The Indonesian All Star U-20 players began training at the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) for the forthcoming 2022 International Youth Championship (IYC) on April 13-19.

Indonesia All Star Coach Ilham Romadhona expressed his gratitude for being able to practice at JIS, as it can adjust the players when they compete. They had prepared well physically while fasting and also regularly practice during the day and night.

"Alhamdulillah, we can practice here (JIS). Hope they can be responsible, as this is an international scale," he expressed, Sunday (4/9).

In the IYC 2022 event, they would compete against the top two Spanish LaLiga teams, namely, Barcelona U-18 and Atletico De Madrid U-18, as well as Indonesian League I champions, Bali United U-19.

"We already have a strategy, starting from recruitment to the formation that is suitable later. Win or lose, this will be a lesson for us," he said.

One of the Indonesian All Star players Brylian Almada admitted he was 100 percent ready to compete at JIS next week. It was a good opportunity to play and compete with Barcelona and Atletico.

"Even though some are fasting, we will give our best," he asserted.

The same statement also came out from a player from Borneo FC Komang Teguh. He felt proud and happy to play at JIS, as he previously played at Pancoran Soccer Field (PSF).

"I'm proud and happy, it will be the first for us to compete here," he closed.
