The selection was made through tight screening during the All-Stars tournament at Supersoccer Arena, Kudus, Central Java, on 23-28 June. The programme was initiated by the Bakti Olahraga Djarum Foundation and MilkLife to sharpen competitive mentality and give international experience.

Jacksen F. Tiago’s selection criteria

The coaching team looked not only for players with outstanding individual ability but also for intelligence in reading match situations. The ability to take decisions on the pitch is an important aspect for facing the competition in Singapore.

We look for players with potential in terms of football intelligence; they must be able to adapt quickly to changes in the pattern of play.

Jacksen F. Tiago

Although still in elementary school, the players are judged to have shown dynamic and effective performances.

Seeing their performance on the pitch, we are optimistic of building a team that is competitive, attractive and able to compete with other countries.
