Indonesia U-17 Joins Thailand and Vietnam in U-17 Asian Cup 2025

According to Bolasport.com, the Indonesia U-17 national team will compete alongside Thailand and Vietnam as Southeast Asian representatives in the U-17 Asian Cup 2025 — a tournament that kicks off tomorrow in Saudi Arabia.

The chances for all three Southeast Asian teams to advance to the U-17 World Cup 2025 are now greater — thanks to the competition format change that expands the number of participants to 48 teams.

The Asian Football Confederation receives eight slots for the U-17 World Cup 2025 — meaning teams only need to qualify from the group stage to secure their ticket to the global tournament.

With the expanded format, Indonesia U-17, Thailand, and Vietnam—have a strong opportunity to showcase their talent on the international stage.

A successful run in the U-17 Asian Cup 2025—could provide a major boost to youth football development in the region, further strengthening Southeast Asia’s presence in world football.
