Accompanying Shin Tae-yong, president of the Inni Football Association, until 2027

"We discussed the national team program until 2027 and decided to work together," Chairman Tohir posted a photo of him shaking hands with Shin Tae-yong in the background of a Korean restaurant on SNS on the 25th.

The Indonesian Football Association has yet to make an official announcement. However, as Tohir himself made the announcement, coach Shin Tae-yong and the Indonesian team will likely continue to accompany him.

Coach Shin Tae-yong, who has been at the helm of the Indonesian national team since 2019, proved his leadership by finishing second in the AFF Suzuki Cup, which ran from late 2021 to early 2022.

Coach Shin Tae-yong then injected his color into Indonesia. Things that were not in Indonesia began to appear one by one, including tight two-line defense, constant line spacing, fast transitions, and elaborate passes. After advancing to the round of 16 at the 2023 Asian Cup, he advanced to the quarterfinals at the 2024 U-23 Asian Cup. Now, he will face South Korea on the 26th for a place in the semifinals.

Against this backdrop, Tohir announced the renewal of his contract with Shin Tae-yong. Although the Indonesian Football Association has not made an official announcement yet, Shin Tae-yong and the Indonesian national team will continue to accompany him.

Notably, Tohir's announcement is interpreted as a strategy to boost the morale of the Indonesian U-23 team just one day before the match against Korea. Indonesia is making its first bid to advance to the Olympics finals since the 1956 Melbourne Games. If the team loses the match against Korea, its challenge will fail, and if it advances to the semifinals, it will be very close to qualifying for the Paris Olympics.

Meanwhile, South Korea, led by Hwang Sun-hong, and Indonesia, led by Shin Tae-yong, will play in the quarterfinals of the AFC U-23 Asian Cup at 2:30 a.m. on the 26th at Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium in Doha, Qatar.
