Indonesia's U-22: Gold defenders ready for the 2025 SEA Games!
Indonesia's U22 national team is preparing for the 2025 SEA Games in Thailand to defend its gold title.
Indonesia's U-22: Gold defenders ready for the 2025 SEA Games!
The anticipation and expectations are already gathering in Indonesian football as the U-22 national team faces an exciting challenge. The SEA Games 2025 will take place in Thailand from December 3rd to 18th, and the Indonesian kickers will be looking to defend their title as reigning gold medalists.
With a strong squad and an experienced coach at the helm, Indonesia U-22 is preparing intensively for the tournament. Indra Sjafri, who leads the team, has already organized a training camp in Jakarta in which 32 players have been selected. These talents have the potential to carry Indonesia's hopes of winning the title again. Some of them, like Hokky Caraka and Rafael Struick, even bring experience from the senior national team.
Group structure of the SEA Games 2025
The draw placed Indonesia in Group C, which includes Myanmar, the Philippines and Singapore. The division has kept Indonesia away from supposedly stronger opponents such as Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia. This could increase the chances of reaching the knockout round.
In order to book their ticket to the decisive phase of the tournament, they will have to establish themselves as one of the best group winners - and that will not be an easy task. Only the three group leaders and the best runner-up qualify for the semi-finals, meaning that each of the group games in December will be crucial.
Preparation and test matches
The preparations are already in full swing. In the last few weeks, the U-22 team played two test matches against India, which did not bring the desired result. A draw and a loss gave the coaches and players plenty of room for improvement. But with the necessary effort and the right attitude, the team is well prepared for the challenges ahead.
Indonesia enters as defending champions after beating Thailand in the final at the last SEA Games in Cambodia. The goal is clear for the coach and his team: to defend the title in Thailand. The talents in the team should help pave the exciting path to renewed fame.
Insights into the team, which not only includes local players but also talents who have gained international experience, show that the U-22 is prepared to bring home the medal. The Indonesian fans can look forward to exciting games and firmly believe that their team can successfully defend the title.
