JAKARTA - The Indonesian U-19 national team will undergo a training camp (TC) in South Korea in August 2020. This was revealed by the Chairman of PSSI Mochamad Iriawan.

"PSSI will continue to support Shin Tae-yong's trainer training program for the Indonesian national team including undergoing TC in South Korea starting next August after TC in Jakarta," said Iriawan, quoted from Antara, Thursday.

This TC in South Korea is a direct request from Shin Tae-yong.

On Tuesday, Mochamad Iriawan discussed the U-19 national team TC at the South Korean Embassy in Ginseng Country.

The embassy welcomed the plan and stated that it was ready to assist the national team's activities from departing from Indonesia to arriving at their destination. That support includes the implementation of the COVID-19 preventive health protocol in South Korea.

Before flying to South Korea, the U-19 national team will take part in TC in Jakarta on 23 July-8 August 2020. This activity will be led directly by Shin, who is already in Jakarta on Wednesday night.

There were 46 players who were summoned by Shin Tae-yong for the training camp.

The Indonesian U-19 national team will compete in the 2020 U-19 Asian Cup which will take place in Uzbekistan on 14-31 October 2020.

This squad is projected to become the U-20 national team that will compete in the U-20 World Cup in 2021.
