Prabowo Subianto, who is set to become the president for the 2024-2029 term, has urged the Indonesian public to pray for the success of the Indonesian U-23 National Team in their upcoming match against South Korea in the U-23 Asian Cup.
Emphasizing the importance of Indonesia defeating South Korea, Prabowo stated, “The main thing is to win,” during a meeting with NasDem Chairman Surya Paloh at his residence on Thursday (April 25).
The match between the Indonesian U-23 and South Korean U-23 teams is scheduled to take place at the Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium in Doha, Qatar on Friday, April 26, 2024.
The Indonesian U-23 team recently made history by reaching the quarterfinals of the 2024 U-23 Asian Cup after securing a 4-1 victory over Jordan U-23. This milestone marked the Indonesian team’s debut in the U-23 Asian Cup.
Furthermore, on Wednesday, Prabowo offered prayers for Indonesia’s success against South Korea, stating, “Tomorrow (early Friday morning), our national team, the U-23s, in Doha will face South Korea. We pray for our national team. It’s very important,” during a press conference at the PKB headquarters in Central Jakarta on Wednesday (April 24).
