In the case of the 2023 U-20 World Cup, it could refer to the 2022 U-20 Women’s World Cup above. Most of the players on Bima Sakti’s U-16 youth team will likely make up the Indonesian squad at the 2023 U-20 World Cup.

Nico is a new player for the U19 team who was selected from the 30-player list to undergo the TC Spain. Meanwhile, Erlangga was with the U19 team when TC was in Croatia a few months ago.
