PALEMBANG (26 May 2018) – Satia Bagdja Ijatna, the head coach of the Indonesian national Women’s team, said that they badly needed to play against Thailand this week as that is the only sure way of gauging the level of the squad.
He said that since the team’s inception early this year, the players have not been tested in a competitive, international atmosphere.
“We have a total of 33 players and they are the best that we have at the moment although the selection process is still on-going,” said Satia..
“The test against Thailand is important because we have not played any international matches since the team got together in March this year.”
Indonesia will play two games against Thailand – on 27 May 2018 at the Gelora Sriwijaya Stadium and then 30 May 2018 at the Bumi Sriwijaya Stadium.
The squad is being prepared for the AFF Women’s Championship which starts at the end of June 2018 and then the Asian Games 2018 in August.
