AFF Women's U-16 Cup Schedule 2025: Indonesia Wants To Make History To The First Final

JAKARTA - The U-16 Indonesian Women's National Team managed to qualify for the semifinals of the 2025 U-16 Women's Championship AFF Cup (ASEAN U-16 Women's Championship). The Garuda Pertiwi Muda squad will face a strong opponent from Australia U-16.

The Indonesian U-16 Women's National Team qualified for the semifinals after defeating Malaysia U-16 with a score of 3-1. Thanks to this victory, Timo Scheunemann's team secured the status of winners of Group A.

They packed the perfect points, six points, from two matches. Before beating Malaysia U-16, the Indonesian Women's National Team defeated Timor Leste U-16 with a landslide score of 6-0.

While in the opposing camp, Australia qualified for the semifinals with the status of Group C winners. They confirmed the last four tickets after beating Thailand U-16 and Singapore U-16.

The struggle of the U-16 Indonesian Women's National Team will not be easy because it will face a strong team. It was proven when Australia beat Thailand, which included the team, was taken into account.

However, Garuda Pertiwi was not afraid. Timo firmly said his team would fight with enthusiasm because anything could happen in this match.

The team's condition is also very good because the gap in the semifinal match with the last match of the group stage lasts for three days. While Australia has more rest time, four days.

In addition to appearing at home, the U-16 Women's National Team is also motivated to make more history in this tournament.

In the previous three participations, Garuda Pertiwi had never passed the group stage (2009, 2017, and 2018). Meanwhile, in the 2019 edition, the Indonesian Women's National Team did not take part.

This means that the journey to the semifinals in the 2025 edition has become a separate history. However, they do not want to stop in the top four.

Timo Scheunemann's troops want to enter the inaugural top of the U-16 Women's AFF Cup. In fact, they are also eyeing the first title.

So far, Thailand has been the most successful team with three titles in three recent editions. Australia obtained one remaining trophy in the first edition of 2009.
