JAKARTA - The Indonesian U-20 national team has adapted to the weather conditions at the training camp (TC) which took place at the Aspire Academy, Doha, Qatar.

This was conveyed by the striker of the Indonesian U-20 national team, Arkhan Kaka, who revealed that the weather in Qatar was very good and suitable for team training.

"The weather conditions here are also very good. It's a bit cold, but it's very suitable for us to practice here and hopefully in the future we will get better," said Arkhan Kaka as quoted by Antara from the official PSSI website, Tuesday.

Arkhan was also impressed by the facilities held by the U-20 Indonesian national team where they trained. While in Qatar, Garuda Muda practiced at the Aspire Academy Field.

"Fasilitas sangat bagus, sangat mendukung kita untuk TC di sini sangat baik, lapangan sangat bagus, rata dan spesial sekali. Ke depannya, semoga saya lebih baik dan bekerja keras, meningkatkan permainan saya dan menjadi lebih baik lagi," ungkap pemain yang berasal dari Persis Solo tersebut.

Arkhan assessed that this training camp was very useful because it developed team capabilities and added to the experience of the Garuda Nusantara squad.

"Very good, very good, we TC outside add experience and add learning to all of us, and hopefully later we will do more and hopefully it will be even better," said Arkhan Kaka.

Currently, the U-20 Indonesian national team is still focused on undergoing the physical strength training menu and post-flight conditions from Jakarta to Doha last Saturday.

"Today is training on physical strength and recovery in body condition and all players maximize exercise," said Arkhan.

The U-20 national team is planned to participate in a number of tournaments in 2024 such as the AFF U-19 Cup and the U-20 Asian Cup qualifiers. To be able to compete in the 2025 U-20 World Cup in Chile, Indonesia must qualify for the 2025 U-20 Asian Cup finals. After that, the Red and White must pass until the semifinals to get four automatic tickets to compete in the 2025 U-20 World Cup.
