Recent history

The team won the AFF U-16 Youth Championship twice, in 2018 and 2022.^[1] They qualified for the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup as a replacement for Peru, whose hosting rights were withdrawn in April 2023.^[2][3] This was the first ever FIFA tournament hosted by the country, its only third FIFA tournament ever,^[a] and the first since 1979, when their U-20 team played at the FIFA World Youth Championship as the second Asian team, replacing three 1978 AFC Youth Championship semi-finalists who forfeited.

The team started the tournament by scoring the country's first ever goal at a FIFA tournament courtesy of Arkhan Kaka in the match against Ecuador. They conceded an equaliser later, but managed to become the first Southeast Asian country to both score a goal and avoid defeat at a FIFA men's football tournament match.^[b] He then scored the equaliser in the second match against Panama. Nabil Asyura scored the consolation goal in defeat against Morocco, which concluded their participation.^[4]

The team then qualified for the 2025 AFC U-17 Asian Cup, in which their victory against South Korea and Yemen secured their qualification to the expanded 48-team FIFA U-17 World Cup, the country's first successful qualification campaign to a FIFA tournament.^[c][5][6]

Notes

1. Does not count the participation at the 1956 Summer Olympic football tournament; an Olympic football tournament is not considered as a FIFA tournament.
2. Malaysia lost all three group stage matches at the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship; Thailand lost all three group stage matches at the 1997 and 1999 FIFA U-17 World Championships; Myanmar lost all three group stage matches at the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup; Vietnam's only point at the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup came from a 0–0 draw.
3. In the 1938 FIFA World Cup, the then-Dutch East Indies replaced Japan who withdrew; the 1979 one already mentioned above.
