Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —

U-17 Indonesian National Team will face Ecuador in the first match of Group A 2023 U-17 World Cup, Friday (10/11). The following is the schedule for Indonesia vs Ecuador.

Bima Sakti’s team is in an unfavorable position in this match even though they act as hosts. This is because Ecuador is believed to be the strongest team in group A.

The team nicknamed La Tri came with runner up status in CONMEBOL Sudamericano Sub-17. Ecuador did not become champion just because they lost on points to Brazil.

This unseeded status means that the U-17 Indonesian National Team has the potential to perform well. This hope is also shared by the Bima Sakti coach.

“What is certain is that I don’t want to burden the players too much. What is certain is that they also realize that this is a rare opportunity,” said Bima Sakti.

If you want to qualify for the round of 16 of the 2023 U-17 World Cup, Indonesia must be the group winner, runner-up, and the best third-ranked team of which there are only four quotas.

“They already know their duties and responsibilities. Always focused in every match and ready to give their best,” said Bima Sakti.

The Indonesia vs Ecuador duel will take place at the Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium, Surabaya, Friday at 19.00 WIB and will be broadcast live by Indosiar and SCTV.
