TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Indonesian Women's National Team expressed their deep gratitude to the nation following their historic victory in the 2024 AFF Women's Cup. The team defeated Cambodia 3-1 in a final match held at the New Laos National Stadium in Vientiane on Thursday, December 5, 2024, securing their first-ever title in the tournament.
“Thank you to the Indonesian people for their support. We are champions!” exclaimed Captain Viny Silfianus Sunaryo in a video message posted on the @timnasindonesia Instagram account on Friday.
Her teammates, including Gea Yumanda, Estella Loupattij, Sydney Hopper, Katarina Stalin, and Claudia Scheunemann, echoed Viny's sentiments, celebrating the victory with cheers of joy.
Reva Octaviani was the star of the match, scoring two goals in the 19th and 58th minutes. Sydney Hopper added another goal for Indonesia in the 35th minute, while Cambodia scored a consolation goal through Hok Saody in the 32nd minute.
Reva's exceptional performance earned her the prestigious title of Best Player of the Tournament. She also emerged as the top scorer with three goals, sharing the honor with Cambodia's Poeurn Kunthea.
Furthermore, goalkeeper Laita Masykuroh was recognized for her outstanding performance throughout the tournament, receiving the Best Goalkeeper award. Laita played a crucial role in the team's success, conceding only one goal throughout the competition.
Erick Thohir, the Chair of the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI), expressed his pride in the team's achievement. "CHAMPIONS. The women's national team won the 2024 AFF Women's Cup title after winning 3-1 over Cambodia in the final. Congratulations,” he stated via his official Instagram account on Thursday.
