Indonesia U-17 Team Secures World Cup Ticket after Defeating Yemen

Indonesia U-17 national team under Nova Arianto has secured their ticket to the 2025 FIFA U-17 World Cup after defeating Yemen 4-1 in the 2025 AFC U-17 Asian Cup match.

This victory — which marks their second consecutive positive result in the tournament — ensures Garuda Asia’s position at the top of Group C standings. The young Indonesian squad’s impressive performance demonstrates significant progress in Asian-level competition.

This achievement becomes more meaningful as it marks Indonesia U-17 team’s second World Cup appearance — following their previous participation as hosts in 2023 where they were eliminated in the group stage.
