Indonesian U-22 national team coach, Indra Sjafri, already has future plans after the “Garuda” failed to qualify for SEA Games 2025.
The 62-year-old tactician plans to go to Padang, West Sumatra.
Indra Sjafri is a coach from Padang, specifically from South Pesisir.
The former Bali United coach came to Padang to observe the atmosphere there.
Moreover, West Sumatra has just been affected by a natural disaster.
Indra Sjafri admitted he was sad and wished the best for the victims.
Indra Sjafri’s plan to go to Padang has no connection with the Indonesian U-22 national team.
The Indonesian U-22 national team players have been returned to their respective clubs.
Yes, the Indonesian U-22 national team has arrived at Soekarno Hatta International Airport, Tangerang, Banten, Saturday (12/13/2025).
The Indonesian U-22 national team has returned from Thailand after failing to advance to the semifinals of the 2025 SEA Games.
My plan is maybe to go to Padang first.
“The plan is to see the conditions there, perhaps next week,” Indra Sjafri told the media crew, including.
Furthermore, Indra Sjafri expressed his gratitude to PSSI for appointing him as the coach of the Indonesian U-22 national team for the 2025 SEA Games.
He apologized to the Indonesian people that the results did not meet expectations.
Previously, PSSI motivated the players to win the gold medal and simultaneously defend the championship.
However, that target differs from the Ministry of Youth and Sports (Kemenpora), which hopes the Indonesian U-22 national team will win a silver medal.
Therefore, I apologize.
If asked who is most responsible for the team technically, it is I.
Therefore, I thank PSSI and the PSSI management once again.
“I also thank the players who fought as hard as possible from the first match and the second match yesterday,” Indra Sjafri concluded.
