U22 Indonesia plays in 2026 World Cup qualifiers, coach Shin Tae-yong is still trusted

At the same time, PSSI continues to trust coach Shin Tae-yong.

Indonesia has just lived in happy days with overflowing joy when the country's U22 team won the men's football championship of the 32nd SEA Games.

But the final is a week away and the Indonesians' joy has gradually subsided. The thoughts that occupy their minds now are the 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign.

Mr. Thohir said that the Indonesian Football Federation is making short-term, medium-term and long-term plans for the country's national team in the near future.

Indonesia has just won the SEA Games men's football championship for the first time in 32 years and Mr. Thohir said that the Indonesian U22 team will be the backbone of the country's national team in the future.

According to the PSSI President, U22 Indonesia will participate in the 2026 World Cup qualifying matches in October and November 2023 as well as the 2023 Asian Cup.

In preparation for the Asian Cup, PSSI will promote a comprehensive 3-week training program for U22 Indonesia.

The PSSI president admitted that experts can compare the performances of the U22 Indonesia team led by Indra Sjafri, who just won the SEA Games, with the Indonesian national team coached by Shin Tae-yong, who has yet to win any title. According to Mr. Thohir, both Sjari and Shin Tae-yong have done their jobs well.
