JAKARTA - The U-20 Indonesian national team will resume the long agenda of undergoing training camp (TC) after returning from Uzbekistan. The plan is that this continued activity will be held in South Korea in preparation for the 2023 U-20 World Cup.

This news is as conveyed by the Director of Engineering (Dirtek) of PSSI, Indra Sjafri. Previously, the National Team TC was planned to take place in the Netherlands, but changed.

PSSI is now directing players to South Korea. Indra Sjafri said, this request was as expressed by the national team coach, Shin Tae-yong.

However, the decision still had to be reviewed through the Executive Committee meeting on Wednesday, March 8, evening.

"I just want to have a meeting tonight with coach Shin (Tae-yong). As for the initial road map (U-20 national team), this continues (continues) and there is TC," said Indra Sjafri in the Senayan area, Central Jakarta on Wednesday, March 8.

"Later, if I'm not mistaken (the TC location) will replace the Netherlands, which was originally Dutch, coach Shin wants to change it to Korea (South)," he continued.

Regarding the exact reason why Shin Tae-yong chose to hold the U-20 national team TC in South Korea, Indra Sjafri still could not provide specific reasons. However, if you look at previous experiences, the players are quite familiar with the Ginseng Country.

"Specifically, I don't know. But in Korea (South Korea) it is good for improving physical conditions and there has also been a month and the players are used to practicing there," said Indra Sjafri.

Regarding the follow-up TC after the 2023 Asian Cup agenda in Uzbekistan, Indra Sjafri said his party had communicated with the club. This is because the duration of player summons to the U-20 national team will be longer.

"When we had discussions with League 2 and League 1, I had two things: first as the U-22 coach for the formation of the SEA Games and as the PSSI Director of Technology for FIFA Matchday so that all players are released," he explained.
