JAKARTA - The inaugural match of Group F of the 2025 U-20 Asian Cup Qualification will bring together Indonesia U-20 vs Maldives U-20.

The U-20 Indonesian national team under the tutelage of Indra Sjafri will start the struggle to win tickets to tickets to the 2025 U-20 Asian Cup finals against the Maldives.

Good capital such as the composition of a qualified squad and careful preparation through a long-term training camp (TC) could increase Dony Tri Pamungkas' confidence and colleagues.

The inaugural match against the Maldives will be played by the U-20 Indonesian national team at the Madya Stadium, Senayan at 19.30 WIB.

As the opening match, the meeting with the Maldives clearly cannot be underestimated. Even though on paper the South Asian representative team was not seeded, for Indra Sjafri the opponent's strength was clearly not underestimated.

"We think that all the teams present here (Group F) will respond well and never differentiate between these three teams, which is better and which is lacking. All the teams present here are good, especially since this is an AFC Qualification," said Indra Sjafri during a press conference before the match.

Meanwhile, Maldives coach Ahmed Shakir explained that his team had been prepared to undergo the 2025 U-20 Asian Cup Qualification match since the middle of this year. However, there are obstacles that make the line-up change.

"We started preparations from early July 2024, we also participated in several tournaments in preparation. Some of my players are still students, so they have to go to school and I was forced to replace some of my players. It was a tough challenge for me, but I am happy with the preparation of our team," he said.
