Erick Thohir warns U-23 national team about Vietnam’s playing style in ASEAN Cup final

Erick Thohir — PSSI Chairman issues a special warning to Indonesia U-23 national team ahead of the ASEAN Cup U-23 2025 final match against Vietnam.

The title-deciding match will take place tomorrow — a repeat of the dramatic final two years ago that ended in Young Garuda’s defeat through penalties.

In a direct meeting with players and technical staff, Erick Thohir emphasized the importance of being cautious against Vietnam’s known physical playing style.

“Who was there in Thailand, AFF U-23 Cup? Do you remember their playing style?” said Erick Thohir in the meeting recorded on his personal Instagram account.

Indonesia U-23 national team now has the advantage of playing at home — a factor expected to help the team achieve a different result from their previous encounter.
