Their youth teams start very young and are kept together for a long time...for example this u16 team have been playing for a very long time together at around six year, so criticisms about registering overaged players is doubtful. They have done well in many tournaments at youth level around the world from South Korea to playing at Brazil and at the Macau lusophone where they play against Portugese, Mozambican, Angolan and Brazilian national youth teams. I think it is this experience and time playing together for many years that have made them successful. I dont think the Singaporean youth team or other South East Asian teams have had this much exposure to international football at youth level. Maybe they should look into more international tournament involvement. However I do agree that there needs to be serious examination of the FFTL (Timorese Football Federation). There is no incentive for the senior teams to play and overseas based players are many times overlooked. There is no discipline and continual team management, and the senior side remain a very part time/casual team. They should learn from their youth teams I reckon.

FIFA/AFC needs to do something about this issue as many countries are getting away with registering 'overaged' players and this is very demoralising to the countries which respect and follow all the age restrictions. Where is th e'FAIR PLAY'?

FFTL is decreasing the motivation of the Timorese players. FFTL has very poor management and no transparancy and tendensy to coruption. it was not the problem of financial but management and honesty. so if Timor Leste want have good performance they should improve theit management and trancparancy....
