JAKARTA - The U-23 Indonesian national team coach, Shin Tae-yong, called 27 players to face the 2024 U-23 Asian Cup Qualification. The high target was targeted by the man from South Korea.

Shin Tae-yong has great confidence that his team can qualify for the U-23 Asian Cup in Qatar. This belief is based on the potential of Garuda Muda players.

Moreover, the U-23 national team will appear at home. As is known, the U-23 Group K Asian Cup Qualification will be held in Solo, Central Java.

The U-23 Indonesian national team joined Taiwan and Turkmenistan.

"In theory, Indonesia's opportunity to qualify for Qatar (U-23 2024 Asian Cup) is very large. Moreover, we play at home", he said, quoted from PSSI's official website, Tuesday, August 29.

"Let's work hard to make that happen," continued the coach.

To qualify for the main round of the 2024 U-23 Asian Cup, the U-23 Indonesian national team must finish as group winners or at least win the best runner-up status.

Shin Tae-yong's desire for the Red and White team to be able to talk a lot in the Asian Cup is getting bigger because this event can be the way to the 2024 Olympics. The three best teams in the U-23 Asian Cup have the right to qualify for the prestigious multi-event sporting event.

With this big target, Shin Tae-yong appointed the best players from within the country and abroad to fill the U-23 national team squad. Abroad players such as Pratama Arhan (Tokyo Verdy), Rafael William Struick (Ado Den Hague), Elkan William Tio Baggott (Ipswich Town), Marselino Ferdinand (KMSK Deinze), and Ivar Jenner (FC Utrecht) were summoned.

Please note, the U-23 Asian Cup Qualification round will take place on September 4-12 in Solo, Central Java, Indonesia. The first match on September 9 will be passed against Taiwan and three days later face Turkmenistan.
