Jakarta, Beritasatu.com – The Borneo FC club confirmed its decision not to release its players for the U-23 Indonesian National Team which will compete in the 2024 U-23 Asian Cup.

The club from East Kalimantan stated the reason that they need all players to maintain performance in League 1 and prepare the team for the Championship Series.

Borneo FC manager, Dandri Dauri, in his statement on social media on Monday (19/2/2024) stated that the club still needs contributions from a number of players to maintain the top position in the League 1 standings, so that they can advance to the Championship Series with a complete squad. .

“We know that an athlete's best achievement is when he can defend the national team,” wrote Borneo FC Manager, Dandri Dauri.

Regarding rumors of Shin Tae-yong's interest in three Borneo FC players, namely Fajar Fathurrahman, Komang Teguh Trisnanda, and M Taufani, the club remains firm in its decision.

Borneo FC currently sits at the top of the Liga 1 standings with 54 points from 16 wins, six draws and only two defeats in the competition.

With 10 matches remaining, Borneo FC is a strong candidate to advance to the last four and compete for a place in the Championship Series.
