The U-17 National Team is targeting a ticket to the 2027 Asian Cup, with 23 players officially called up for the campaign.

Jakarta – Indonesia U-17 National Team has called up 23 players for the upcoming 2027 AFC U-17 Asian Cup Qualifiers, which will be held in Myanmar between 8 and 20 November 2026. The Garuda Muda squad is targeting first place in Group A to secure qualification for the final tournament in Uzbekistan.

This player list was announced via the official Indonesia U-17 National Team social media accounts on Monday, 9 November 2026. Head coach David Nascimento has included a number of players who previously represented Garuda Muda, most notably Syahdan Caesar El Fadhil, Valdo Putra Pratama, Dolvi Theofilius Solossa, and Ichiro Akbar Al Buchori.

Indonesia U-17 National Team has been drawn into Group A alongside host nation Myanmar, the Philippines, Cambodia, and Afghanistan. All group stage matches will be hosted in Myanmar under a single round-robin competition format.

Indonesia will open their qualifying campaign against the Philippines on Wednesday, 11 November. This match is scheduled to kick off at 15:30 WIB at Padaythar Football Stadium, Yangon.

Following this opening fixture, Garuda Muda will face Cambodia on Saturday 14 November at the Starcity Sports Club. Indonesia will then meet Afghanistan on Tuesday 17 November, before closing out their group stage fixtures against host Myanmar on Friday 20 November, also at Padaythar Football Stadium.

All of Indonesia's matches have been scheduled for a 15:30 WIB kickoff.

Only Group Winners Will Qualify

Securing a spot at the 2027 AFC U-17 Asian Cup final tournament will not be straightforward. A total of 35 nations have been split across seven groups, with five teams allocated to each group.

Every team will play four matches under a full round-robin system. Only the top placed team from each group will earn a qualification spot through this qualifying round.

This means Indonesia must compete to finish top of Group A. Any draw or defeat will directly impact Garuda Muda's chances of securing a place in the final tournament.

The seven qualifying group winners will join nine nations that have already received automatic qualification following the 2026 FIFA U-17 World Cup. These nine pre-qualified nations are Australia, China, Japan, South Korea, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam.

The 2027 AFC U-17 Asian Cup final tournament will be hosted in Uzbekistan during May 2027, with 16 nations set to compete.
