JAKARTA The U-17 Indonesian national team is one of 16 teams that officially ensure themselves qualify for the 2025 U-17 Asian Cup finals in Saudi Arabia.

Garuda Muda got a ticket with the status of one of the five best runners-up teams after playing a goalless draw against Australia U-17 in the last match of Group G on Sunday, October 27, 2024, WIB night.

The team of tactician Nova Arianto went through three matches in the qualifying group round with two wins and one draw.

The two victories were secured by Garuda Muda against the hosts Kuwait U-17 and the North Mariana Islands U-17.

These results made Indonesia U-17 total collecting seven points. The number of points is the same as that of Australia which locked the status of the group winner.

However, the result of the match against the North Mariana Islands was not calculated to win the best runner-up position.

This makes Indonesia U-17 legally only get four points in the best runners-up standings.

However, Garuda Muda is in third place in the best runners-up list.

Indonesia U-17 secured the best runner-up status with China U-17, Vietnam U-17, Iran U-17, and Oman U-17.

The first two names finished over Indonesia U-17, while the other two were below each other.

The five teams got tickets to the final round along with 10 other teams who won the group. The other tickets for the final round are the host of Saudi Arabia U-17.

The 2025 U-17 Asian Cup is the 20th edition with Japan U-17 with the status of defending champion. The event, which takes place once every two years, will be held in Saudi Arabia on April 3-20, 2025.
