KUDUS, beritajateng.tv – All-Stars Kudus again underlined their dominance at the MilkLife Soccer Challenge (MLSC) All-Stars 2026 after successfully defending the title. Playing at Supersoccer Arena in Kudus on Sunday, 28 June 2026, the hosts beat All-Stars Jakarta in a penalty shoot-out, 4-3, after a goalless draw in normal time.
All-Stars Surabaya meanwhile again took third place after beating All-Stars Yogyakarta by a narrow 1-0.
PSSI Chairman Erick Thohir praised the staging of the MilkLife Soccer Challenge, which he sees as an important part of developing women’s football in Indonesia from an early age. According to Erick, the tournament is not just a competition but a concrete step to support Indonesia’s big target of playing at the 2035 Women’s World Cup.
The MilkLife Soccer Challenge has become a real example of collaboration between the government, the private sector, communities, schools and parents in building the future of Indonesian women’s football.

MilkLife Soccer Challenge Program Director Teddy Tjahjono said the participants’ quality of play rose significantly compared with last season, with competition from the group stage to the final judged to be more even. For that reason, next season the organisers will widen the competition’s reach with three new cities: Jayapura, Garut, and Jakarta split into two regions, East Jakarta and North Jakarta.

The players’ development is very positive. Their technical ability, match mentality, and the support from parents and schools are also growing. That makes us optimistic about expanding the development programme.
