Thecuy.com, Surabaya – The 17‑year‑old Soekarno Cup tournament is held again with the backing of two Indonesian national team legends, Anang Maruf and Yusuf Ekodono, who joined the organizing committee. Their involvement is part of an effort to reinforce the youth player development ecosystem in Indonesia.

Anang Maruf, a former national team player with 31 appearances, regards youth development as a long‑term investment for domestic football. He contends that remote regions harbour great talent but seldom get the chance to compete in high‑caliber events. The Soekarno Cup is designed to broaden access and create a platform for these youngsters.
Anang also works as a spokesperson and monitor of player progress, and selects the man of the match for each match.

Focus on Competition and Strict Rules
Yusuf Ekodono, an ex‑national team forward and gold medallist at the 1991 SEA Games, praises the organisers for staying true to the tournament’s developmental purpose. He views the stringent rule that prevents entrants with experience in Liga 1, Liga 2, Liga 3 or the Elite Pro Academy (EPA) as vital to give a chance to players who have never appeared on a big stage.

Expanding Access and Opportunities for Young Talents
Because of Indonesia’s large archipelago, numerous young prospects are still out of reach of official tournaments. The Soekarno Cup is hoped to boost the odds of finding upcoming players who could reinforce the national side. Yusuf highlights that balanced development covering every area is crucial for enhancing Indonesia’s national team down the line.
Hope and Motivation for Participants
Anang and Yusuf’s involvement is expected to inspire and offer useful guidance to the players who are embarking on their football journeys. The organisers envision the event as a crucible where youthful talent can emerge, eventually honouring Indonesia by donning the Garuda shirt.
