Indonesia’s U-23 Holds Perfect Knockout Record Against Thailand Ahead of AFF Semifinal Clash
Indonesia’s U-23 national team carries a flawless record against Thailand in decisive AFF U-23 Championship matches as they prepare for another crucial semifinal encounter. Set to take place at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, the match is part of the 2025 tournament's semifinal round. Both teams arrive with strong momentum—Indonesia topping Group A with seven points, and Thailand leading Group C with four.
This upcoming game marks the third time Indonesia and Thailand have faced each other in the AFF U-23 Championship since the tournament's inception in 2005. Interestingly, all previous meetings between the two have taken place in the knockout stages, emphasizing the high-stakes nature of their encounters. There has never been a group-stage matchup between the two teams in this tournament’s history.
In their first encounter in the 2019 final, Indonesia secured their first AFF U-23 title with a 2-1 victory over Thailand. The two teams met again in the 2023 semifinal, where Indonesia continued their dominance with a 3-1 win to reach their second final appearance. Despite losing the final in a penalty shootout that year, Indonesia maintained a perfect winning record over Thailand in direct elimination rounds.
As the 2025 semifinal approaches, this strong track record serves as a significant psychological advantage for Indonesia. Under the guidance of coach Gerald Vanenburg, the team will look to extend their unbeaten run against Thailand in the AFF U-23 knockouts and move one step closer to reclaiming the regional title.
