Jakarta, Indonesiaโค – India’s under-23 โขsquadโฃ willโ face Indonesia in โa pairโค of friendly encounters at the Gelora Bung Karno Madya Stadium on October 10th and 13th, 2025, both kicking off at 6:30 PM โindian Standard Time.
The matches provide aโค crucial opportunity forโค head coach Naushad Moosa and hisโ team to build momentum following a narrow miss โฃin qualifying for the AFC U-23 Asian Cup.Despite victories against Bahrain and Brunei Darussalam, the Blueโ Colts finished โfifth among the best second-placed teams, falling โjust shortโข of the top four qualifying โคspots. โค Indonesia similarly did notโข advance, losing 1-0 to Korea โคRepublic in their โฃfinal group stage matchโค and โrankingโค tenth among runners-up. These friendliesโข are a key component of the team’s advancement as they look ahead to future qualifying campaigns.
Thisโ trip to Jakarta โคfalls within the October FIFA International Match โขWindow, allowing โขfor full squad โparticipation. Prior to these upcoming matches, the India U23 team completed four earlier friendly fixtures this season, including trips to Tajikistan in June to play the โคhost nation and โKyrgyz โRepublic, and two โขgames โagainst Iraq in Malaysia in August.
