“For sure I am happy, joyful, all mixed up, and I did not expect to be chosen for Singapore. I did not expect to be coached directly by Coach Jacksen either.”
KUDUS, 29 June 2026 – That innocent sentence, full of happiness, came from the heart of a 12-year-old young footballer, Adiba Sanas Primayuga.
Her team, All Stars Samarinda, came as newcomers, but she has already broken into the elite MilkLife Soccer Challenge U-12 team being prepared for SingaCup 2026.
Similar happiness was felt by Euis Siti Farhatus Sa’adah when her name was called in the announcement of the players chosen for the U-14 squad at Singa Cup 2026.
I really did not expect it, thank God. I thought I would not be picked, but it turned out my name was called by Coach Timo. I will fight as hard as I can to become champion.
Euis Siti Farhatus Sa’adah
As part of the continuing development of the MilkLife Soccer Challenge programme, the Bakti Olahraga Djarum Foundation and MilkLife again give young athletes the chance to experience the atmosphere of competition at international level. After successfully sending two teams to JSSL Singapore 7’s 2025, where they finished runners-up, this year 34 of the best MilkLife Soccer Challenge All-Stars 2026 players are being flown to SingaCup 2026, held from 31 October to 7 November.
The event is one of Asia’s prestigious football tournaments, involving young talents from various countries, including several representatives of football academies in Indonesia.
MLSC All Stars does not stop at the national round. We formed two teams filled with the best players, based on the talent scouting team’s monitoring, to compete at Singa Cup 2026.
Teddy Tjahjono, Program Director of MilkLife Soccer Challenge, after the final
Through the competition, Teddy continued, the athletes are expected to accelerate their ability, improve their mentality and gain more experience at international level.
That experience aims to form more mature talent as part of the regeneration of the Indonesian Women’s National Team.
