The '''Australia national under-20 soccer team''', known colloquially as the '''Young Socceroos''', represents [[Australia]] in international under-20 [[Association football|soccer]]. The team is controlled by the governing body for [[soccer in Australia]], [[Football Australia]] (FA), which is currently a member of the [[Asian Football Confederation]] (AFC) and the regional [[ASEAN Football Federation]] (AFF) since leaving the [[Oceania Football Confederation]] (OFC) in 2006. The team's official nickname is the ''Young Socceroos''.

Australia is a twelve-time [[OFC U-20 Championship|OFC]] champion and five-time [[AFF U-19 Youth Championship|AFF]] champion. The team has represented Australia at the [[FIFA U-20 World Cup]] tournaments on fifteen occasions with their best result being a fourth-place finish in [[1991 FIFA World Youth Championship|1991]] and [[1993 FIFA World Youth Championship|1993]].

==History==

===2006 AFC U-19 Championship===
In their first foray into Asia in 2006 the team lost the quarterfinals of the [[AFC Youth Championship]], to South Korea,<ref name="Australia bows out to Koreans">[http://www.footballaustralia.com.au//default.aspx?s=aus_news_feat_news_news_item&id=10434 "Australia bows out to Koreans"], FFA, 7 November 2006</ref> despite being considered one of the stronger teams. This was the first time the Young Socceroos had failed to qualify for the [[FIFA U-20 World Cup]] since 1989. Subsequently, on 5 February 2007 the [[Football Federation Australia|FFA]] decided not to renew [[Ange Postecoglou]]'s contract as head coach,<ref name="Postecoglou contract not renewed">[http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/default.aspx?s=aus_mensu20s_news_feat_news_item&id=10541 "Postecoglou Contract Not Renewed"] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070513220446/http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/default.aspx?s=aus_mensu20s_news_feat_news_item&id=10541 |date=13 May 2007 }}, FFA, 8 February 2007</ref> he was replaced by former Socceroo, and current [[Australian Institute of Sport|AIS]] head coach of soccer, Steve O'Connor.<ref name="New national youth coaches appointed">[http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/default.aspx?s=aus_mensu20s_news_feat_news_item&id=10573 "New National Youth Coaches Appointed"] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070513220541/http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/default.aspx?s=aus_mensu20s_news_feat_news_item&id=10573 |date=13 May 2007 }}, FFA, 5 March 2007</ref>

===2008 AFC U-19 Championship===
On 24 June 2008 [[Jan Versleijen]] was appointed as the new U-20 coach ahead of the 2008 tournament, with the [[Football Federation Australia|FFA]] eager to avoid a repeat of 2006, and qualify for the [[2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup]] in Egypt.<ref name="AIS/U20 Head Coach named">[http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/MensU20/default.aspx?s=aus_u20men_newsfeatures_news_item&id=22591 "AIS/U20 Head Coach named"], FFA, 24 June 2008</ref> In preparation for the tournament, Australia competed in the [[AFF U19 Youth Championship 2008|2008 ASEAN Youth Championships]] in Thailand alongside China, Korea Republic and Thailand.<ref name="Qantas Young Socceroos named for Asean tournament">[http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/MensU20/default.aspx?s=aus_u20men_newsfeatures_news_item&id=23896 "Qantas Young Socceroos named for Asean tournament"] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110527204820/http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/MensU20/default.aspx?s=aus_u20men_newsfeatures_news_item&id=23896 |date=27 May 2011 }}, FFA, 29 September 2008</ref> A competition they ultimately won through a penalty shoot-out against South Korea.<ref name="Qantas Young Socceroos win AFF U19 Championship">[http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/MensU20/default.aspx?s=aus_u20men_newsfeatures_news_item&id=24156 "Qantas Young Socceroos win AFF U19 Championship"] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110527204839/http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/MensU20/default.aspx?s=aus_u20men_newsfeatures_news_item&id=24156 |date=27 May 2011 }}, FFA, 12 October 2008</ref> The [[2008 AFC U-19 Championship]] was hosted by [[Saudi Arabia]]. Australia topped Group D with wins over Thailand and Jordan and a 1–1 draw with Uzbekistan. Australia then needed an extra time winner from [[Mitch Nichols]] to overcome North Korea in the quarter-final before losing 3–0 to UAE in the semi-final. However, making it through to the semi-final was enough to qualify for the [[2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup]].

