JAKARTA - The coach of the Indonesian national team Shin Tae-yong said the Indonesian U-23 national team will undergo a training camp (TC) in preparation for the 2022 AFF U-23 Cup in Bali after facing Timor Leste in a friendly match, Sunday night.

"After the match against Timor Leste, the players will be released to their respective clubs. Then a maximum of February 3, 2022 players rejoin the national team until 8 February 2022," Shin said after the match was quoted from Antara, Monday.

Bali was chosen as the location for the TC because it is the location for the 2021-2022 Indonesian League 1 Series 4, 2021-2022.

The 2022 AFF U-23 Cup itself will take place in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, on 14-26 February 2022.

In that tournament, Indonesia was in Group B with Malaysia, Myanmar, and Laos.

Indonesia has the status of the defending champion of the U-23 AFF Cup after winning it in 2019, at which time the tournament competed with players with a maximum age of 22 years or U-22.

The Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) targets the "Garuda" squad to defend the title. That's what made Shin Tae-yong field the majority of the U-23 players when his team twice faced Timor Leste in Bali in a party entitled FIFA international friendly match.

Most recently, last Sunday, the Indonesian national team defeated Timor Leste with a 3-0 score at the Captain I Wayan Dipta Stadium, Gianyar, Bali, with goals contributed by Terens Puhiri, Ramai Rumakiek, and Ricky Kambuaya.

Previously, at a similar location on Thursday, January 27, Indonesia defeated Timor Leste with a score of 4-1. At that time, Indonesia's goals came from Ricky Kambuaya, Pratama Arhan's penalty, and the suicide of two East Timorese players, namely Georgino Da Silva and Filomeno Junior.
