The under-19s will travel to Hungary and Slovakia for a pair of international friendlies. The match with Hungary will take place on Wednesday, 31 August with a 3pm kick-off time at the Lipot Football Centrum, while Slovakia will play hosts at the MOL Academy, Dunajska Streda. That game has a 4pm kick-off time on Saturday, 3 September.

These matches represent the chance for Hamill to put the players through their paces prior to the start of the 2022/23 UEFA European Women's Under-19 Championship season. Scotland have been drawn in a group with Finland, Spain and Switzerland.
