Indonesia U-17 vs China U-17: Live Stream & Kick-Off Time

Jakarta, Indonesia – The Indonesia U-17 national team faces China U-17 once again tonight in the second leg of their international friendly match. The match is scheduled to kick off at 6:30 PM WIB (Western Indonesian Time) at the Indomilk Arena in Tangerang.

This rematch comes just days after a challenging first encounter where Indonesia U-17 suffered a 0-7 defeat to their Chinese counterparts on Sunday, February 8th, at the same venue. The heavy loss served as a stark reality check for the young Garuda Muda squad as they prepare for the upcoming AFC U-17 Asian Cup 2026.

Indonesia’s head coach, Nova Arianto, acknowledged the disappointing result of the first match, framing it as a valuable learning experience for his players. “From the expectation side, this match result was far from what we hoped for, especially considering what we had prepared before the match. In terms of performance, it wasn’t what we wanted today,” Arianto stated, as reported by Kitagaruda.

Arianto emphasized that the international friendly represented the first taste of international competition for many of the players on the Indonesian roster. He also recognized the strength of the Chinese team, describing them as “one of the very good teams.” Despite the scoreline, Arianto was encouraged by the effort displayed by his players. “I saw the players fighting very hard today,” he added.

With the AFC U-17 Asian Cup looming in April, Arianto believes there is still time for improvement. He hopes the incoming head coach will thoroughly assess the team, utilizing the insights gained from the two friendly matches against China. “During this transition period, the new coach can see comprehensively, especially from today’s match, what needs to be improved,” Arianto explained.

The long-term goals for the Indonesia U-17 team remain focused on success in both the Asian Cup and qualification for the FIFA U-17 World Cup. “The hope is that the players can qualify for the Asian Cup and advance to the World Cup. That tradition must still be achieved,” Arianto affirmed.

Tonight’s match provides a crucial opportunity for Indonesia U-17 to demonstrate their response to the first encounter and implement lessons learned. While a significant turnaround in score may not be the primary objective, a more competitive performance and a clearer demonstration of tactical understanding will be key indicators of progress.

The friendly series against China U-17 is a vital component of Indonesia’s preparation for the AFC U-17 Asian Cup. The tournament will be a significant test for the young squad, offering a platform to showcase their talent on a continental stage. The competition will also serve as a qualifying pathway for the FIFA U-17 World Cup, adding further weight to the importance of each match.

The Indonesian squad will be looking to build on their experience and refine their strategies in the lead-up to the Asian Cup. The coaching staff will be focused on identifying areas for improvement and fostering a cohesive team spirit. The support of the home crowd at the Indomilk Arena will undoubtedly provide a boost to the players as they strive to achieve their goals.

The match against China U-17 is not just about the scoreline; it’s about the development of young players and the building of a competitive team capable of representing Indonesia with pride on the international stage. The lessons learned from this friendly series will be invaluable as the team embarks on its journey towards the AFC U-17 Asian Cup and beyond.
