U-23 Indonesian National Team
will meet Mali U-23 in a trial match at Pakansari Stadium, Saturday (15/11).What is the FIFA ranking of the Mali national team?
Currently the senior Mali national team is ranked 53rd in the world.This is the latest ranking released by FIFA on 17 October 2025. The ranking can indicate the level of Mali U-23 football.
Meanwhile, Indonesia is in 122nd place.Indonesia’s position was left outside the top 100 in the world because it had difficulty recovering after being sanctioned by FIFA in 2015.

However, this shows that the level of Indonesian football is still lagging behind.However, for the age level, there is still the potential for Indonesia U-23 to make a surprise.
At the senior level, for example, Indonesia had penetrated the fourth phase of the 2026 World Cup Qualifications. In that phase, Indonesia was the only team outside the top 100 in FIFA.
In fact, in the third phase of qualifying, Indonesia was able to beat teams ranked far above, such as Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, China, including matching Australia.
This is a sign that Indonesia U-23 can also match Mali U-23.Moreover, Mali U-23 also does not have a routine agenda after appearing at the 2024 U-23 Africa Cup of Nations.
Before this trial, Indonesia U-23 had played two trial matches.The team coached by Indra Sjafri lost 1-2 to India U-23 and then drew 1-1 against the same team last October.
