The 2018 PSSI Anniversary Cup was a four-team under-23 association football tournament held at Pakansari Stadium in Cibinong, Bogor Regency from 27 April until 3 May 2018.[1] The tournament was organised to commemorate the 88th anniversary of Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI).[2] Earlier, the tournament was expected to be kicked off on 28 April, however PSSI later changed it on 27 April due to Liga 1 matches that were to be held on that day.[3]

Bahrain emerged as the tournament champion with 7 points ahead of the rest of the teams.[4]

Participating nations[edit]

A total of four nations comprising host Indonesia, Bahrain, North Korea and Malaysia have earlier announced their participation in the tournament.[2][3][5] On 12 April 2018, Malaysia announced their withdrawal as the tournament date is coinciding with their league schedule that resulted in each of their players to be busy with their respective club matches that will prevent them from playing with the national team.[6][7] Two replacement candidates from Senegal and Uzbekistan are then called by PSSI,[8] with Thailand, Vietnam, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan being also decided as other potential candidates despite both Thailand and Vietnam having responded that their players were also busy with tight league schedules in their country.[9] The PSSI later decided Uzbekistan as the suitable replacement candidate.[9][10]
