JAKARTA - PSSI General Chair Mochamad Iriawan let the Indonesian women's national team go to India to take part in the 2022 Women's Asian Cup. Iriawan is optimistic that Garuda Pertiwi will get maximum results in the event.
The 2022 Women's Asian Cup will take place from 20 January to 6 February 2022. A total of 12 countries will compete for the trophy.
"I am quite optimistic to see some of their friendly matches with male and female players. Just wish them the best. Their enthusiasm is extraordinary," said Iriawan at the Kimaya Hotel, Jakarta, Sunday, January 16.
In the competition, Indonesia joined in Group B. Together in this group are Australia, the Philippines, and Thailand.
Seeing the residents of this group, Indonesia had to fight tooth and nail to get away from the group stage. However, Iriawan hopes that the best results can be obtained by the Garuda Pertiwi squad.
"The best target is because we know strong teams. We will see progress. The coach (Indonesian women's national team) just gives his best. We want to be able to qualify. Nothing is impossible," said the man who is familiarly called Iwan Bule.
The Indonesian women's national team left Jakarta tonight via Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. They will transit in Doha, Qatar, before continuing their journey to Mumbai, India.
Indonesia will face Australia in the inaugural match. The match is scheduled to take place on Friday, January 21.
