Indonesian National U-17 failed to advance to the 2023 Asian U-17 Cup but only assistant coach Marco Orison that netizens have insinuated.
Garuda Asia failed to qualify because she failed to compete in the race for the best second-place ticket. The cause of this failure was because Arkhan Kaka Putra and his friends were defeated 1-5 by Malaysia in the last game at Pakansari Stadium, Cibinong, Bogor, Sunday (9/10) WIB night.
Bima Sakti’s team had to settle for occupying only the seventh position in the ranking of the best runners-up. This position is not enough for Garuda Asia because only the six best runners-up can accompany the 10 winners of the qualifying round for the 2023 Asian Cup U-17.

The inability of the Indonesia U-17 national team to participate in the 2023 U-17 Asian Cup has been widely debated by netizens. The discussion leads to Markus Horizon.
The name of the former Indonesian national team goalkeeper was raised in connection with his remarks that went viral when the Indonesian Under-16 national team won the 2022 AFF Under-16 Cup title.
At that moment, Markus and another assistant manager shouted the words “local pride champion” to celebrate the championship.
“Dear Markus Horison. He is still local,” wrote one netizen.
“The wrong thing is still Markus Horizon,” another netizen tweeted. “Local Pretttttt shake Markus Horizon.”
The Milky Way trainer really apologized and felt responsible. Bima said the failure of the Indonesian national team U-17 could not be separated from the fact that he was less careful in rotating players in four games at the Pakansari stadium.
“I pass on to the players, I take lessons and I take this experience to them forward because their careers are still long. And this is my responsibility as a manager. It’s the coaching team’s fault, it’s not the players’ fault,” said Bima.
