Potential To Play Eyes Vietnam Vs Malaysia At The 2025 High SEA Games, PSSI Responds: Ask For Prayer

The U-23 Indonesian national team is asked to focus on the face-to-face match against Myanmar rather than think about Vietnam vs Malaysia at the 2025 SEA Games (doc. Indonesian national team).

JAKARTA - PSSI through the Deputy General Chair (Waketum), Ratu Tisha Destria, responded casually to the potential for flirting between Vietnam and Malaysia at the 2025 SEA Games.

The match between Vietnam and Malaysia will determine the steps of the U-23 Indonesian national team at the 2025 SEA Games. If the match at the Rajamangala Stadium, Bangkok, on Thursday, December 11, 2025, ends in a draw, then Garuda Muda's hopes of falling to the knockout phase will immediately disappear.

Speculation has developed that Vietnam and Malaysia could turn a blind eye to finish the match with a draw to get rid of Indonesia U-23.

Regarding the situation, Ratu Tisha said that PSSI only focused on things that could be controlled rather than thinking about the possibility outside. In addition, the most important thing, according to her, is asking for prayers so that the U-23 Indonesian national team can reap the best results.

"We (PSSI) are the perpetrators, yes, not fans. So, what we need to do is like evaluation, improve, yes, we do, we face and win, that's all. So, we ask for prayers," said Ratu Thasha in Jakarta on Wednesday, December 10, 2025.

Instead of thinking about external factors, Tisha emphasized more that it is currently important to focus on support and preparation for the U-23 Indonesian national team. You see, there is still one match against Myanmar that must be undertaken on Friday, December 12, 2025.

"From Mr. Erick (Thohir) his support is extraordinary. Coordination at PSSI is very maximal. Shortages must exist, but we face games after matches."

"Tomorrow (Friday) we will have a match (against Myanmar). We will face it optimally first. There is no other word than concentration, evaluation from those who have, then focus on winning tomorrow's match," said Thasha.

In this case, PSSI thinks positively. Vietnam and Malaysia are believed to appear with their best potential. Therefore, the U-23 Indonesian national team is asked to focus on themselves.

Ratu Tisha also advised the public to continue to provide prayers and support for Indonesia U-23. In addition, he requested that the Indonesian public not be provoked by wild issues that cannot be accounted for.
