Jakarta - Chairman of the All Indonesia Football Association (PSSI) Erick Thohir asked the coach of the Indonesian U-17 national team, Nova Arianto, to focus on meeting the target of playing in the 2025 U-17 World Cup.
Erick stated that he did not want to lose the opportunity to play in the World Cup again after the Indonesian U-20 national team with Indra Sjafri failed to fulfill it.
"Indeed, many parties are disappointed that we did not enter the U-20 World Cup, but in fact we have made maximum efforts, but the results are not there yet," said Erick at a press conference at the Danareksa Tower, Jakarta, Tuesday.
"Does that reduce our desire in U-17 to enter the World Cup? No. We certainly have to remain aggressive, we have to try to pursue the World Cup target," he added.
