JAKARTA - Indonesia U-23 entered a tough group at the 2024 U-23 Asian Cup which was held in Qatar, 15 April-3 May 2024.
Based on the draw, Garuda Muda joined in Group A with the hosts Qatar U-23, Australia U-23, and Jordan U-23.
Despite facing a tough team, PSSI General Chair Erick Thohir asked the players not to be afraid.
"The draw results are quite difficult, but Indonesia U-23 will certainly not be afraid to be ready for the opponent. There is enough time to prepare. Both for physical preparation, engineering, and tactics," said Erick Thohir.
"Coach Shin Tae-yong must work harder to form an Indonesia U-23 to be stronger, to be able to compete at the Asian level. Likewise with the players, they must work extra hard and have a strong will to continue to be better," said Erick Thohir on the PSSI website.
