National team coach Felipe Vega-Arango names his first training squad in a press conference this morning.
Felipe have been watching players in the Telekom S-League for past weeks and he has picked players based on technical analysis done by him and Technical director Moses Toata.
The Spaniard announced a 25-man squad consist mostly of young players who had been playing well for their clubs in the country’s premier club competition.
Felipe said this is not the final team as players can be picked or drop based on performances with their clubs.
