Coach Bojan Hodak opens opportunities for two Persib Bandung academy players — Nazriel Alfaro and Muhammad Rhaka Syafaka Bilhuda who successfully helped Indonesia U-17 national team qualify for the 2025 World Cup.

The two young talents from Maung Bandung academy played crucial roles in helping Nova Arianto’s team reach the quarter-finals of the 2025 U-17 Asian Cup — simultaneously securing their World Cup ticket.

Indonesia U-17 national team confirmed qualification after securing two consecutive victories:

• Defeating South Korea with a score of 1-0

Nazriel Alfaro impressed by being trusted as a starter in both matches — prompting Persib Bandung’s coach to show interest in monitoring his progress along with Muhammad Rhaka further.
