The Lake Heights 23-year-old has kept nine clean sheets for the Wolves this season and has also kept faith that a spot in-goal for the Olyroos is there for his taking.

Pasfield is in a 33-man Australian under 23 squad for training camps on the Central Coast and in Darwin over the next two weeks, before coach Graham Arnold names the 18-man Beijing squad in early July.

After five days in Gosford, the squad moves to Darwin for two friendlies against the Chilean under 23s next Friday and Sunday.

Pasfield said the latest twist in the Danny Vukovic saga had helped his own Olympic cause.

FIFA last week overruled an FFA decision to split Vukovic's ban for striking referee Mark Shield during this year's A-League grand final.

The tailor-made ban was to allow the Central Coast Mariners stopper - who starred during the Olyroos' qualifying campaign - to play in Beijing.

Central Coast will appeal to FIFA on Vukovic's behalf.

"It's unfortunate for him - he's a great guy and a great goalkeeper," Pasfield said.

"I'm not really worried about the other guys competing for a spot, I'm just worried about myself.

"It is a great chance to show Arnie and the selectors that I can play at that level."

Other keepers include Perth's Tando Velaphi, Melbourne's Mitchell Langerak and Irish-based Chris O'Connor.

Bulli junior Ruben Zadkovic - now with English Championship club Derby County - is also in the squad.

Under FIFA rules, three players over 23 can be added to Olympic squads.

So, how does Justin Pasfield - Olympian, sound?

"I have goosebumps just thinking about it," he said.

"The Olympic Games are a one-time opportunity - it would be unbelievable. As a kid I wanted to play for my country ... playing at the Olympics has always been a massive goal of mine."

Pasfield was in the Australian under 23 squad for a March international against Mexico in California.
