3rd and 4th place match against Iraq on the 3rd of next month

Indonesia coach Shin Tae-yong, who failed to advance to the finals of the 2024 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U-23 Asian Cup by losing to Uzbekistan, pledged to advance to the Paris Olympics through the 3rd and 4th place match.

Shin Tae-yong lost 0-2 in the semifinals of the '2024 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U-23 Asian Cup' against Uzbekistan held at the Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium in Doha, Qatar on the 29th (Korean time).

Coach Shin said through AFC after the game, “Our players fought hard. It was a good game. “There are some regrets, but I congratulate Uzbekistan for doing well and winning,” he said. “There is still a chance. “We will prepare better for the 3rd and 4th place matches so that we can go to the Olympics.”

This U-23 Asian Cup also serves as the final Asian qualifier for men's soccer at the Paris Olympics, which will open in July. 스포츠 토토사이트

A total of 3.5 tickets are given to Asian countries, allowing up to 3 places in the competition to go directly to Paris.

If they rank 4th, they can confirm their advancement to the Olympics by playing an intercontinental playoff (PO) against Guinea, the 4th place team in the African preliminary round.

Indonesia, which lost that day, will play Iraq, which lost to Japan, in the 3rd and 4th place match at Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium at 0:30 on the 3rd of next month. Coach Shin said, “I believe in our players, and I also believe in myself. “Our team is confident that they can participate in the Olympics,” he said emphatically. “The players are very tired, so we will rest and prepare (for the Iraq match) with a fresh mind.” If Indonesia participates in the Paris Olympics as coach Shin wishes, it will be the first time in 68 years since the Melbourne Games in 1956 that the country will qualify for the Olympics. 일본야동
