JAKARTA - The U-23 Indonesian national team will certainly receive a bonus when they manage to secure the 2025 AFF U-23 Cup title. This was conveyed by Ahmed Zaki Iskandar as the U-23 Indonesian National Team Manager.
The U-23 Indonesian national team is scheduled to play the 2025 AFF U-23 Cup final match against Vietnam U-23 at Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium, Jakarta, on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, at 20.00 WIB.
"There must be appreciation from the federation, from PSSI. That's for sure. The targets have been launched from the start," said Ahmed Zaki in a statement in Jakarta quoted on Tuesday, July 29, 2025.
Even though he has confirmed the bonus from the federation, Ahmed has not been able to provide a clear answer about the bonuses that the government will distribute if the U-23 Indonesian national team wins.

"We will ask the government later, Mr. Menpora (Dito Ariotedjo)," he said.
The final has been tested by the U-23 Indonesian national team for the third time since 2019, which ended in the champions in Cambodia. At that time, Garuda Muda, which was managed by Indra Sjafri, lifted the trophy after beating Thailand U-23 with a score of 2-1.
The second Indonesian U-23 final occurred in 2023 in Thailand. At that time, the team coached by Shin Tae-yong had to admit Vietnam's superiority after losing on penalties 5-6.
If they win, Garuda Muda will match Vietnam's achievement in winning the AFF U-23 Cup twice since it was first held in 2005.
