After the Indonesian National Team U-16, now the turn of the U-19 Indonesian National Team will be in the spotlight. The reason is, Indra Sjafri's foster children will fight in the 2018 AFC U19 Cup which could be the bridge to the 2019 U-20 World Cup.

The Indonesian Under-16 national team failed to realize the target of securing tickets for the 2019 U-17 World Cup. However, Fakhri Husaini's foster children still made themselves proud of their success in reaching the quarter-finals.

Moreover, the Indonesian Under-16 national team was eliminated after giving fierce resistance to Australia which ended in a 2-3 defeat. Previously, Amiruddin Bagus Kahfi and his friends were able to win Group C which was inhabited by India, Vietnam and Iran.

Along with the skyrocketing name of the U-16 Indonesian National Team, the U-19 Indonesia national team coach claimed to be unencumbered. He said the success achieved by the Garuda Asia squad was precisely the motivation for the Garuda Nusantara team.

"They inspire and motivate. What must be appreciated is the emergence of new players," said Indra Sjafri at ABC's Gelora Bung Karno Field (GBK), Senayan, Jakarta, Thursday (04/10/2018).
