JAKARTA - Victor Dethan expressed his feelings after making his debut in the Indonesian national team. Despite failing to bring the squad to qualify for the 2024 AFF Cup semifinals, he admitted that he was grateful and proud to be part of the Garuda Squad.

On the way to the 2024 AFF Cup, the Indonesian national team reaped unsatisfactory results. Shin Tae-yong's team had to stop in the group stage after losing to the Philippines 0-1 in the last match of Group B.

The result of the match made the Garuda squad finish third by packing four points in the final standings. That position is not included in the requirements to qualify for the semifinals.

Even though he finally had to lift his suitcase, Dethan admitted that he was very proud because he was finally able to make his debut with the Indonesian national team. You see, this moment has been awaited by him.

"Debut Tim Nasional Indonesia. Thank you, Jesus. Proud and grateful for this opportunity to represent my country," Dethan wrote on his personal Instagram account quoted Friday, December 25, 2024.

Still in the same upload, this Canadian player also did not forget to apologize to all supporters for the failure of the Indonesian national team.

Dethan hopes that in the future the Garuda Squad can achieve even better results.

"To all supporters, thank you for supporting us throughout this tournament. I want to apologize if the results are not as expected. Hopefully in the future it can be even better," said Dethan.

During the Indonesian national team's 2024 AFF Cup, Dethan was always played by Shin Tae-yong in four Group B matches even though he never performed full.

Even so, his appearance was quite slick, so he drew attention.

Meanwhile, four teams managed to advance to the semifinals of the 2024 AFF Cup, namely Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, and the Philippines. Vietnam will face Singapore, while Thailand will face the Philippines.
