Disappointing Campaign for Under 19 Azkals in AFF U19 Championship 2016
The U19 Boys National Team participated in the AFF U19 Championship 2016 scheduled from September 11-24 2016 in Hanoi, Vietnam. The Philippines is grouped with Malaysia, Timor-Leste, Singapore, and host Vietnam in Group A. The other Group is composed of Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Australia, Cambodia and Indonesia.
It was a disappointing campaign for the Azkals Under 19 team, that means it’s early rest for the team as it didn’t win a single game.
What we usually consider as the “lowly” Timor Leste, the boys lost 1-2. The senior team ranked 183 in the FIFA rankings.
On its second game against Malaysia, it was an embarrassing rout, we conceded 5 goals and scoring nothing.
Although they lost again on their third game against Vietnam, the teen Azkals scored 3 goals, but the Vietnamese responded with 4 goals for their second win, and 1 draw.
Our Under 19 boys ended the campaign basically the same way like how they started, they lost 1-2 to the Singaporeans on the September 17, held at Vietnam YFTC.
