JAKARTA - The U-23 Indonesian national team will undergo a trial match in a series of training camps (TC) in Dubai. Saudi Arabia became the first opponent in a test match in preparation for appearing in the 2024 U-23 Asian Cup.

The U-23 Indonesian national team has been in Dubai to undergo TC since April 1, 2024. Not only training, Shin Tae-yong's team is also scheduled to do match training.

The first match of Garuda Muda will be held twice before Rizky Ridho and his friends appear in the group stage of the 2024 U-23 Asian Cup next week.

The first opponent in the U-23 Indonesian national team test match is Saudi Arabia. This match will take place behind closed doors in Dubai on Friday, April 5, 2024 at 22.00 local time or Saturday, April 6, 2024, at 01.00 WIB.

In addition to the match against Saudi Arabia, the U-23 Indonesian national team is also planned to undergo another test match on Monday, April 8, 2024, against the United Arab Emirates.

These two test agendas are quite important steps for Garuda Muda to measure the results of the training camp before appearing in the 2024 U-23 Asian Cup.

Before completing the 2024 U-23 Asian Cup, Shin Tae-yong had summoned 28 players for the training camp. However, the squad is incomplete because there are several names that must follow, especially abroad players.

Of the 28 names, the majority came from League 1 clubs. While the other six players are players who play abroad, such as Ivar Jenner, Rafael Struick, Nathan Tjoe-A-On, Marselino Ferdinand, Pratama Arhan, and Justin Hubner.

In the 2024 U-23 Asian Cup, the U-23 Indonesian national team joined in Group A with Qatar, Australia, and Jordan. They got a high target, namely breaking through the semifinals for tickets to the 2024 Paris Olympics.
