Wellington Phoenix to play Junior All Whites
Friday, July 08, 2011
The Junior All Whites will play Wellington Phoenix on July
17 at North Harbour Stadium in a warm-up for the FIFA
U-20 World Cup in Colombia.
The match serves as an opportunity for coach Chris Milicich to
test the New Zealand and Australian-based players against quality
opposition before departing for Colombia on July 21.
"The players will get a chance to play at an intense, quicker
level of football than they're used to which is crucial to our
preparation.
"It also gives us a hit-out which will be at a level similar to
those we will face at the World Cup with matches against Cameroon,
Portugal and Uruguay."
Phoenix coach Ricki Herbert will use the match as an early hit
out in their own pre-season campaign as they continue to build
their brand outside of Wellington.
"We are in the early part of our preparation and playing against
the New Zealand under-20 team is a good opportunity for us to see
how we are progressing.
"It is a great opportunity to take the Phoenix brand outside
Wellington because that is important for football. We are playing
in Dunedin next month and will be in Auckland for an A-League game
during the season."
The full Phoenix squad - bar the injured Tony Lochhead - will be
on show including new signings Lucas Pantelis and Jimmy Downey as
well as several trialists looking to secure a place on the
roster.
The match is promoted as a family affair with a friendly 2pm
kick-off and tickets priced at $10 and kids (15 years and
under) gaining entry for free if wearing a football
shirt. In addition the match will also be an alcohol free
event.
