Nafuzi Zain Eager Ahead of Malaysia vs Indonesia Clash

Nafuzi Zain, head coach of the Malaysia U-23 national team, has expressed his excitement ahead of their high-stakes clash against Indonesia U-23 — a fiery encounter to close out Group A of the 2025 ASEAN Cup U-23.

The much-anticipated match will take place at Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium in Central Jakarta. It comes after a planned friendly between the two sides in September was canceled.

Group A of the tournament consists of:

• Indonesia
• Malaysia
• Philippines
• Brunei Darussalam

“Clearly, the Indonesia vs Malaysia rivalry is one that both sets of fans have been eagerly waiting for,” said Nafuzi Zain.

The match is expected to be decisive for group standings, with intense support from both fanbases and fierce competition on the pitch.
