Canceled In SUGBK, Indonesia U-20 Match In U-20 Asian Cup Qualification Moves To Intermediate Stadium

JAKARTA - The Agenda for the 2025 U-20 Asian Cup Qualification which will be attended by the U-20 Indonesian national team will be canceled at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK). Instead, the match will be moved to the Madya Stadium, Senayan.

The change in the venue for the match was quite clear. The reason is, the Bung Karno Gelora Complex Management Center (PPKGBK) will continue major maintenance at SUGBK.

In fact, the 2025 U-20 Asian Cup Qualification match is scheduled to take place in SUGBK. However, based on letter number B-55/PPKGBK/Dir.PPU/09/2024, all Group F matches of the 2025 U-20 Asian Cup Qualification were canceled at SUGBK.

"We inform you that the main field of the GBK Main Stadium will undergo a major maintenance continuation in preparation for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers for the Asian Zone which will take place in November 2024," said the contents of the letter sent to PSSI, quoted on Friday, September 20, 2024.

The SUGBK manager hopes that the maintenance process will produce good grass according to standards.

"We ask for PSSI's support so that this maintenance can run smoothly, as well as activities that are planned to be held at SUGBK during this period can be transferred to the Madya Senayan Stadium," continued the statement of the letter.

The U-20 2025 Asian Cup Qualification Match will be held on September 25, 2024, which brings together the U-20 versus Maldives Indonesian national team. After that, Garuda Nusantara will host Timor Leste and Yemen on September 27 and September 29, 2024.
