Nova Arianto remains cautious ahead of U-17 final match against Afghanistan

According to Bolasport.com, coach Nova Arianto remains vigilant about Afghanistan’s strength ahead of their final Group C match of the 2025 U-17 Asian Cup scheduled for early Friday morning.

The Indonesia U-17 national team plans to rotate their squad for this match — considering they have already secured their ticket to the quarter-finals.

Afghanistan has indicated they will play with high intensity to maintain their pride — suggesting the match will be closely contested from the start.

“All players must stay focused on every match, including against Afghanistan later. We must maximize our efforts to achieve positive results,” stated Nova Arianto.
