TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The U-17 Indonesia national team will play their final match of the Group H preliminary round of the 2025 U-17 World Cup at Field 2, Aspire Zone, Doha, Qatar, on Monday, November 10, 2025. The match is scheduled at 21:45 WIB (Western Indonesian Time) and can be watched live on FIFA+ streaming.
The Garuda squad has not yet secured any points in the two matches played. In the first match, under the coaching of Nova Arianto, they lost 1-3 to Zambia. At that time, they briefly led through a goal by Zahaby Gholy, but conceded three goals in a short time before the halftime break. Next, they lost 0-4 to Brazil.
These two defeats place Indonesia in third position in the group standings, above Honduras who also has no points, after being defeated 0-7 by Brazil and 2-5 by Zambia. Considering the opponents' performance in the two group matches, Indonesia has the opportunity to clinch a victory in the final Group H match.
Coach Nova said that his team, aiming for a victory, will play a more attacking style. "Regarding the course of tomorrow's match (today), we will certainly play more attacking as we need three points. However, we will remain cautious of Honduras, who have a good transition," he said when met at the training ground of Al-Thumama Stadium, Doha, on Sunday, November 9, 2025, as quoted from Antara.
With an aggressive performance, Gholy and his teammates are expected to score many goals to keep the hope of qualifying for the round of 32 alive. Currently, the Garuda squad is in 12th place. If they can secure three points in the final match, the hope of advancing to the next round as one of the top eight third-placed teams is still open.
"We know that the opportunity (to qualify) is still very much open, around 60 percent or 40 percent. But I told the players, they have to maximize every opportunity. I asked the players to be even more maximal," said the 46-year-old coach.
From the beginning, Nova has emphasized to the players of the U-17 Indonesia national team competing in the 2025 U-17 World Cup to enjoy every match. He emphasized that the opportunity to compete at the highest level championship at this age is an important experience in their development.
