JAKARTA - Indonesia's U-17 World Cup 2023 will start on November 10. The U-17 Indonesian national team is in Group A with Ecuador, Panama, and Morocco.

Chairman of the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) Erick Thohir said Morocco was the strongest team that would be faced by Garuda Asia. The reason is, many Morocco players are from France.

According to Erick, French football is one of the places that FIFA recognizes and has many young talents, and is one of the countries that can produce the best young players in the world.

"From our intelligence, many Morocco players came from France, in the end it cannot be underestimated," Erick said in Jakarta, as reported by Antara.

Even so, Erick admitted that he was optimistic that the U-17 national team could perform well so that they could come out to win group A. Moreover, a number of national team players who are abroad are now back and are training.

"We certainly want (the national team) to win the group so that it is more profitable," said the man who is also the Minister of SOEs.

Erick added that his party also has a safer statistical formation with the number of players they have.

"The key will be to be disciplined in playing. That's the key, because I think the opponent is also not a light opponent. This is a world championship, not a Southeast Asian or ASEAN championship," said Erick.
