"It's a great experience for the players," noted Nick Dasovic, head coach of the Development Squad. "They get to understand the pace of the game, the athleticism. But also the intelligence part, how quickly they have to think. For me, it's a great process."

First up will be a match against the U-23 team of English Premier League club AFC Bournemouth on Tuesday, March 26.