===2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup===
Australia qualified for the [[2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup]] in [[Egypt]] after finishing in the final four of the [[2008 AFC U-19 Championship]]. Despite a late [[James Holland (footballer)|James Holland]] penalty, Australia lost their opening game to the Czech Republic 2–1 before Costa Rica defeated the 'Young Socceroos' 3–0. In the final group game against Brazil, [[Aaron Mooy]] gave Australia an early lead however the final result saw Brazil win 3–1 and Australia was eliminated without a point.

===2010 AFC U-19 Championship===
To qualify for the tournament, Australia travelled to [[Bandung, Indonesia]] in November 2009 for the [[2010 AFC U-19 Championship qualification|qualification group]] and proceeded after finishing second in a group of six nations. Wins over Hong Kong, Chinese Taipei and Singapore proceeded to a 0–0 draw with the hosts, Indonesia and a loss to Japan.

Australia competed in the [[2010 AFC U-19 Championship|2010 AFC Under 19 Championship]] Finals held in [[Zibo]], China.<ref name="China to host AFC U-19 Championship Finals">[http://www.the-afc.com/en/inside-afc/676-afc-news/27064-zibo-china-to-host-afc-u-19-championship-finals "China to host AFC U-19 Championship Finals"], AFC, 18 February 2010</ref>

The tournament was held from 3 to 17 October 2010 in [[Shandong]] [[province of China|province]]. The matches were played at the Zibo Sports Complex Stadium and Linzi Stadium.

Wins over Yemen and Iran followed by a 0–0 draw with South Korea meant Australia topped the group on goal difference. In the quarter-final against United Arab Emirates, Australia twice led before UAE equalised and took the game to extra time. Two extra time goals for Australia set up a semi-final with Saudi Arabia, which Australia won 2–0 thanks to a [[Kerem Bulut]] double. The final was played on 17 October 2010 against North Korea. Despite leading in the first half, Australia couldn't hold on and lost the final 3–2. [[Kerem Bulut]] was the tournament's top scorer with 7 goals. Australia qualified for the [[2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup]] to be held in [[Colombia]].

===2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup===
Australia qualified for the [[2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup]] in [[Colombia]] after finishing in the final four of the [[2010 AFC U-19 Championship]]. Australia was drawn in a group comprising [[Spain national under-20 football team|Spain]], [[Ecuador national under-20 football team|Ecuador]] & [[Costa Rica national under-20 football team|Costa Rica]].

Australia failed to progress out of the group after finishing last with one point. The first fixture resulted in a one all draw with Ecuador after [[Tommy Oar]] scored a late equaliser. The next game saw Costa Rica defeat Australia 3–2. In the final game against Spain, Australia was down by four goals after just 18 minutes. In the 27th minute [[Kerem Bulut]] grabbed a goal back before Spain made it 5–1 with a 31st-minute penalty. This was to be the final score.

===2012 AFC U-19 Championship===
To participate in the [[2012 AFC U-19 Championship]] the Young Socceroos first had to [[2012 AFC U-19 Championship qualification|qualify]]. The confederation was geographically separated and Australia was grouped with other East Asian nations, China, Indonesia, Singapore and Macau. These five nations met in Malaysia in November 2011 and Australia proceeded through the group by winning all four games, scoring 20 goals and conceding just 1.

The [[2012 AFC U-19 Championship]] was hosted by [[United Arab Emirates]] in November. Australia was seeded for the tournament along with the hosts and South Korea and North Korea. Australia's opening game was against [[Qatar national under-20 football team|Qatar]]. The only goal of the game came in the 11th minute for Australia when [[Corey Gameiro]] scored. Gameiro was on the scoresheet in both of the following group games when his 81st-minute equaliser against [[Syria national under-20 football team|Syria]] and his 91st-minute equaliser against [[Saudi Arabia national under-20 football team|Saudi Arabia]] meant both games finished 1–1. The critical late goal to Saudi Arabia meant Australia not only proceeded on to the next stage at the expense of the Saudis but also topped the group.

Australia took on [[Jordan national under-20 football team|Jordan]] in the quarter-final and it was Gameiro scoring all three goals in a 3–0 win that put Australia through to the semi-final and secured qualification to the [[2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup]] in [[Turkey]]. Two second half goals to [[Iraq national under-20 football team|Iraq]] meant Australia were eliminated from the tournament. Gameiro's six goals were one short of the top goalscorer award.

