Training session and opening game of tournament - 22 August

Let the games begin.

After the official team photographs and a light training session at the stadium the team returned to the hotel for recovery in the pool.




Nominated team members attended the press conference.



The opening ceremony began with the clouds looming and a tropical storm on the horizon.



For a reason no one could understand the national television were keen to speak with Tung Tran (S.A. Police) about the prospects of the Australian team. 



Ron Sinclair was selected as the 4th official for the opening game between Vietnam and Thailand - congratulations Ron.



The game was played in front of a large crowd with the fierce rivalry between these two teams on display.


The clouds opened and conditions were unplayable.  With a tight schedule of matches and minimal OH&S standards the game continued.


The Thailand team defeating Vietnam 1 - 0.
