Confirmed Lineups
The India U23 men’s football team is set to face Indonesia U23 in a pair of international friendlies on October 10 and 13, 2025, in Jakarta. These matches, scheduled during the FIFA International Match Window, will serve as crucial preparation for the young Blue Colts as they continue to build cohesion and gain international experience under head coach Naushad Moosa.
Following a brief yet intensive training camp in Bengaluru, the squad arrived in the Indonesian capital on October 8, looking to put their strategies into practice against a competitive opponent. Both matches will take place at the Gelora Bung Karno Madya Stadium, with kick-off set for 18:30 IST.
India’s 23-member squad features a mix of promising talent and emerging regulars from domestic football, including forwards Parthib Sundar Gogoi and Sreekuttan MS, midfielder Vibin Mohanan, and defender Bikash Yumnam. The team’s composition reflects Moosa’s focus on nurturing depth across all positions, combining technical skill, pace, and tactical discipline.
These encounters against Indonesia are expected to test India’s defensive organization and attacking fluidity, providing valuable insights for the coaching staff ahead of upcoming continental commitments. The fixtures also offer a platform for several players to stake their claim for future senior team opportunities.
