Indonesian U-19 National Team Undergoes Training Camp In South Korea Starting In March

JAKARTA – The U-19 Indonesian national team will undergo a training camp in South Korea. This is in preparation for the U-20 World Cup next year in Indonesia.

The Garuda Muda squad will depart for South Korea on 7 March. Before leaving, the team made by Shin Tae-yong will gather and undergo a training camp in Jakarta from March 1-6.

"This training camp is just the beginning. There will be more later and we don't know where. Because these players are not the ones projected at the U-20 World Cup in 2021," said PSSI Secretary General Yunus Nusi, quoted from the federation's official website.

PSSI will call as many as 39 players. However, not all players who were called to attend the training camp in Jakarta will fly to South Korea.

Yunus said that while in the Ginseng Country, the players would do sparring in two cities. The first is in Gyeongsangbuk-do on March 13-24, while the second is in Daegu on April 24-10.

"In addition to conducting training camps, there will also be trials with local teams. It is even possible to fight South Korea's U-20," he said.

In November last year the Indonesian U-19 national team had attended a training camp in Turkey.

There they managed to win several test matches. Among them beat Antalyaspor U-18 with a score of 3-1, Alanyaspor U-18 with a score of 4-0, and a narrow 2-1 win over Mamakato FC Gambia U-18.
