Jacksen F Tiago has officially picked the 34 best players from the MilkLife Soccer Challenge 2026. They will represent Indonesia at SingaCup 2026 in Singapore.

POJOKPAPUA.ID – A total of 34 young female footballers from the MilkLife Soccer Challenge All-Stars 2026 have officially been selected to represent Indonesia at SingaCup in Singapore. The talented players from the under-12 (U-12) and under-14 (U-14) age groups are scheduled to compete in the international competition from 31 October to 7 November 2026.

The strict selection process was led in person by head coach Jacksen F Tiago at the Supersoccer Arena, Kudus, Central Java, from 23 to 28 June. The activity, initiated by Bakti Olahraga Djarum Foundation together with MilkLife, as reported by Suara, is designed to train the mental side and give the young athletes international experience.

The coaching team applied high standards that did not focus only on the players’ individual technique. Intelligence in reading match situations and accurate decision-making on the pitch were the main deciding factors during the screening.

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

Although most of the players are still at primary school, their dynamic performances and effective play on the pitch were rated positively by the talent scouts.

Looking at their performances on the pitch, we are optimistic about building a team that is competitive, attractive and able to compete with other countries.

PSSI support on the road to the Women’s World Cup

The development programme received a positive response from the chairman of the Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI), Erick Thohir, who called it a real part of the blueprint for the progress of national women’s football. PSSI has a long-term target for Indonesia to reach the Women’s World Cup stage by 2035.

We are no longer just talking about plans; we are already moving with real action through programmes and competitions such as the MilkLife Soccer Challenge.

Erick Thohir added that synergy between the private sector, schools and parents is an important pillar in producing a golden generation of female footballers. The high enthusiasm has led the organisers to plan to expand the competition to new cities such as Jayapura and Garut next season.

Players excited about Singapore

The names of the selected players were announced after the All-Stars Kudus team secured the title through a penalty shoot-out against All-Stars Jakarta. The tight contest in the final showed that quality among female footballers is now spread more evenly across the regions.

I didn’t expect to be picked for Singapore either, especially to be coached directly by Coach Jacksen. We are optimistic we can be champions there.

Similar optimism was shown by Euis Siti Farhatus Sa’adah, a member of the U-14 squad, who is determined to give her best to bring good credit to Indonesia on the international stage.

A long-term commitment to regeneration

Overall, the MilkLife Soccer Challenge All-Stars 2026 attracted a total of 25,727 participants this season. The figure is a strong indicator of girls’ growing interest in football.

MilkLife Soccer Challenge Program Director Teddy Tjahjono stressed that the main aim of the event is to keep the regeneration of Indonesia’s women’s national team going on a continuing basis.

The international experience at SingaCup aims to shape more mature talent as part of the regeneration of the Indonesian women’s national team.
