Tournament football presents a completely different challenge to domestic and training environments and this experience will be invaluable for their growth as international players.\n\n“This tournament gives us a chance to expose the players to the demands they’ll face at higher international levels including different playing styles, environments and expectations. It’s a key part of preparing them for the future.\n\n“The ASEAN U17 Championship fits perfectly into our long‑term pathway. It allows us to challenge the players in a competitive international setting while reinforcing the standards and behaviours we expect at national team level.”\n\nThe CommBank Joeys’ campaign will kick off on Saturday, 11 April in Sidoarjo, Indonesia, where they will meet Brunei at Gelora Delta Sidoarjo. The squad will then play two further Group C fixtures against Singapore on Tuesday, 14 April and Cambodia on Friday, 17 April also at Gelora Delta Sidoarjo.\n\nCommBank Joeys Squad | ASEAN U17 Championship 2026\n\nCommBank Joeys Match Schedule | ASEAN U17 Championship 2026\n\nGroup C – Match OneDate: Saturday, 11 April 2026Kick-off: 3.30pm (local)\n\n6.30pm (AEST)Teams: CommBank Joeys v Brunei U17Venue: Gelora Delta Sidoarjo, Sidoarjo, Indonesia\n\nGroup C – Match TwoDate: Tuesday, 14 April 2026Kick-off: 7.30pm (local)\n\n10.30pm (AEST)Teams: Singapore U17 v CommBank JoeysVenue: Gelora Delta Sidoarjo, Sidoarjo, Indonesia\n\nGroup C – Match ThreeDate: Friday, 17 April 2026Kick-off: 3.30pm (local)\n\n6.30pm (AEST)Teams: CommBank Joeys v Cambodia U17Venue: Gelora Delta Sidoarjo, Sidoarjo, Indonesia\n\nShareShareShare this link viaShare this:Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)FacebookShare on X (Opens in new window)XOr Copy LinkCopy\n\nShare on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n\nShare on X (Opens in new window)\n\nKeep up with our latest news and events.
