All-Stars Kudus retained the MilkLife Soccer Challenge All-Stars 2026 title after beating All-Stars Jakarta 4-3 on penalties, and the 34 selected talents will now head to SingaCup 2026 in Singapore.
KUDUS, iNewsPantura.id – All-Stars Kudus successfully defended the MilkLife Soccer Challenge (MLSC) All-Stars 2026 title after beating All-Stars Jakarta 4-3 on penalties following a goalless draw in the final at Supersoccer Arena, Kudus, on Sunday (28/6).
All-Stars Surabaya meanwhile again took third place after beating All-Stars Yogyakarta 1-0.
The final brought together the two best teams, All-Stars Kudus and All-Stars Jakarta, in a match that was fierce from the first minute. Both sides played with discipline in an open game and created chances for each other.
All-Stars Kudus had a golden chance from a free kick by Renanthera Aluna Addya Putri in the ninth minute, but Jakarta goalkeeper Erza Khalifa Sakhi was able to secure it. Jakarta also had a chance from a free kick by Albianca Raula, but the ball sailed over the bar.
In the second half the tempo rose. Kudus were more aggressive with high pressing, while Jakarta relied on direct attacks from outside the penalty area. But by the end of normal time neither side had broken the deadlock, so the match went to penalties. In the shoot-out All-Stars Kudus were calmer and sealed a 4-3 win to defend the MLSC All-Stars title.
All-Stars Kudus goalkeeper Queisha Sava Azzalfa said the penalty practice done before the final was the key to her team’s success.
We had prepared for penalties in training. I’m grateful I could save two of the opposition’s kicks and help the team become champions.

All-Stars Kudus coach Yayat Hidayat said the team’s success came from careful preparation, including a training centre that strengthened cohesion among the players. In his view, the MilkLife Soccer Challenge is an important platform for finding Indonesia’s young female footballers.
On the other side, All-Stars Jakarta coach Arifin still praised his players’ efforts despite having to settle for runners-up.
We indeed didn’t prepare a penalty scenario. But I’m still proud because the players gave their best all the way to the final.

In the third-place match, All-Stars Surabaya beat All-Stars Yogyakarta by a narrow 1-0. The only goal was scored by Agnia Nurul Fadhila Rohman in the 23rd minute, after she took advantage of a long ball in front of goal. The lead held to the end and put Surabaya in third place again, the same as last season. Surabaya coach Sai Dong said his team’s success was the fruit of the players’ mental development throughout the tournament.
What I’m most grateful for is the children’s development. They keep progressing well. A tournament like this is very important for the advancement of Indonesian women’s football.

The chance to play at SingaCup 2026 was welcomed enthusiastically by the selected players. U-12 All-Stars Samarinda captain Adiba Sanas Primayuga said she had not expected to make the squad that will represent Indonesia in Singapore.
I’m very happy to have been selected. This was my first MilkLife Soccer Challenge and now I get a chance to play at the international level. We are optimistic we can achieve the best result.

U-14 player Euis Siti Farhatus Sa’adah said much the same, saying she was grateful her name was on the list of players going to Singapore.
I didn’t expect to be selected. I will fight as hard as I can to bring home an achievement.
