“I have coordinated with Shin Tae-yong on September 8 there are 21 players who will join from the Indonesian national team,” said the former coach of the Indonesian U-19 national team.

For the Asian Games this time, the Indonesian U24 national team was joined in group F with Kyrgyzstan, North Korea and Taiwan.
The opportunity for Garuda Muda to qualify for the next phase is quite large.
The opponent for the Indonesian U24 national team that was considered tough was North Korea, which successfully penetrated the quarter-finals at the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games.
At that time, the move from North Korea fell through an opponent who thwarted the steps of the Indonesian U24 National Team in the top 16 phase.
