Fandi's sons included in Singapore training trip to Austria

15-year-old Ikhsan and 17-year-old Irfan are the surprise inclusions in the training trip, and also the youngest two members in the squad

Irfan and Ikhsan, the elder two of Fandi Ahmad's children have been selected for a 16-day training trip to Austria with the Singapore Under-23 team.

The Austria stint will include the senior team as well, and both sides will take on top European clubs including the Borussia Dortmund U-23s and Dinamo Moscow in friendly fixtures.

15-year-old Ikhsan and 17-year-old Irfan are the surprise inclusions in the training stint and also the youngest two members in the squad.

The duo are currently based in Chile where they are training with the youth academy of AC Banerchea.

Irfan had previously featured for the NFA Under-16 side at the Canon Lion City Cup in 2013, while Ikhsan represented the country at the 2013 Asian Youth Games in Nanjing, China.

The Singapore Under-23 team are preparing for the 2015 SEA Games to be held here next year. The side had initially planned for a spot in the Asian Games this year, but were excluded from the initial selection list by the Singapore National Olympic Council (SNOC).

The Young Lions will play, FC Pribram of Czech Republic and the Borussia Dortmund Under-23 team during their stay in Austria. A third friendly for July 20 will be confirmed on a later date.
