In this list, there are 2 players over 21 years old: defender Pratama Arhan (born in 2001) and Asnawi Mangkualam (born in 1999).
The remaining players were all born after 2003, the youngest being striker Arkhan Kaka (born in 2007).
The decision to call up young players is part of coach Shin Tae-yong's plan. This was done in the context of the team missing many key players, most of whom are players of Dutch origin, because the AFF Cup is not an official FIFA tournament, so clubs do not have to release players.
President of the Indonesian Football Federation (PSSI) - Mr. Erick Thohir said that this is an opportunity for young players to test themselves and gradually replace their seniors, while also preparing for the 33rd SEA Games.
The Indonesian team will be missing 19 players, including important names such as goalkeeper Maarten Paes, defenders Jay Idzes, Rizky Ridho, Calvin Verdonk, Sandy Walsh, midfielders Thom Haye, Nathan Tjoe-A-On and striker Ragnar Oratmangoen, all of whom were members of the 2-0 victory over Saudi Arabia in the sixth match of the 2026 World Cup third qualifying round in Asia on November 19.
The Indonesian team will begin training on November 26. Coach Shin Tae-yong and his team have 13 days to prepare for the opening match in Group B of the 2024 AFF Cup against Myanmar on December 9.
After that, the team will meet Laos (December 12), Vietnam (December 15) and the Philippines (December 21).
