Our SD Raiders boys recently participated in a friendly match against the Future Matilda’s program, and it turned out to be an exciting and competitive encounter!
We’re thrilled to announce that eight of our very own boys from the youth league program have been selected to represent in the upcoming Emerging Socceroos Championships! This is an incredible achievement and a proud moment for our club, our coaches, and of course, the families who’ve supported these talented young athletes every step of the way.
The Emerging Socceroos Tournament is a prestigious showcase for Australia’s brightest young football talent, and having nine players chosen is a testament to the hard work, discipline, and skill development happening right here in our program.
These players have shown not just technical ability, but also leadership, teamwork, and the kind of determination that defines the next generation of elite footballers. We’ll be cheering them on as they compete on a national stage, and we can’t wait to see them grow even further through this experience.