===2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup===
[[Paul Okon]]<ref>{{cite web|title=Paul Okon to coach national youth sides|url=http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/news-display/Aurelio-Vidmar-and-Paul-Okon-to-coach-national-youth-sides/46788|publisher=[[Football Federation Australia]]|date=30 January 2015|access-date=30 January 2015|archive-date=28 February 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130228034148/http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/news-display/Aurelio-Vidmar-and-Paul-Okon-to-coach-national-youth-sides/46788|url-status=dead}}</ref> coached Australia in the [[2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup]] in [[Turkey]] where they failed to win a game despite scoring the first goal in all 3 fixtures. [[Daniel De Silva]] gave Australia the lead before Colombia levelled the game at 1–1. [[Joshua Brillante]] scored early before El Salvador scored twice before halftime and [[Jamie Maclaren]] scored in the 52nd minute but again Australia couldn't hold on with the hosts, with Turkey scoring twice. These results mean Australia has failed to win in any of their last 13 [[U-20 World Cup]] fixtures with the last victory coming over Brazil on 4 December 2003.

===2014 AFC U-19 Championship===
Australia started the [[2014 AFC U-19 Championship]] campaign by participating in the [[2014 AFC U-19 Championship qualification|qualifiers]] in October 2013. They travelled to [[Malaysia]] where they were joined by [[Vietnam national under-19 football team|Vietnam]], [[Hong Kong national under-20 football team|Hong Kong]] and [[Chinese Taipei national under-20 football team|Chinese Taipei]]. Mongolia had withdrawn. The first game was an easy 7–0 win over Hong Kong. [[Peter Skapetis]] scored four goals. They then defeated Chinese Taipei 3–0 before a humiliating 5–1 loss to Vietnam. Despite this, Australia was to proceed to the finals tournament as one of the best second placed teams.

The [[2014 AFC U-19 Championship]] was hosted by [[Myanmar]] in October 2014. [[Paul Okon]] again was head coach of the Young Socceroos for the tournament. The opening game was against [[United Arab Emirates national under-20 football team|United Arab Emirates]]. [[Brandon Borrello]] gave Australia a late lead but an 85th-minute penalty to the UAE saw the score end in a draw.<ref>{{cite web|title=Young Socceroos Draw|url=http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport/football/brandon-borrello-gets-on-scoresheet-as-young-socceroos-open-afc-championship-with-uae-draw/story-fnii0fc4-1227087232116?nk=6e90a51b4df1e78e11f0ef20c6a2d991|work=Adelaide Now|date=11 October 2014}}</ref> The second match was a 1–0 win over [[Indonesia national under-19 football team|Indonesia]] through a [[Jaushua Sotirio]] goal. The final group game had Australia leading [[Uzbekistan national under-20 football team|Uzbekistan]] in the 66th minute thanks to [[Stefan Mauk]]. However, an 82nd-minute equaliser would prove devastating for Australia as this, and the result in the concurrent game placed UAE, Uzbekistan and Australia all on five points with Australia having the inferior goal difference and hence elimination from the tournament. Many observers sighted Australia's lack of desire to score more goals against Indonesia as the contributing factor to the elimination. Australia failed to qualify for the [[New Zealand]] [[2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup]]. This is just the second time since 1989 that Australia hasn't competed in the biennial event.

===2016 AFC U-19 Championship===
Australia qualified for the [[2016 AFC U-19 Championship]] that was held in [[Bahrain]] in October 2016. In the [[2016 AFC U-19 Championship qualification|qualifiers]] hosted by Laos, they finished runner-up in their group and progressed on goal difference as one of the five best second placed teams. Comfortable wins over Philippines and Laos were followed by a heavy 3–0 loss to [[Japan national under-20 football team|Japan]]. [[Steve Kuzmanovski]] finished as Australia's top scorer with three goals. This was the sixth consecutive U-19 Championship that Australia qualified for.

Australia was coached by [[Ufuk Talay]] for the tournament and was drawn into [[2016 AFC U-19 Championship#Group D|Group D]]. The opening fixture was a 1–0 victory against [[China national under-20 football team|China]] through a goal to [[Mario Shabow]]. The second game was against [[Uzbekistan national under-20 football team|Uzbekistan]]. The Uzbeks led by three until they suffered a send off. Australia then responded through two second half penalties to [[Liam Youlley]] and [[George Blackwood]] however the final result was a 3–2 win for Uzbekistan. Australia needed to win against [[Tajikistan national under-20 football team|Tajikistan]] in the final group game to progress. [[Anthony Kalik]] had an early penalty saved and was later sent off for two yellow cards. The game finished 0–0 and Australia were eliminated from the tournament. As a consequence, they also failed to qualify for the [[2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup]]. This is the first time that Australia has failed to qualify for two consecutive U-20 World Cups.

