U23 or U22?

[edit]

@RedPatch: I don't necessarily disagree, but this requires a bit more discussion IMO. In Asia, countries officially have three youth categories: U17, U20, U23. The U22 and U23 are the same, with the same coaches etc. It could be a good idea to discuss about whether players in Asian NTs should only be limited to having U17, U20 and U23 displayed, or if they can also have U22, or U15 displayed.

I would say it should be U22 because that's what sources do. In North America, it's the same three official teams (U17/U20/U23), but occasionally they will play other matches (U18/U19/U21) and it's one of the coaches of the three main teams with a restricted squad. What I've seen done on Wikipedia is it just gets linked to the main team with the link tool [ [U23|U22] ]. Given that's what the reliable sources say (U22), I feel like that's what the article should say. Those matches weren't official caps anyways since they were exhibitions with club teams, so it's not going in the infobox anyways. RedPatch (talk) 01:22, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This would probably be a good discussion to have on the Footy thread though, since it won't really get any visibility here to get more perspectives. RedPatch (talk) 01:23, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Wasn't it only those unofficial friendlies against club teams (prose section only) that were U22? The ones vs Bahrain (the infobox ones) were U23 per the sources. RedPatch (talk) 16:39, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@RedPatch: According to Global Sports Archive, the games were U22 (page), not U23 (page). I have the official match reports, which note the teams as "U22". Nehme1499 17:08, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh makes sense. Can you add one of those in the article? Right now the attached source says U23, so could result in someone changing it based on what's there. RedPatch (talk) 18:12, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Nehme1499 01:01, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
