A piece of good news is still coming to the U-23 Indonesian National Team amidst the bad weather that comes and goes during the preparation period for the 2024 U-23 Asian Cup.
The Indonesian U-23 national team has the opportunity to be strengthened by Marselino Ferdinan in the U-23 Asian Cup. The midfielder from KMSK Deinze in the Belgian League will join in the near future.
The Indonesian U-23 national team is currently undergoing a training camp in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), on April 1-10 2024 before competing in the Qatar U-23 Asian Cup.
Marselino Ferdinan was indeed unable to attend the U-23 Indonesian National Team training camp for the U-23 Asian Cup from the start. However, the 19 year old player will join on April 8 2024.
Marselino Ferdinand’s Situation
The U-23 Asian Cup will be held on April 15-May 3 2024. The Indonesian U-23 national team is in Group A with the hosts Qatar U-23 National Team, Australian U-23 National Team and Jordan U-23 National Team.
A schedule conflict between the Belgian League and the U-23 Indonesian National Team training camp in Dubai is believed to mean that Marselino Ferdinan still has to stay at KMSK Deinze.
If you look at the schedule for the second caste of competition in Belgium, KMSK Deinze still needs Marselino Ferdinan to face FCV Dender in week 28 at the DENDER Football Complex, Denderleeuw, on Saturday (6/4/2024).
Nathan Tjoe-A-On Cancels, Justin Hubner Hasn’t Arrived Yet
“Marselino Ferdinan has not yet come to Dubai. However, if nothing changes, he will join the U-23 Indonesian National Team on April 8 2024,” said the assistant coach of the U-23 Indonesian National Team, Nova Arianto, to Bola.com , Friday (5 /4/2024).
Marselino Ferdinan’s future presence in the Indonesian U-23 National Team could be a glimmer of hope after Nathan Tjoe-A-On was unable to join and the fate of Justin Hubner is still mysterious.
Nathan Tjoe-A-On is certain to be absent from strengthening the U-23 Indonesian National Team in the U-23 Asian Cup because he was not released by the Dutch club, SC Heerenveen. Meanwhile, Justin Hubner has not been allowed to leave by the Japanese team, Cerezo Osaka.
