Indonesia, led by coach Shin Tae-yong, will meet Uzbekistan to advance to the finals of the 2024 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U23 Asian Cup.

Uzbekistan won 2-0 against Saudi Arabia in the quarterfinals of the tournament held at the Khalifa International Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar on the 27th (Korean time) and succeeded in advancing to the semifinals.

With this, the semifinals of this tournament were completed. Indonesia, who defeated ‘Hwang Seon-hong’ Korea in a penalty shootout, will face Uzbekistan at 11 PM on the 29th to advance to the finals.

The other semifinal match, Japan-Iraq, will be held at Al Rayyan at 2:30 a.m. on the 30th.

This competition also serves as an Asian regional qualifier for the 2024 Paris Olympics. The top three teams advance to the finals, and the fourth-place team must play in a playoff against Guinea in Africa.

Indonesia, who entered the U23 Asian Cup finals for the first time, defeated Korea and advanced to the semifinals, and despite being eliminated, is aiming to advance to the finals for the first time in 68 years since the 1956 Melbourne Olympics.

If Indonesia defeats Uzbekistan, they will automatically get a ticket to Paris, and even if they lose, they will compete with the loser of the Japan-Iraq game for a direct ticket to Paris.

The team that lost in the 3rd place match (4th place) will play a final match against Guinea in France on the 9th of next month to advance to the finals.

In the match between powerhouses Uzbekistan and Saudi Arabia in the finals of the last tournament, Uzbekistan won a complete victory. In the finals of the 2022 tournament, Saudi Arabia defeated Uzbekistan and came out on top.

Uzbekistan succeeded in taking the lead with Husain Norchaev’s first goal in extra time in the first half.

Then, in the 25th minute of the second half, Uzbekistan gained a numerical advantage due to Saudi defender Ayman Yahya’s accumulated warnings, and in the 39th minute of the second half, Umarali Rakhmonaliyev scored a goal with a header.

Uzbekistan, the champion of the 3rd competition held in China in 2018, is aiming for its second title.
