The main target for this team is to qualify for the 2025 U-20 World Cup. In order for this target to be achieved, PSSI made early preparations by appointing Indra as coach.
Before that, Indonesia will appear first in the 2025 U-20 Asian Cup Qualification at the end of 2024. This event will determine the fate of going to the World Cup.
If they can reach the semifinals, Indonesia will get a ticket to the 2025 U-20 World Cup. Therefore, Indra has prepared a long-term, measurable program.
