Indonesia U-17’s Slim Hopes for World Cup Round of 32 After Dramatic Group Stage Win

Indonesia’s U-17 national team kept a faint chance of reaching the Round of 32 in the 2025 U-17 World Cup after closing their group stage with a tense victory over Honduras. The team’s fate, however, no longer lies solely in their own hands, as outcomes from other groups will ultimately decide their progression.

The match against Honduras ended 2-1, with Indonesia taking an early lead through a penalty before Honduras equalized. A late goal secured a dramatic win, allowing Indonesia to finish third in Group H with three points. Despite the victory, the team’s advancement depends entirely on results from other groups.

Brazil and Zambia drew 1-1 in their own high-stakes clash, with Brazil topping the group on goal difference. Both teams automatically advanced to the Round of 32, leaving Indonesia in ninth place among the best third-placed teams. Only the top eight third-placed teams qualify, making Indonesia’s chances extremely slim.

For Indonesia to progress, a near-impossible scenario must unfold: both Saudi Arabia and Paraguay must lose their final group matches by six goals or more. If such an unlikely sequence occurs, Indonesia could advance in a highly dramatic and unusual fashion, keeping the dream alive against all odds.
