U23 teams?

I note all the "academy" teams are listed as U23s, but I believe (per [1]) this year the invited teams are to be U21s. This is supported by the rules stated in the article. Cheers, Gricehead (talk) 10:56, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The teams invited to play all have limitations on players over the age of 21. However, the teams themselves all converted to being U-23 teams a few years back with the re-organisation of top-level youth football and are officially designated as U-23 teams.
