Welcome to the Olyroos Podcast, where we take football fans inside camp in Japan to help you get to know our players that little bit better.
This episode features Dylan Pierias.
As a kid of Italian heritage growing up in West Melbourne, Dylan runs us through how he actually shifted his allegiance from AFL to soccer at the age of six after a certain world cup game that will live long in the memory of Aussie fans… you know the one…
While the outcome of that game isn't one we all remember favourably, it set Dylan off as a football fanatic, and a decade later he would become the first player born in 2000 to debut in the A-League.
At youth level, he enjoyed a top time with Melbourne City and won a Youth League alongside the likes of, Arzani, Genreau, Metcalfe and a few more members of the Olyroos squad.
He's had to ride all of the highs and lows of professional football, but over the last year he’s gone from strength to strength at Western United, striking up a formidable friendship with Italian magician Alessandro Diamanti.
His form with his hometown club this season was enough to earn a first call-up to the Australia U-23s set-up - just in time for Tokyo.
