JAKARTA - The U-17 Indonesian national team coach, Nova Arianto, has scheduled three international test matches in preparation for the team to appear at the 2025 U-17 World Cup.

The 2025 U-17 World Cup agenda will take place in Qatar on 3-27 November 2025. Before appearing in Qatar, Nova Arianto had made a schedule for his team to first go to Dubai on 17 October 2025 to carry out three test agendas.

"First (trial) against Paraguay (October 25), then South Africa (October 27), and finally Panama (October 29)," said Nova Arianto about the trial agenda before leading the training at the Madya Stadium, Jakarta, on Wednesday, October 15, 2025.

After the trial agenda, the U-17 Indonesian national team players immediately left for Qatar in early November 2025.

For the 2025 U-17 World Cup, Nova brought 26 players including three goalkeepers to attend the training camp where it would later be narrowed to 21 names.

"We will announce the final squad after a trial in Dubai. From there, we will select 21 players who are brought to the 2025 U-17 World Cup."

"The 2025 U-17 World Cup is the final goal of the U-17 Indonesian national team. After this they will advance to class," said Nova.

Young Garuda is in Group H with Brazil, Honduras, and Zambia which are debutants. Nova hopes that his foster children will be able to appear brave against world giants.

"Hopefully the players will have a strong mentality and can perform optimally in the 2025 U-17 World Cup later," said Nova Arianto.
