Indra Sjafri, the head coach of the Indonesia Under-24 team said that direct negotiations with the club were important for the team to get the best possible players they could for the Asian Games 2023.
“We held talks with the coaches of the Indonesian clubs and the negotiations went well enough for us to bring 22 players to China. We realised that the Asian Games is not part of the FIFA calendar. That was why we took steps to hold discussions with the club coaches to find a win-win solution,” said Indra.
Football at the Asian Games 2023 will start on 19 September 2023 in Hangzhou, China with Indonesia placed in Group F against DPR Korea, Kyrgyzstan and Chinese Taipei.
