VICTORIAN Premier League players Brian Bran and Jack Hingert will get the chance to press for selection for Australia's under-age soccer teams this week.
The two players were selected for a joint 31-player Olyroos-Young Socceroos training camp at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra running until Saturday.
Olyroos coach Aurelio Vidmar and Young Socceroos coach Jan Versleijen drew the majority of the squad from Australian-based sides, with only Hertha Berlin's Ante Drazina coming from overseas.
Bran, 20, from Oakleigh Cannons, is eligible for both squads while Hingert, from Dandenong Thunder, is available only for the Olyroos, as the Olympic tournament is for under-23 players.
The camp will be the first of a series of training camps as teams prepare for the 2012 London Olympic Games Asian qualifiers and FIFA under-20 World Cup in Colombia late in July.
The Olyroos will face Yemen in the second round of the Olympic qualifiers on June 19 and 23 with the venues to be confirmed.
Vidmar said he was eager to work with his players.
"It's great to get the players back together for the first time since September last year.
"This is the first of three vital camps for us to assess the status of all players and most importantly gauge their fitness levels since the conclusion of the Hyundai A-League season.
"We now know that we have a very challenging tie against Yemen in June and, based on the information that we have gathered about our opposition, we need to work on our own game plan accordingly."
