JAKARTA - Indonesia U-19 will appear in the 2024 AFF U-19 Cup or AFF U-19 Championship on 17-29 July 2024 in Surabaya.
This tournament apparently was not coach Indra Sjafri's main goal. He emphasized that the 2024 AFF U-19 Cup was only an intermediate target to prepare for the 2024 U-20 Asian Cup Qualification in September 2024.
"I am using this tournament as an intermediate target to take part in the 2025 U-20 Asian Cup (Qualification) in September 2024," said Indra.
However, Indonesia U-19 does not want to appear half-hearted in the 2024 AFF U-19 Cup.
Garuda Muda still wants to perform optimally. Nearby, they must be able to get through Group A which consists of the Philippines, Cambodia and Timor Leste.
"All the teams participating in Group A are good. There are a lot of changes, coaching in each country. So, we will not underestimate our opponents."
"We don't comment too much on our opponents. We focus on our own team. Of course we want to win," said Indra Sjafri.
Indonesia U-19 will start their journey in Group A of the 2024 AFF U-19 Cup on July 17 2024 by facing the Philippines at the Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium in Surabaya.
Garuda Muda is then scheduled to meet Cambodia (20 July 2024) and Timor Leste (23 July 2024).
Indra Sjafri's troops have a target of repeating the 2013 edition, namely becoming champions of the AFF U-19 Cup.
