JAKARTA - The U-17 Indonesian national team coach, Nova Arianto, asked his players to perform optimally at the 2025 U-17 World Cup in Qatar. This cannot be separated from the presence of talent scouting when the grand performance was held.
Nova said that the presence of these talent seekers could open the way for his players to widen careers in the international world.
Therefore, he urged the players to perform as well as possible.
"This (U-17 World Cup) is their chance, if we want to be or play at the European level, yes, they have to perform well here."
"Once again, many talent scouting have come to this World Cup event. I hope that in the future there will be several players in the U-17 Indonesian national team who can play abroad."
"I hope they can have a career outside because in progress, in an increase in achievement, they can do better," Nova Arianto said during an online press conference before the match on Sunday, November 2, 2025.

The presence of talent seekers itself has a lot of effect in the birth of the world's great players. A number of famous names were even found with talent when playing in the U-17 World Cup.
Call it Takefusa Kubo, Mario Goetze, and Neymar. In the last edition, namely the 2023 U-17 World Cup which took place in Indonesia, there were names such as Claudio Echeverri (Manchester City) and Paris Brunner (US Monaco).
Despite reminding that this event is a stepping stone to being able to pave the way for a brilliant career, the coach also emphasized that the most important thing is that his players can perform comfortably.
"I ask the players to stay happy, the players will still enjoy what they will do at the U-17 World Cup. You see, it will be a good experience for them so that in the future they can go through the process."
"I prefer these players (perpetrators) to be able to play in the senior Indonesian national team rather than just be successful in an event," said the coach.
