KOMPAS.com – The Indonesian U19 national team is preparing to continue their training center (TC) on the European continent. This time, they will move to Turkey.
The Indonesian U19 national team is ready to be filled with descent players who play in Europe apart from Jack Brown. This is Elkan Baggott.
Elkan Baggott failed to help the U19 national team upbringing Shin Tae-yong when he played seven friendly matches in Croatia. The reason is, he did not get permission from his club, Ipswich Town.
However, he is currently rumored to be joining the Indonesian U19 national team in the next few days.

The man who also serves as a member of the PSSI Executive Committee (Exco) admitted that the response from Ipswich Town U18 to the federation was very good.
