Cahya Supriadi: From Crying Child to National U-23 Goalkeeper

Cahya Supriadi, the 22-year-old Indonesia U-23 national team goalkeeper, is preparing for ASEAN Cup U-23 2025 — a tournament that will become his proving ground.

The keeper born on February 11, 2003, began his journey at SSB Tunas Pupuk Kujang Cikampek — an academy that became his first stepping stone in football.

Cahya’s childhood was marked by a unique memory — he often cried when not invited to play football in his village.

“Seeing me like that, my brother immediately enrolled me in a football school,” Cahya recalls.

His late brother remains an inspirational figure in his career journey.

“He has passed away, but his inspiration still remains,” Cahya expresses with appreciation.
