Frank van Kempen focuses on ASEAN Cup before forming U-20 national team

Frank van Kempen — Indonesia’s U-20 national team coach who also serves as U-23 assistant coach — is currently focused on assisting Gerald Vanenburg at the 2025 ASEAN Cup U-23.

The Young Garuda squad has shown impressive performance — defeating Brunei Darussalam with a decisive 8-0 score and securing a narrow 1-0 victory over the Philippines.

A crucial match awaits the Red and White team — they will face traditional rivals Malaysia in the Group A decider at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium.

The 53-year-old coach emphasizes that his current focus is entirely on the ASEAN Cup tournament — the formation of the U-20 national team will begin after this competition ends.
