TIMNA Indonesia U-17 It is said that it will replace the position of the Laos U-17 national team in Indonesia Asian Cup U-17 2023. How come? Here is the explanation.
Team Garuda Asia – the nickname of the Indonesian U-17 national team – has been declared unsuccessful in qualifying for the 2023 U-17 Asian Cup after finishing second in Group B. 17 2023.
Because, in addition to the 10 group winners, the AFC also allowed the six best runners-up to take part in the 2023 Asian Cup U-17. Unfortunately, in the ranking of the best runners-up, only the Indonesian U-17 national team occupies the seventh position with a collection of three points and a goal difference – 3.
The points for the National U-17 of Indonesia are only three points because for the determination of the best runners-up the numbers that are calculated are only the matches with the top three teams (Malaysia and United Arab Emirates). If only in the final against Malaysia last night the Indonesian Under-17 national team had lost 2-5, the Garuda Asia team would qualify for the 2023 Under-17 Asian Cup.
If so, the goal difference between the Indonesian U17 national team would be -2. The result was exactly the same as for the sixth ranked team, Laos. The difference is that the Indonesian Under-17 team has scored more goals, or four balls compared to Laos’ two.
Even so, the Indonesian Under-17 national team was still able to qualify for the 2023 Under-17 Asian Cup. According to a Vietnamese media report, The Thao 247, the Indonesian Under-17 national team would qualify for the Under-17s. 17 of 2023 Asian Cup if chosen as host.
For your information, the 2023 U-17 Asian Cup does not have a host at this time. The AFC also asked the 16 contestants of the 2023 U-17 Asian Cup to volunteer as hosts.
However, if none of the 16 contestants want to host, the team that failed to qualify for the 2023 U-17 Asian Cup can move forward. Indonesia can automatically volunteer as a host.
If Indonesia really moves forward and is chosen as the venue for the 2023 U-17 Asian Cup, will 17 teams be competing for the biennial tournament? According to The Thao 247, the number of participants remains 16.
Laos, which is ranked as the sixth best runner-up, will be sacrificed. Laos slots will be replaced later Indonesian National U-17
“Indonesia can still qualify for the 2023 Under-17 Asian Cup despite being humbly eliminated by Malaysia in qualifying. However, Indonesia’s hopes of participating in the 2023 Under-17 Asian Cup were suddenly rekindled after the AFC announcement, ”The Thao 247 wrote.
“In particular, Indonesia has a special opportunity to appear in the 2023 U-17 Asian Cup if they are selected to host the 2023 U-17 Asian Cup. Although 16 teams have already qualified, the Asian Cup itself. ‘Asia U-17 2023 does not have a guest yet, “continued The Thao 247.
“The AFC said that if the 16 teams that qualified for the 2023 Asian Under-17 Cup did not register as hosts, other nations outside the 16 teams had the opportunity to host (for example, Indonesia). If Indonesia becomes the host, Laos will most likely be eliminated from the 2023 Under-17 Asian Cup “, concluded The Thao 247.
