Recent history

The team won the AFF U-16 Youth Championship twice, in 2018 and 2022. [1] They qualified for the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup as a replacement for Peru, whose hosting rights were withdrawn in April 2023. [2] [3] This was the first ever FIFA tournament hosted by the country, its only third FIFA tournament ever, [a] and the first since 1979, when their U-20 team played at the FIFA World Youth Championship as the second Asian team, replacing three 1978 AFC Youth Championship semi-finalists who forfeited.

The team started the tournament by scoring the country's first ever goal at a FIFA tournament courtesy of Arkhan Kaka in the match against Ecuador. They conceded an equaliser later, but managed to become the first Southeast Asian country to both score a goal and avoid defeat at a FIFA men's football tournament match. [b] He then scored the equaliser in the second match against Panama. Nabil Asyura scored the consolation goal in defeat against Morocco, which concluded their participation. [4]

The team then qualified for the 2025 AFC U-17 Asian Cup, in which their victory against South Korea and Yemen secured their qualification to the expanded 48-team FIFA U-17 World Cup, the country's first successful qualification campaign to a FIFA tournament. [c] [5] [6]
