Hailing from Shepparton, Kuol said: “John McEwen Reserve is my stomping ground. That’s where me and my brothers used to play all our lives. There’s a special bond there, it’s a special place.
“The main pitch there is probably the best in Victoria. You wouldn’t really expect it, a place two hours away from Melbourne to be the best in Victoria, but I reckon it is,” Kuol explained.
Having just turned 18-years of age, Kuol – who looks set to sign with English Premier League side, Newcastle United – made his Subway Socceroos’ debut against the New Zealand All Whites last Sunday, 25 September, and said next week’s tournament in Shepparton is exciting for the whole region.
“It’s exciting for the Shepparton as a whole. The sporting side of the community is a big part of Shepparton and to host international football is exciting for the region and hopefully it can inspire kids around the area to get into football and sport, get active, and push themselves,” Kuol concluded.
The Group features Australia’s Subway Joeys, Cambodia, China PR, and Northern Mariana Islands with a spot in the AFC U-17 Asian Cup 2023™ up for grabs.
The tournament will be played across three match days, where each match day features a double-header.
