Football Queensland has unveiled two Veo Queensland state team training squads ahead of next weekend’s electric Battle of the States against Victoria.
Players from across the NPL Queensland and NPL Victoria will go head-to-head in two unmissable state vs state clashes at The Home of the Matildas on Saturday, 23 September.
“The Battle of the States will be one of the highlights of the 2023 football calendar and provides a wonderful opportunity for our best NPL Queensland players to compete against high-quality interstate opposition,” FQ General Manager – Football & State Technical Director Gabor Ganczer said.
“We’ve named a very strong extended squad of players to train together next week before the final squads are selected to travel south and take on Victoria in what is set to be a hugely exciting double header.
“With just 16 spots available on each travelling squad, we’re looking forward to seeing our players in action at next week’s training sessions as they vie for selection in the Veo Queensland state teams.”
The Queensland state team training squad selection process was overseen by Football Queensland’s Technical department and based on player availability and Hudl player statistics including Team of the Week appearances, plus 3-2-1 and Team of the Season votes submitted by NPL Queensland Head Coaches to FQ.
A training squad of 26 players has been selected for the men’s state team, with a final squad of 16 players to be selected to travel to Victoria for the Battles of the States clash.
36 players have been named in Queensland’s women’s training squad, with 16 players to be selected in the travelling squad to take on Victoria and another 16 to be named in the NPL Select side to play local opposition at Underwood Park on Saturday, 23 September (further details to be confirmed shortly).
The final travelling squads will be selected following the training session on Thursday, 21 September.
