TC U-22 National Team Planned in South Korea and the UAE

The U-22 national team is prepared to compete in the 2021 SEA Games in Vietnam.

JAKARTA - PSSI chose South Korea and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as the training camps (TC) for the U-22 national team ahead of competing in the 2021 SEA Games. The election of these two countries was coach Shin Tae-yong's wish.


"That is a road map from coach Shin Tae-yong and the Technical Director of PSSI (Indra Sjafri)," said Acting Secretary General of PSSI Yunus Nusi in Jakarta, Friday (5/2) night.

Yunus has not provided information on the details of the plan. However, before TC abroad, the U-22 national team will take part in TC in Jakarta on February 8-28 2021. 36 players will participate in TC and they are required to bring their original passports with a minimum active period until July 2022.




Regarding the reasons for choosing TC locations in South Korea and the UAE, Indra Sjafri admitted that in general he considered the facilities and test opponents.

"We chose a TC place with good facilities and (there) there were a lot of qualified prospective test opponents," said Indra.

PSSI is eager to win a gold medal in the 2021 SEA Games to repeat a similar achievement at the 1991 SEA Games.

The organization, which was born on April 19, 1930, previously held the 2021 TC SEA Games in December 2020 in Jakarta.

Most recently, national team coach Shin Tae-yong summoned 36 players to take part in the TC preparation for the 2021 SEA Games in Jakarta on February 8-28, 2021.

The composition of the national team squad in the TC is a combination of U-19, U-22 and senior players (over 22 years old).

The U-19 players on the list are Pratama Arhan, Amiruddin Bagas, Braif Fatari, Irfan Jauhari, Natanael Siringoringo and Saddam Gaffar.

While the senior players that Shin included were Evan Dimas, Nadeo Argawinata, Dendy Sulistyawan, Kushedya Yudo, Miftahul Hamdi, Arif Satria and Sidik Saimima.

The 2021 SEA Games are scheduled for November-December in Vietnam. Based on similar competition regulations in 2019, every men's football team must be reinforced by players with a maximum age of 22 years (U-22) and a maximum of two senior players aged over 22 years.
