jpnn.com – BANDUNG – Hundreds of 10-year-old children enthusiastically took part in the youth football development trials held by Neo Gen Football Academy.

The Bandung, West Java-based football academy is preparing young players to compete in the international tournament SingaCup in Singapore in November 2026.

Neo Gen Football Academy founder Rizky Bagja said the selection took place in two batches, on Friday (3/7/2026) and Sunday (5/7), at the PPI Pussenif field on Jalan Katamso, Bandung.

Rizky said that from the hundreds of participants, Neo Gen will narrow it down to 20 who will be taken to the SingaCup 2026 tournament. Players aged 15, meanwhile, will be prepared for a local tournament in Bali this coming September.

So Neo Gen will open the academy in stages. We won’t open every age group straight away; we want to give a structured concept, so we first prepare the components at the ages we consider able to give benefit.

The selection also involved former professional footballers up to Indonesia national team players, namely Sergio van Dijk and Dedi Kusnandar.
