Melbourne City FC is proud to announce that its young talents played a pivotal role in Australia being crowned ASEAN U19 Boys’ Champions. Five players from Melbourne City FC, including Beckham Baker, Medin Memeti, Peter Antoniou, Lachie Charles, and Lawrence Wong, contributed significantly to the national team's success in the tournament. The final match took place on Saturday night at North Sumatra Stadium, where Australia triumphed over Thailand with a score of 2-0, securing the nation’s sixth ASEAN U19 title.

In the decisive match, Beckham Baker scored a crucial goal, doubling Australia's lead after Alexander Garbowski had opened the scoring. This victory capped off an impressive tournament for the Young Socceroos, who demonstrated exceptional skill and teamwork throughout. Medin Memeti also shone brightly during the competition, finishing as the leading goalscorer and earning the Golden Boot with five goals.

Memeti's consistent performance as a forward was instrumental in helping Australia navigate through the Group Stage and into the Final.
