Australia in soccer tour

JAKARTA (JP): South Australia will arrive with its seven
national soccer players during its tour of four Indonesian
cities, where they will play international friendly matches,
starting from June 25 in Surabaya, East Java.

The friendlies, held in conjunction with Australia Today'94
program, will see Alex Tobin, Milan Ivanovich, Stan Lazaridis,
Tony Vidmar, Robbie Hooker and Greg Brown making up the crew for
the Australian All-Stars national squad. They will be facing
local challenges in the form of Surabaya All-Stars, PSIS
Semarang, Persib Bandung and PSSI Selection, a blend of veterans
and second string players who have joined the semi-professional
league.

Australia was rated as a world, soccer powerhouse when it
reached the final four round in the Barcelona Olympics and was an
inch from ending Argentina's World Cup campaign last year. South
Australia won the continent's soccer championship twice in the
past three years. (amd)
