Lineup Of Indonesian U-23 Players Vs Philippines: Mauro Zijlstra Starter

JAKARTA - The U-23 Indonesian national team will start the struggle at the 2025 SEA Games against the Philippines at the 700 Anniversary Stadium, Tokyo Mai, on Monday, December 8, 2025, at 18.00 WIB.

In this match, Indra Sjafri entrusted the crossbar under Cahya Supriadi's escort. Of the four test matches that have been passed by the Garuda Muda Squad, Cahya has always been the coach's trust.

In the defense, the composition has not changed from against Mali U-23. Two defenders are being installed by Indra Sjafri, namely Kadek Arel Priyatna and Dion Markx.

Meanwhile, the two full-backs occupied by Muhammad Ferari and Rizky Cahyana. This election was quite surprising because Indra usually chose full-backs Kakang Rudianto and Franky Missa.

Turning to the middle, Indra Sjafri put up a trio of Rivaldo Pakpahan, Ivar Jenner, and Rayhan Hannan. The last name was set to start to increase the breaking power.

Then the three front-line tridents chosen were Rafael Struick, Mauro Ziljlstra, and Doni Tri Pamungkas.

With this composition, Indra hopes to get the first point. He also wants his team to focus on it from the first minute because the Philippines has the quality to surprise.
