JAKARTA - The Indonesian U-17 team has certainly failed to qualify for the 2023 U-17 Asian Cup finals. Ironically again, Indonesia's chances were dashed by another Southeast Asian team, Laos.

Laos' surprise victory over Kyrgyzstan brought them the final ticket. Laos occupies sixth place in the best runner-up standings in the 2023 U-17 Asian Cup Qualifiers.

Actually, that position is still occupied by Indonesia after a painful defeat of 1-5 from Malaysia. Indonesia recorded three points and a difference of minus 3 goals.

The question arises, why Indonesia only gets three points. Apparently, it was related to the distribution of the U-17 Asian Cup Qualification group, the number of participants was different.

Of the 10 existing groups, several groups are only filled with three or four teams. For this reason, the determination of the best runner-up points follows the situation in groups with at least a participant.

Only points from the two matches counted in the best runner-up standings. For Indonesia, what is calculated is the match against UAE and Malaysia.

The following is a list of teams that qualified for the 2023 U-17 Asian Cup finals:
