Ajax Cape Town's U19 team will embark on a European Tour later this month, to play in two major tournaments on the European youth football calendar.

The young Urban Warriors will take part in the U19 Terborg and the Copa Amsterdam tournaments, and will depart for Europe on Wednesday this week.

The club's PRO, Thabiso 'Shooz' Mekuto, revealed in a statement that they will send their youth teams to international tournaments annually.

"This is a real test for our players because these tournaments provide our technical staff with a clear indication of our progress. We are proud to be returning to Amsterdam to defend our Copa Amsterdam title."

"We will also be participating in the U19 Terborg tournament as a precursor to the Copa Amsterdam. The bulk of our 2014 Metropolitan Premier Cup squad will be travelling to Europe; the squad will also include a few youngsters who have played in our PSL team recently. Our preparations have gone very well and we are sure that our players will make Ajax Cape Town, Cape Town and South Africa proud," said Mekuto.

The squad selected for the trip consists of:

Brandon Petersen

Jody February

Eathon Swartz

Abbubaker Mobara (captain)

Rivaldo Coetzee

Yagan Sasman

Quien Paulse

Justin Jacobus

Olwethu Nguye
