Mali U-23 Coach Beware Of 3 Indonesian U-23 National Team Players

JAKARTA - The U-23 Indonesian national team will again undergo a test match against Mali U-23. Ahead of this second meeting with Garuda Muda, Fousseni Diawara as Mali coach assessed that there were three opposing players who should be watched out for.

The three players in question are Ivar Jenner, Doni Tri Pamungkas, and Rahmat Arjuna. The statement was revealed by Diawara based on the first match at Pakansari Stadium on Saturday, November 15, 2025, WIB night.

"I already know this team (Indonesia U-23). There are several good players, such as number five (Ivar Jenner), as well as two wingers (Doni Tri Pamungkas and Rahmat Arjuna) playing well," said Diawara at the team training session at the Madya Stadium, Senayan, on Monday, November 17, 2025.

In the inaugural match against Mali, Ivar Jenner performed well through interlinary movements and arranged. He is also tasked with cutting off the opponent's quick attack capablely.

Despite the difficulties at the beginning of the match, this FC Utrecht player is slowly but will definitely be able to collaborate with other Garuda Muda players.

Meanwhile, Doni was placed by Indra Sjafri as a winger or left winger who was not actually the original position because he was originally at the left back.

Doni's presence on the left makes Indonesia's U-23 attack line more lively. Finally, Rahmat was tasked with combing the right side.

The presence of the three players also has a great opportunity to be fielded by Indra Sjafri in the second match. Moreover, this match will be the last simulation before fighting for the 2025 SEA Games gold medal in Thailand.
