CommBank Young Socceroos’ Head Coach, Trevor Morgan has been forced to make a change to his squad for the upcoming Australia–China Friendship Series during the March FIFA Men’s International Window.
James Overy (Manchester United) has withdrawn from the squad due to illness and will be replaced by Gabriel Tilo (Sydney United 58).
The tour to China is supported by the Australian Government through the National Foundation of Australia–China Relations (NFACR) and forms part of a broader program of football engagement aimed at strengthening sporting, cultural and people-to-people links between Australia and China.
Australia will face China in two matches on Saturday 28 March and Tuesday 31 March 2026 at Yiwu Meihu Sports Center Stadium in Yiwu, Zhejiang Province.
The Australia–China Friendship Series represents an important step in preparations for the AFC U20 Asian Cup 2026 Qualifying tournament scheduled for 26 August to 6 September 2026.
