Indonesia national under-17 football team represents Indonesia in international football competitions such as FIFA U-17 World Cup, AFC U-17 Asian Cup, ASEAN U-16 Boys Championship, and any other under-17 international football tournaments. It is controlled by the Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI).
Recent history
The team won the AFF U-16 Youth Championship twice, in 2018 and 2022.[2] They qualified for the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup as a replacement for Peru, whose hosting rights were withdrawn in April 2023.[3][4] This was the first ever FIFA tournament hosted by the country, its only third FIFA tournament ever,[a] and the first since 1979, when their U-20 team played at the FIFA World Youth Championship as the second Asian team, replacing three 1978 AFC Youth Championship semi-finalists who forfeited.
The team started the tournament by scoring the country's first ever goal at a FIFA tournament courtesy of Arkhan Kaka in the match against Ecuador. They conceded an equaliser later, but managed to become the first Southeast Asian country to both score a goal and avoid defeat at a FIFA men's football tournament match.[b] He then scored the equaliser in the second match against Panama. Nabil Asyura scored the consolation goal in defeat against Morocco, which concluded their participation.[5]
The team then qualified for the 2025 AFC U-17 Asian Cup, in which their victory against South Korea and Yemen secured their qualification to the expanded 48-team FIFA U-17 World Cup, the country's first successful qualification campaign to a FIFA tournament.[c][6][7]
