Melbourne City FC's Beckham Baker played a crucial role in the CommBank Young Socceroos' triumph at the ASEAN U19 Boys’ Championship, securing a 2-0 victory over Thailand U19s. The final match took place at the North Sumatra Stadium on June 13, 2026, where Baker scored the second goal in stoppage time, sealing the win for Australia. This victory marks an important milestone for the Young Socceroos, as they lifted the trophy for the sixth time in history. The team showcased their strength throughout the tournament, including a remarkable 10-0 win against the Philippines in the group stage. Medin Memeti, also from Melbourne City FC, earned the Golden Boot by scoring five goals during the competition. The Young Socceroos' head coach, Richard Garcia, led the team in the absence of Trevor Morgan, who was scouting for the senior Socceroos at the FIFA World Cup 2026™. This championship victory highlights the effectiveness of Australia's youth development pathway and sets the stage for upcoming AFC U20 Asian Cup qualifiers in 2027. Melbourne City FC continues to contribute to the national team's success by developing talented players like Baker and Memeti.
