2. Mochizuki Speaks Out on Indonesian Women's National Team Elimination in 2026 AFC Women's Asian Cup Qualifiers
The Indonesian women's national football team has been eliminated from the 2026 AFC Women's Asian Cup qualifiers. They lost 1-2 to Taiwan in the final match of Group D at Indomilk Arena, Tangerang Regency, on Saturday, July 5, 2025.
The coach of the Indonesian women's national team, Satoru Mochizuki, praised his players' performance despite the loss to Taiwan. "We thought the game would be dominated by them, but it turns out we played well and were able to put up a good fight," said the Japanese coach at a press conference after the match.
"So today the players were more daring to build attacks, play forward, take chances, and shoot," he said.
When asked why his team performed better against Taiwan, ranked 42nd in the world, than when playing against Pakistan, ranked 157th in the world, Mochizuki said it was a common occurrence in football.
3. Pacu Jalur 2025 Expects Surge of Spectators Following Viral "Aura Farming" Boat Race Videos
The Riau Provincial Tourism Office is optimistic that the Pacu Jalur 2025 event, which is scheduled to be held on August 20-24, 2025, at Tepian Narosa, Teluk Kuantan, Kuantan Singingi (Kuansing), Riau, will see a surge in visitors.
This is driven by the growing popularity of Pacu Jalur after the "aura farming" video of the boat race participants attracted global attention on social media.
The viral phenomenon of aura farming is associated with the performance of young dancers in the traditional boat race of Pacu Jalur. The performance has gained worldwide recognition under various titles, including "Boat Kid Aura Farming" and "Aura Farming Kid on the Boat."
This phenomenon has sparked the curiosity of netizens from various countries. Many international TikTok users have created meme videos imitating the cool or badass movements of the young rowers on the "jalur," locally known as the distinctive wooden long boats of Kuantan Singingi, Riau.
The video is accompanied by the song "Young Black & Rich" by Melly Mike, which adds to the energetic atmosphere.
