T&T's Un­der-15 women will kick off their Ju­nior Olympic Games cam­paign against Chile when the tour­na­ment be­gins on Au­gust 12 in Sin­ga­pore. This was de­ter­mined at the draw for the event which took place on Tues­day at the Sin­ga­pore PSA Build­ing Au­di­to­ri­um and was at­tend­ed by U-15 Women's team coach Mar­lon Charles. The U-17 women will al­so meet Chile in their first match of the Fi­fa U-17 Women's World Cup, which will be held in T&T from Sep­tem­ber 5-25.

T&T was drawn in group 'B' which al­so in­cludes Equa­to­r­i­al Guinea, while in the oth­er group of three teams, Asian rep­re­sen­ta­tive, Iran will lock horns with Turkey and Papua New Guinea in Group A. The Ira­ni­ans will take on Turkey in the cur­tain-rais­er, while T&T kick off Group B against Chile, in an at­tempt to make a name for them­selves on the in­ter­na­tion­al stage. Tech­ni­cal di­rec­tor of women's foot­ball in T&T, Even Pellerud said the tour­na­ment would serve as a good en­try to in­ter­na­tion­al com­pe­ti­tion for the�young U-15 play­ers.

"It's a won­der­ful op­por­tu­ni­ty for our girls to get that ear­ly ex­po­sure at the in­ter­na­tion­al lev­el," said the Nor­we­gian. "For a lot of them this will be their first in­ter­na­tion­al game away from home and while the in­ten­tion would be to get pos­i­tive re­sults, there are sev­er­al oth­er as­pects which should serve to au­gur well for the fu­ture of these play­ers," said Pellerud. The ju­nior com­pe­ti­tion, which will run from Au­gust 12-25 at Sin­ga­pore's Jalan Be­sar Sta­di­um, will in­volve play­ers born in 1995 and con­sist of two six-team tour­na­ments for both boys and girls. The six sides in each tour­na­ment are di­vid­ed in­to two groups, with the top two fin­ish­ers from each ad­vanc­ing to the se­mi-fi­nals.

Ten of the teams in­volved were nom­i­nat­ed by their con­fed­er­a­tion while the UE­FA duo qual­i­fied through a mi­ni-tour­na­ment. The 2010 Sum­mer Youth Olympics is the first Sum­mer Youth Olympic Games. The du­ra­tion of the Sum­mer Youth Olympics is 13 days from Au­gust 14-26 in 2010.
