The MilkLife Soccer Challenge (MLSC) has officially announced the U-12 and U-14 players who will represent Indonesia at SingaCup 2026 in Singapore.

KUDUS, 28 June 2026 – The announcement was made after the closing of the MLSC All-Stars 2026 tournament at Supersoccer Arena, Kudus, Central Java, on Sunday.

The squad was chosen directly by MLSC Head Coach Jacksen Ferreira Tiago together with Timo Scheunemann, based on the players’ performances throughout the tournament and their potential to develop at a higher level. Sixteen players were called up for the U-12 team and 18 for the U-14 team. They come from the cities that took part in MLSC All-Stars 2026, among them Kudus, Jakarta, Surabaya, Semarang, Solo, Tangerang, Yogyakarta, Bandung, Bekasi, Malang, Samarinda and Banjarmasin.

Jacksen said the selection did not focus only on match performance but also weighed each player’s long-term prospects.

We chose these players after seeing their performance in the tournament and also their potential.

The coaching team assessed not only technical ability but also playing character, the ability to read the game, and how players take decisions under pressure. Jacksen regards the mental aspect as an important indicator of who deserves to represent Indonesia in international competition.

Potential can be seen when players are able to make the right decision in difficult situations during a match. That is one of our main assessments.

As an example, he pointed to Kudus player Sabrina Dwi Ristiyana, named best player of MLSC All-Stars 2026. Her performance, he said, cannot be measured only by the goals she scored. The defender did not get on the scoresheet in the final, but was dominant throughout the match and highly consistent through the tournament.

Maybe other people see that she did not score, but she is very dominant and her error rate throughout the tournament was minimal.

Sabrina also showed remarkable composure when entrusted with the last kick in the final’s penalty shoot-out against Jakarta; her successful penalty ensured Kudus retained the MLSC All-Stars 2026 title. For Jacksen, taking responsibility at a crucial moment shows she has the mental quality needed to compete at international level.

Taking part in SingaCup 2026 is expected to be a valuable experience for the young Indonesian players. The international tournament brings together football academies from several countries, giving the players a chance to measure themselves and gain more experience.

MLSC itself is a girls’ football development programme initiated by the Bakti Olahraga Djarum Foundation, designed to produce young Indonesian talent through tiered competition from an early age.
