U17 Indonesia is the only Southeast Asian team to qualify for the U17 World Cup Finals 2025. Obviously, Indonesia’s chance to cause an upset is slim due to the tough group. However, U17 Indonesia continues to show commendable effort and determination to make an impact.
In their opening match against Zambia, U17 Indonesia even took the lead but eventually lost 1-3. Focus and physical fitness remain areas for improvement. In the second group H match, U17 Indonesia will face a very strong opponent, the top favorite for the championship, U17 Brazil.
Everyone knows how strong Brazil’s youth football is. In their opener, the "Samba dancers" cruised past Honduras with a 7-0 win. Against the relatively inexperienced U17 Indonesia, the score could have been even higher. Another victory would secure U17 Brazil’s advancement with one match to spare.
U17 Indonesia’s head coach, Nova Arianto, sent a strong message to his players ahead of their second group H World Cup 2025 match against U17 Brazil. He urged the team to play confidently, not fear physical challenges, and take control of the ball if they want to make a difference against one of the world’s top teams.
He wants the players to maintain a fighting spirit, not shy away from duels, and be ready to hold possession and develop their own style rather than being swept up by the opponent’s pace.
