U-19 National Team Appears In Toulon Cup 2022, Here's Garuda Muda's Appearance Schedule
JAKARTA - The U-19 Indonesian national team will show off at the 2022 Toulon Cup which will be held in France from 29 May-12 June 2022. The following is the schedule for Garuda Muda in the 2022 Toulon Cup.
The U-19 Indonesian national team is in Group B with Ghana, Mexico and Venezuela. These countries will be Garuda Muda's opponents in the group phase to qualify for the next round.
The struggle of the Indonesian U-19 national team in this tournament will begin on Monday, May 30 against the Venezuelan U-23 national team. After that, Ronaldo Joybera et al had a two-day break before challenging Ghana on June 2 and Mexico on June 5.
This tournament involved 12 participants consisting of three groups. Later, each group winner and one runner-up will automatically qualify for the semifinals.
In 2017, the Indonesian national team also participated in this tournament. However, at that time, Garuda Muda failed to qualify from the group phase. However, the achievement was still achieved by the national team through the appearance of Egy Maulana Vikri through the 'Breakthrough Player' award.
For this year's edition, although the U-19 national team is also under the tutelage of coach Shin Tae-yong, the South Korean tactician will certainly be absent from accompanying Garuda Muda. The reason is, Shin Tae-yong has to escort the Indonesian national team to face Bangladesh on FIFA Match Day and the 2023 Asian Cup Qualification series in Kuwait in June.
On the other hand, the opportunity for the U-19 national team to appear in the 2022 Toulon Cup could be a series of preparations for the Young Garuda Squad towards the U-20 World Cup next year. On that occasion, Indonesia has been appointed as the host.
The following is the schedule for the Indonesian U-19 national team in the 2022 Toulon Cup:
Monday 30 May
Indonesia U-19 National Team vs Venezuela U-23 National Team / 18.30 WIB
Thursday June 2
Indonesia U-19 National Team vs Ghana U-20 National Team / 18.30 WIB
Sunday 5 June:
Indonesia U-19 National Team vs Mexico U-20 National Team / 22.00 WIB.
