JAKARTA - The consistency of training and the love of students when playing football is a plus in the selection of young girls players in the third year of the MilkLife Soccer Challenge (MLSC) football event. Head Coach of MilkLife Soccer Challenge 2025-2026 Timo Scheunemann emphasized that in addition to the ability to process the ball, the participants are also required to be consistent in training because it is the main foundation in the process of character formation and improvement of ability. "Achievement is indeed important, but no less important is the consistency of the students in training. When their ability increases, they will be more happy to play football. From there, only the potential and talent can be excavated," said Timo. MilkLife Soccer Challenge has just completed the implementation in Kudus and Malang for Series II 2025-2026 at the weekend. All the best talents here will then have the opportunity to appear in the All-Stars at the end of June. Timo said that there is always an improvement chart in every implementation of the girls' football event initiated by the Bakti Olahraga Djarum Foundation and MilkLife. "Kudus is the first city of MLSC. The beginning of girls' football grew there and continued to be consistent. Meanwhile, Malang has only held MLSC twice, but the development has been seen well, from the number of players and the quality of players," he said.
The implementation of the MilkLife Soccer Challenge Kudus and Malang Series II 2025-2026 is part of a sustainable commitment to building an Indonesian women's soccer ecosystem from an early age. Program Director MilkLife Soccer Challenge Teddy Tjahjono said that the consistency of the implementation was an important key to producing qualified athletes in the future. "MilkLife Soccer Challenge is now entering its third year and is consistently showing consistent development. From here, the players get the opportunity to develop, add experience, and foster a competitive mentality from an early age," he said. The implementation of the MLSC Series II 2025-2026 in Kudus gave birth to MI NU Baitul Mukminin as the champion in the 10-year-old age group (KU) and SDN Jambean 02 Pati as the champion in the 12-year-old age group. MI NU Baitul climbed the highest podium after defeating MI NU Islamic Education, while Jambean 02 buried the dream of SDUT Bumi Kartini Jepara.
