Touring squads have been named for the three Ricki Herbert Football Academy sides entered in this year’s Sydney Youth Cup.
After success at previous tournaments – in 2016, RHFA’s U-11 team won its age group – the academy has decided to take squads to compete in the U-12, U-13 and U-15 sections of this year’s event.
The Sydney Youth Cup attracts interstate Australian teams and international entries and is open to boys and girls aged 8-18.
This year’s tournament (July 15-19) is the 10th annual cup and will be staged at the prestigious Olympic Park.
The 2018 touring teams will be kitted out in a new Realise-sponsored strip – click here to see how it looks.
