JAKARTA - PSSI General Chair, Mochamad Iriawan, released the U-18 national team to Turkey tonight. Iriawan called the departure of Garuda Muda to improve performance.

"Hopefully this will be an effort to improve their performance. We know they will leave (to Turkey) and will return on December 2", said Mochamad Iriawan during the release of the U-18 national team at the Sultan Hotel, Jakarta on Monday, November 15.

The U-18 national team followed the senior national team which was conducting a training camp with coach Shin Tae-yong. Not only that, but Garuda Muda will also undergo a solid agenda to improve the team's capabilities.

Arriving in Turkey later, Iriawan revealed that the U-18 national team would conduct a training camp and also several trials.

"They will join the senior national team only in different places, the same city", he said

“They will also try out several times. It has been confirmed twice, later added from certain countries that are indeed suitable, a friendly match test will be carried out with our children (U-18 national team)", explained Iriawan.

The solid agenda of the U-18 national team is a serious effort by the coach and PSSI to shape the character of the players. Because they are prepared to appear in the U-20 World Cup in 2023.
