Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
No country from the Southeast Asia region has confirmed that they will qualify for the final round 2025 U-17 Asian Cup. The majority of ASEAN countries are still anxious about getting tickets to the tournament which will take place in Saudi Arabia next year.
Apart from Saudi Arabia, which is certain to appear in the 2025 U-17 Asian Cup, there are only North Korea and the United Arab Emirates who have confirmed tickets through the 2025 U-17 Asian Cup Qualification route.
None of the Southeast Asian countries have confirmed tickets to Saudi Arabia. Of the ten ASEAN countries competing, without Timor Leste not competing, four countries are certain to be eliminated. Brunei Darussalam, the Philippines, Myanmar and Singapore will definitely not go to the U-17 Asian Cup next year.

Meanwhile, the rest will still fight until the last day of the 2025 U-17 Asian Cup Qualification.
Thailand is the only ASEAN country that currently occupies the position of group winner. However, the position of the War Elephant junior team is still not safe because they have to face India in the last match. The strength of the Blue Tiger is also something Thailand should be wary of. If Thailand loses badly, then Saudi Arabia’s hopes could be dashed.
Meanwhile, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam are temporarily still in second place and will still have one match remaining on Sunday (27/10).
Cambodia will face the Philippines, Indonesia will meet Australia, Malaysia will face Laos, and Vietnam will try out Yemen.
In the best group runner up ranking, Indonesia is above three other countries. It’s just that the position of the Garuda Muda team is still in sixth place. Meanwhile, to ensure qualification for the 2025 U-17 Asian Cup, you must at least occupy the top five positions.
Meanwhile, under Indonesia, there is currently Cambodia. Meanwhile, Vietnam and Malaysia are ranked ninth and tenth respectively.
