AFF U-17 Cup 2026 schedule: Indonesia vs Malaysia

JAKARTA - The 2026 AFF U-17 Cup group stage match continues with the Indonesian U-17 National Team vs Malaysia U-17.

Indonesia U-17 started their journey in the 2026 AFF U-17 Cup group stage smoothly. The team coached by Kurniawan Dwi Yulianto in Group A managed to beat Timor Leste U-17 with a score of 4-0.

The Garuda Muda team could actually win with more goals if the final finish could be better. Even so, victory in the first match is still crucial to move on to the next match.

After facing Timor Leste, Indonesia U-17 still has to fight with Malaysia. This match will take place at the Gelora Joko Samudro Stadium, Gresik, Thursday, April 16, 2026, at 19.30 WIB.

Ahead of facing Malaysia, the positive result from the match against Timor Leste is a pretty good capital. Moreover, Malaysia is considered as an opponent that should be wary of because it carries a mission to rise because it has just suffered a defeat.

Malaysia did not give up when they met Vietnam in the first match. The Malay Tigers were beaten with a score of 0-4 so that they now occupy the key position in Group A standings.

The victory is clearly a target for the Indonesian U-17 National Team when facing Malaysia. Additional three points will clear the way for Putu Ekayana and his friends to the semifinals of the 2026 AFF U-17 Cup.

Meanwhile, for Malaysia, there is no target other than to get points. If they lose again, they will definitely be eliminated immediately.
