JAKARTA The Indonesian U-17 National Team Coach Bima Sakti held a night training session as a form of readiness to face the 2023 U-17 World Cup.

This program is to adjust the schedule for the Garuda Muda match later.

Based on the schedule, the U-17 Indonesian national team underwent all Group A matches at night.

"We will do training at night because we adjust our match at the World Cup later which will be played at night," Bima said as quoted by the PSSI website.

The U-17 Indonesian national team previously underwent a training camp in Germany since last September. While there they underwent trials with seven different clubs.

Bima said, because it took a long time in Germany, his team had to adapt again to Indonesian weather which was quite hot.

"In Germany we are in a cold weather with 12, sometimes 10, even up to 6 degrees Celsius. Here we return to hot temperatures, so we have to adapt again," he said.

In addition, Bima also ensured that his current squad was not final.

The 47-year-old coach admitted that he would cross out several more names.

"Later there will be another reduction, because we still have a few days in Jakarta, when we move to Surabaya, we will have a reduction in players," he said.

Indonesia will travel in the World Cup against Ecuador on November 10.

After that they fought Panama and Morocco in a row.
