The Women’s Soccer Trilogy 2026 is a national and international championship series aimed at strengthening the ecosystem for women’s football in Indonesia.

JAKARTA, 21 June 2026 – Women’s Soccer Trilogy 2026 is about to roll. The three girls’ football tournaments are the MilkLife Soccer Challenge All-Stars U-12 (23-28 June), the HYDROPLUS Soccer League All-Stars U-15 & U-18 (5-12 July) and the Srikandi Merdeka Cup U-16 (14-23 August). All are held at Supersoccer Arena, Kudus, Central Java.

The Women’s Soccer Trilogy aims to build a platform for an integrated girls’ football development ecosystem. We want every player to have a complete development pathway, from an early age through competitive tournaments up to the professional level, so that they have a strong foundation for a football career in the future.

The Soccer Challenge is the first stage of the pathway. It introduces football to girls in the U-8, U-10 and U-12 age groups through fun tournaments in 12 host cities. Besides play and competition, it also serves as talent identification, finding promising players who receive further coaching through the Soccer Extra Training programme.

The players who show the best development and potential then get the chance to appear at the Soccer Challenge All-Stars, representing their cities. Beyond the national trophy, they will be watched by the talent-scouting team led by Timo Scheunemann and Jacksen F. Tiago, Head Coach of MLSC, to fill the Indonesian squad that will compete at SingaCup 2026.

After getting to know and sharpening their skills at MLSC, young athletes with the interest and talent are steered to join a football school (SSB). At the U-15 and U-18 level, the girls have a platform for competitive play in the Soccer League, held in four regions: Jakarta, Bandung, Kudus and Surabaya. This stage is an important bridge for young female players on the path to a professional career.

The winner and runner-up earn tickets to the national round against teams from the other regions at the Soccer League All-Stars. This is where the formation of the women’s national-team talent pool is made firmer. The scouting team will monitor players with the potential to join the two Indonesian squads for the Srikandi Merdeka Cup, where they will test themselves against six teams from other countries: Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore, Saudi Arabia and Jordan.

The Women’s Soccer Trilogy certainly has a positive impact in driving the local economy, especially through MSMEs. Good luck to all competing; we will welcome you warmly with the hospitality and beautiful culture of Kudus Regency.

Bellinda Birton, Deputy Regent of Kudus
