Two Aussie-based players create history as Eritrea return to the international stage with a win 🇪🇷🇦🇺

The last time the Eritrean men's national team had featured in an AFCON competitive match was 18 years ago. Today, Eritrea broke their absence with a win over Eswatini and two Australian-based players were both heavily involved 🔵🔴🟢

Western United U21 goalkeeper Yonathan Sultan and Preston Lions defender Jamal Ali both featured for Eritrea in their first-leg 2-0 2027 AFCON qualifying win over Eswatini.

In just under a week, Eritrea, with a two-goal advantage, will travel to Lobamba to take on Eswatini in the second leg of the tie.

𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗮𝘀, 𝗝𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗟𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗮𝘆!

South Melbourne FC is delighted to welcome James Lackay to the club ahead of the 2026 season.

A fast and direct winger, Lackay arrives from Melbourne Victory’s NPL squad, where he featured regularly at senior level in 2025 and consistently posed a strong attacking threat.

The 18-year-old has also gained valuable experience abroad, having been selected as part of the FC Bayern Munich World Squad, further adding to his development at a young age. We are looking forward to seeing James play a role across the 2026 campaign in Blue and White.

Football Director Peter Kokotis said:

“James is a young player with real upside. He has pace, confidence in one-v-one situations and has already shown he can perform at senior NPL level. His experience both locally and overseas makes him a great fit for where we are heading, and we are excited to see his growth at Lakeside Stadium.”

[Football Empowerment @FootballEmpower]

Once you’re past 20 yrs, salary cap combined with a preference for recycled & overseas signings over NPL talent shut doors fast. Late bloomers or those who miss right time/place lose out massively.

Gap in the system extremely difficult for NPL players to break into the ALeague

[Poletti (they/them) @ItsPoletti]

The perception of NPL players needs to change in this country. I think @AusChampionship did a good job at showing the talent level that is on display, but there's no reason Abdallah shouldn't be signed at an A-Leagues club (unless he doesn't want to, which would also be fair)

[Football Empowerment @FootballEmpower]

@joshparish_ Likewise at Western United scoring during his trial against Melbourne City and was still not offered anything 🤷🏾‍♂️
