last season.

Some dual-national players we could see feature for the u17's this year Max Lyall-Rajendra (2009) plays for Watford u18 as a 16 year old ( ENG / AUS ) Anton Mitchell (2009) 6’6 GK playing for Cagliari u18 ( DEN / AUS )

Two Japanese players with Australian connections: Cailen Hill, whose dad is Australian, is 3rd choice at Sanfrecce Hiroshima and has 1 Japan U18 cap. I think Ko Miyazaki, whose mum is Australian and plays for Vegalta Sendai in J2, has been mentioned in this thread. He’s good enough for the...

A promising 2010-born prospect is Mahdi Nicoll-Jazuli. Born in Sydney to an Australian mother, he recently became Chelsea’s youngest ever starter in the UEFA Youth League and has also appeared in the EFL Trophy.

Born in Sydney, he is also eligible for Serbia.

Iran finished second in their group behind India, which means they failed to qualify for the U17 Asian Cup for the first time since 1994.

I was going through the U17s and the 2009 cohort looks stacked. You’ve got Antonio Arena (Roma), Gianluca Okon (Club NXT), Johann Wicklein (Getafe), William Millwood (Partizan) and Mathew Baker all turning out for other youth national teams at the moment, and then guys like Besian Kutleshi...