===2018 AFC U-19 Championship===
The [[2018 AFC U-19 Championship]] was hosted by [[Indonesia]] in October and November. Australia commenced their [[2018 AFC U-19 Championship qualification|qualification]] for the tournament in [[Vietnam]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.the-afc.com/u-19-championship-2018/afc-u-19-championship-2018-qualifiers-group-j-to-be-played-in-hanoi|title=AFC U-19 Championship 2018 Qualifiers: Group J to be played in Hanoi|publisher=[[Asian Football Confederation|AFC]]|date=13 October 2017}}</ref> The matches had originally been scheduled to be played in [[Shepparton, Victoria]] however the Australian government refused entry to the [[North Korea national under-20 football team|North Korean squad]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://thenewdaily.com.au/sport/football/2017/10/09/australian-visa-ban-north-korea-junior-soccer-team/|title=Visa ban on North Korean football team forces major tournament offshore|first=James|last=Willoughby|newspaper=[[The New Daily]]|date=9 October 2017}}</ref> As a result, the matches were moved to neutral Vietnam although the costs associated with the shift in venue saw [[Northern Mariana Islands national under-20 football team|Northern Mariana Islands]] withdraw. This left just two opponents in the group, North Korea and [[Hong Kong national under-20 football team|Hong Kong]]. In Australia's first match against Hong Kong, [[Ramy Najjarine]] scored early and then a late double from [[Moudi Najjar]] gave Australia a 3–0 win.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.socceroos.com.au/news/young-socceroos-make-winning-start-hanoi|title=Young Socceroos make winning start in Hanoi|publisher=[[Football Federation Australia]]|date=5 November 2017}}</ref> They then defeated North Korea 4–1 with goals again to Najjarine and Najjar as well as [[Fabian Monge]] and [[Denis Genreau]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/young-socceroos-qualify-for-asian-championship|title=Young Socceroos qualify for Asian championship|publisher=[[Special Broadcasting Service|SBS]]|work=[[The World Game]]|date=9 November 2017}}</ref>

With [[Ante Milicic]] now in charge, Australia started the tournament against [[South Korea national under-20 football team|South Korea]] in [[Bekasi]]. The Koreans scored first in the 55th minute however Najjarine curled in an 89th-minute equaliser to share the points.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.foxsports.ph/football/asian-football/924514/afc-u-19-championship-australia-deny-korea-republic-at-the-death/|title=AFC U-19 Championship: Australia deny Korea Republic at the death|first=Gabriel|last=Tan|publisher=[[Fox Sports Asia|Fox Sports]]|date=19 October 2018}}</ref> The second match was against [[Vietnam national under-20 football team|Vietnam]] which Australia won 2–1 through goals to [[Angus Thurgate]] and [[Ben Folami]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/young-socceroos-sink-valiant-vietnam|title=Young Socceroos sink valiant Vietnam|publisher=[[Special Broadcasting Service|SBS]]|work=[[The World Game]]|date=22 October 2018}}</ref> Reports emerged after the game that many of the Australian squad had been suffering from illness.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.socceroos.com.au/news/milicic-hails-young-socceroos-after-crucial-win-over-vietnam|title=Milicic hails Young Socceroos after crucial win over Vietnam|publisher=[[Football Federation Australia]]|first=John|last=Greco|date=23 October 2018}}</ref> In their last group match against [[Jordan national under-20 football team|Jordan]], Australia needed at least a draw to advance and they finished 1–1, with [[Oliver Puflett]] scoring the goal in the 10th minute.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.ftbl.com.au/news/young-socceroos-survive-jordan-onslaught-514542|title=Young Socceroos survive Jordan onslaught|newspaper=[[FourFourTwo|FTBL]]|date=26 October 2018}}</ref> In the quarter-final, Australia lost 3–1 to [[Saudi Arabia national under-20 football team|Saudi Arabia]], with [[Nathaniel Atkinson]] scoring their only goal.
