The U-23 Indonesian National Team Will Continue TC In November, 28 Players Will Join

JAKARTA - Indra Sjafri as the coach of the U-23 Indonesian national team will again hold a training camp (TC) in preparation for appearing at the 2025 Thailand SEA Games in December. The second wave is planned to be held in November 2025 and is attended by 28 players.

The number of players included in the second TC plan clearly deviated from the first agenda containing 32 players. The decision was taken after Garuda Muda completed two test agendas against India U-23 on October 10 and 13, 2025.

"Not 32 players. In a short time, we want to focus. Therefore, we will coordinate which of these 32 players we will recruit, then new players, including those playing abroad, who roughly."

"However, a maximum of 28 players in the first week. We will gradually investigate it per week," said Indra Sjafri in a statement quoted Wednesday, October 15, 2025.

Later, in this second batch of TC, two test matches will also be scheduled to be like twice against India in the first phase of TC.

"Regarding the trial, PSSI is trying, we asked for two matches. However, the distance from TC on the first day with the first match there must be approximately 10 days."

"We just tried it because we wanted to really have some training sessions to fix what we wanted, what kind of game plan and game plan were translated into training session units," said the coach.

Meanwhile, asked what the evaluation was for the first stage of TC, Indra admitted that he still had problems in the front lines.

"We just fixed it in two attacking sessions. We will do more improvements to the data we have, we are trying to fix it."

"I think from the first match there were 15 shots, six on target, one goal. Tonight we have not received the statistics that need to be improved," he said.
