However, according to the Head of the National Team Agency (BTN), Sumardji, who was also present in the training session, the three of them participated in training with trial status.
"Today we started training for the 2025 SEA Games in full, followed by 30 plus three players. Three of them are from the Greek League, and two from the Philippines."
"Indeed, coach Indra did not call directly and I did not call directly, but there was indeed a desire for them to participate in the selection or try it, whether it was in accordance with the coach's wishes to be summoned."
"However, when the results of the trials of these three players do not match what we want, then we will not summon," said Sumardji who was present at the Madya Stadium, Senayan, on Tuesday, November 11, 2025.
On the same occasion, Sumardji revealed that he was ordered by the Chairman of PSSI, Erick Thohir, to oversee Garuda Muda's journey to the 2025 SEA Games as well as possible for a maintained achievement after the gold medal in the 2023 edition in Cambodia.
"The point is that we want achievements that are really expected by the Indonesian people," said Sumardji.
Before competing in the 2025 SEA Games, Indonesia U-23 will first play two international test matches against Mali U-23 on November 15 and November 18, 2025 at Pakansari Stadium, Bogor Regency.
