Nick Suman called up to Olyroos squad

We are happy to today confirm Olyroos call-ups for goalkeeper Nick Suman ahead of the upcoming AFC U23 Asian Cup Qualifiers.

This marks the first under-23 call-up for Nick, who last week departed Sydney for Dubai.

Head Coach Ante Milicic said:

“We are delighted to see Nick selected for the Australian U23 Men’s National Team. He has worked incredibly hard and is well deserving of his position. We wish them every success during their time in camp.”

The squad – currently in camp in Dubai ahead of their transit to Tajikistan – will play Indonesia in two matches in Dushanbe, with the winner over the two fixtures advancing to next year’s AFC U23 Asian Cup.

Originally Australia had been scheduled to play Indonesia, as well as China PR and Brunei Darussalam in Group G of Asian qualifying, however after the latter two nations withdrew from qualifying the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) reconfigured the Group B match schedule. Australia will now need to defeat Indonesia in a two-match series to advance to Uzbekistan 2022.
