JAKARTA - The U-23 Indonesian national team will continue their struggle for the 2025 AFF U-23 Cup semifinals by facing Thailand U-23 at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium, Friday, July 25, 2025.

In this important match, Gerald Vanenburg as the coach of Indonesia U-23 still maintains a 4-3-3 formation. Reflecting on the previous match, this choice was deemed appropriate in helping Garuda Muda, who continued to reap perfect records.

In the formation, Vanenburg placed M. Ardiansyah under the crossbar. His performance proved good when guarding Indonesia won over Brunei Darussalam U-23 and the Philippines U-23.

Shifting to the defender position, there is Frengky Misa who will work with Kakang Rudianto, Kadek Arel, and Dony Tri Pamungkas.

The four defenders were installed as mainstay walls for the U-23 Indonesian national team so that Ardiansyah's goal was not easily broken into by Thailand.

In midfield, Vanenburg still relies on Robi Darwis who will be accompanied by Dominikus Dion and Rayhan Hannan.

The last two names are included in the scheme to replace the positions of Toni Firmansyah and Arkhan Fikri. Toni had to be absent due to injury and Arkhan was not played as a starter after suffering an injury.

For the front line, Vanenburg relied on Jens Raven as Thai defender. Raven will be accompanied by Achmad Maulana Syarif and Rahmat Arjuna.
