All-Stars Kudus again proved their dominance at the MilkLife Soccer Challenge All-Stars 2026, while 34 of the tournament’s best players will be sent to SingaCup 2026 in Singapore.
VIVA – All-Stars Kudus once again showed their dominance at the MilkLife Soccer Challenge All-Stars 2026. The team from the “Clove Cigarette City” successfully defended their title after beating All-Stars Jakarta in a tense penalty shoot-out.
The final, held at Supersoccer Arena in Kudus, Central Java, on Saturday 28 June 2026, was a fierce contest. The two teams were goalless in normal time before All-Stars Kudus secured a 4-3 win on penalties. All-Stars Surabaya took third place after narrowly beating All-Stars Yogyakarta 1-0.
The successful staging of the MLSC All-Stars was praised by PSSI Chairman Erick Thohir, who said the tournament is an important part of building the foundations of Indonesian women’s football. Erick stressed that PSSI has prepared a long-term roadmap to bring the Indonesian women’s national team to the 2035 Women’s World Cup, and that youth development through competitions such as MLSC is a real step towards that target.
Teddy Tjahjono, Program Director of the MilkLife Soccer Challenge, also saw very positive progress this season. Competition between teams is increasingly even, the quality of play has risen, and more young players are taking up football seriously.
Given the growing enthusiasm, the organisers have decided to widen the competition next season by adding three new cities, namely Jayapura, Garut and (by dividing Jakarta into two regions) East Jakarta and North Jakarta.
International experience in Singapore
The best players will not stop at national level; they will also gain international experience. A total of 34 players selected from the MilkLife Soccer Challenge All-Stars 2026 will be sent to SingaCup 2026, held in Singapore from 31 October to 7 November.
The event is expected to give young Indonesian players a platform to improve their technique and competitive mentality, and to gain more experience facing opponents from various countries.
In the final, All-Stars Kudus and All-Stars Jakarta were both disciplined from the first minute. Both sides attacked, but tight defences kept the score at 0-0 until the end of normal time.
The winner was decided on penalties. All-Stars Kudus were calmer and sealed a 4-3 win, defending their MLSC All-Stars title.
