It was still Impressive
It was sad news that the Indonesian U-23 Football teams failed to secure a place in the 2024 Paris Olympics as they lost 1-0 to Guinea in the play-off games for a place to play in the Olympics. But overall, they have been fantastic, and the result of this young team so impressive, at least I can see that we might have a bright future or at least we will have a great team for at least the next decade if the federation fails to do the regeneration of the players.
No one would expect that the team could go through the Semifinals in the AFF Asian Cup U-23 in Qatar before they were beaten by the second place Uzbekistan in the semi. The teams also managed to beat one of the favorites in the tournament, South Korea in the quarter-final, which is already such a nice achievement.
It is sad to know that they won't play in the Olympics, but now we know what the team capable of, how nice they can play, the mixture of local and also naturalized players in the team.
It now depends on them, in how they can keep up their shape and their play so that they can play better in the future, and also it is time for the federation to change the national league, and move toward a better and more professional league for its huge business, and also sports with millions of fans, that can unite the already squared people here in the country because of the politic, tribe so and so on and so forth.
