The fate of the U-23 Indonesian national team at the 2025 SEA Games is on the brink (doc. Indonesian national team).

JAKARTA - The U-23 Indonesian national team could experience unfortunate fate in the effort to hunt for gold in the men's soccer sport at the 2025 SEA Games. The Garuda Muda squad can be ascertained to be eliminated without having to play today, Thursday, December 11, 2025.

This situation occurred after the position of the U-23 Indonesian national team at the 2025 SEA Games was on the brink of losing 0-1 to the Philippines in the inaugural Group C match.

From that match, the Philippines immediately locked the place to the semifinals of the 2025 SEA Games with the status of winners of Group C. However, for Indonesia U-23, the journey is still long because there is still one match left against Myanmar on Friday, December 12, 2025.

Before facing Myanmar, the fate of the U-23 Indonesian national team could actually be determined on Thursday, December 11, 2025. Whether or not Indra Sjafri's team will qualify depends on the results of the Vietnam vs Malaysia match which will appear in Group B.

The Vietnam vs Malaysia match took place at the Rajamangala Stadium, today. If Vietnam vs Malaysia ends in a draw, then the U-23 Indonesian national team will certainly be eliminated. The reason is, the points of Vietnam and Malaysia are both four points if they play a draw.

Meanwhile, even though Indonesia U-23 won a landslide over Myanmar, the points were only three. That way, the best runners-up position will belong to Group B.

Indonesia U-23 still has a chance to qualify for the semifinals of the 2025 SEA Games if Vietnam and Malaysia beat each other.

The condition is that Indra Sjafri's team won with many goals over Myanmar in order to lead the goal difference with the runners-up in Group B and Group A.
