Butolpost – New hope for Indonesian girls’ football has been lit once again. MilkLife Soccer Challenge (MLSC) All-Stars head coach Jacksen Tiago, together with Tino Scheunemann, officially announced the U-12 and U-14 squads who will carry the Red and White at SingaCup 2026 in Singapore, from October to November.
The announcement was made at the closing of MLSC All-Stars 2026 at Supersoccer Arena in Kudus on Sunday (28/6/2026), after a rigorous selection process involving the best talents from across Indonesia.
Jacksen explained that the players were chosen not just on the number of goals or eye-catching performances during the tournament, but also on long-term potential, playing intelligence and the ability to make decisions under pressure.
We chose players based on their performance during the tournament and their potential to develop in the future.

A total of 16 players made the U-12 squad, while 18 were chosen for the U-14 squad. They come from cities including Kudus, Jakarta, Surabaya, Malang, Solo, Semarang, Tangerang, Bandung, Bekasi, Yogyakarta, Samarinda and Banjarmasin.
One player who drew special attention was Sabrina Dwi Ristiyana of Kudus. Although she did not score in the final, Sabrina was judged to have been dominant, with a very low error rate throughout the tournament.
According to Jacksen, a player’s quality is not always measured by the number of goals, but by contribution in building play and composure under pressure.
Sabrina showed extraordinary quality. She also succeeded as the last taker in the penalty shoot-out that made Kudus champions. That is what we are looking for.

Taking part in SingaCup 2026 is expected to be a valuable international experience for the young players, and part of long-term development towards a future Indonesian women’s national team.
