(The Young Garuda) Merah Putih (The Red and White) (Football Association of Indonesia) | Sub-confederation = AFF (Southeast Asia) (Jakarta, Indonesia; 2 May 1986) (Tehran, Iran; 28 October 2012) (Nagoya, Japan; 25 June 2000) Indonesia national under-17 football team represents Indonesia in international football competitions such as FIFA U-17 World Cup, AFC U-17 Asian Cup, ASEAN U-16 Boys Championship, and any other under-17 international football tournaments. It is controlled by the Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI).

Recent history

The team won the AFF U-16 Youth Championship twice, in 2018 and 2022. They qualified for the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup as a replacement for Peru, whose hosting rights were withdrawn in April 2023. This was the first ever FIFA tournament hosted by the country, its only third FIFA tournament ever, 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. He then scored the equaliser in the second match against Panama. Nabil Asyura scored the consolation goal in 3–1 defeat against Morocco, which concluded their participation.

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.

Indonesia were drawn to Group H alongside four-time champions Brazil, tournament debutants Zambia, and CONCACAF representatives Honduras. Zahaby Gholy opened the scoring in the first game, but Zambia then made a comeback to win 3–1. Against Brazil, they were dismantled 4–0. In the third group match, Evandra Florasta scored Indonesia's first goal from a penalty kick. Honduras quickly equalised via the same manner. Fadly Alberto then scored Indonesia's first ever second goal in a FIFA tournament, securing Indonesia's first ever win at any FIFA tournament, which was also Southeast Asia's first win in a FIFA men's football tournament match.
