Development squad groups drawn
Thu 28 Jul 2016
The group-stage opponents for two competitions in which our development
squad will participate in this season have been confirmed.
Adi Viveash's side will take part in the Football League Trophy this
season for the first time after the club accepted an invitation from the
English Football League.
本季维维亚许将首次带队 (U21) 参加足球联盟杯。
Following a revamp of the competition, on a trial basis for the 2016/17
campaign, 16 Category One development teams will take part alongside the
48 League One and League Two clubs in an initial regionalised group stage.
该项赛事最近改制，16支第一级青训队将加入48支英甲、英乙球队大乱斗。
The draw for the group stage has placed the young Blues alongside the
senior sides of League One Swindon Town and Oxford United, as well as
League Two Exeter City in Southern Group C. Teams play each other once
either home or away before the top two progress to the knockout round.
小组赛将跟英甲史云顿、英甲牛津联、英乙埃克塞特城进行主客场双循环战。
We face Swindon Town at the County Ground in the week commencing 12
September before a trip to Exeter's St James's Park in the week commencing
17 October. The group concludes with a game against Oxford United in the
week commencing 7 November. Further fixture details will be announced on
this website in due course.
The final will be played at Wembley in April 2017. Development teams are
required to field a minimum of six 'Under-21' players in each starting
line-up.
决赛明年在温布里举行。本项赛事规定球队先发至少要有六个U21球员。
The young Blues will also participate in the Premier League International
Cup once again this season and the draw for the group stage has been made.
We will face Swansea City, Dinamo Zagreb and Feyenoord in Group D of the
expanded continental competition. Fixture details will be announced
shortly on this website.
另外本季依然参加英超国际杯，将和斯旺西城、萨格勒布迪纳摩、费耶诺德在D组。
Our youngsters reached the semi-finals of the competition last season
before they were beaten by PSV Eindhoven. Despite an increase in the
number of teams involved, the format remains unchanged; teams face each
other once, either at home or away. The group winners, plus the two best
placed runners-up, advance to the quarter-finals.
去年英超国际杯在四强战输给PSV。本届赛事球队变多，但赛制不变，小组赛头名加上
两个成绩最好的第二名晋级淘汰赛。
