Indonesia did not advance to the knockout stage and finished third in Group A in 2010. North Korea performed strongly, becoming the champion after defeating Uzbekistan 2-0 in the final match. In 2018, both countries topped their respective groups. Indonesia lost to Australia, and North Korea lost to Tajikistan in the quarterfinals.
North Korea has participated in the U-17 Asian Cup on 12 occasions and became champions twice in 2010 and 2014. Meanwhile, Indonesia participated seven times, the best result being a fourth place in 1990.
In the U-17 World Cup, both countries have also qualified for the 2025 U-17 World Cup. This marks North Korea's sixth appearance in the U-17 World Cup, with their best performance reaching the quarterfinals in 2005. As for the Indonesian U-17 national team, this is their second qualification after hosting the 2023 edition, with the best performance being only reaching the group stage two years ago.
Currently, the Indonesia U-17 national team has advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2025 U-17 Asian Cup by sweeping the matches in Group C, winning against South Korea (1-0), Yemen (4-1), and Afghanistan (2-0). Meanwhile, North Korea became the runner-up in Group D with five points, resulting from draws against Iran (1-1), a victory against Tajikistan (3-0), and another draw against Oman (2-2).
