Timnas Indonesia Tanpa Wakil di AFC Awards 2025, Andalan Malaysia Masuk Nominasi Terbaik

Suara.com - Pemain Timnas Indonesia sama sekali tidak ada yang masuk dalam daftar nominasi penerima penghargaan Konfederasi Sepak Bola Asia (AFC). Menariknya, ada satu pemain Malaysia bisa masuk dalam daftar.

Dia adalah Arif Aiman yang masuk nominasi pemain terbaik Asia AFC 2025. Dalam rilis yang diterima Suara.com, ia bersaing dengan pemain Qatar Akram Afid dan kapten Arab Saudi Salem Al Dawsari.

Arif Aiman memang tampil luar biasa. Ia tampil apik bersama timnya Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT).

AFC membedakan antara Pemain Terbaik Asia dengan Pemain Terbaik Asia di Panggung Internasional.

Nah, untuk di level ini AFC memberikan penghargaan khusus bagi pemain-pemain Asia yang bermain di luar benua Asia.

Ada tiga nama yang masuk dalam nominasi pemain terbaik Asia di panggung internasional.

Mereka adalah Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Geramin (PSG)/Korea Selatan), Mehdi Taremi (Inter Milan, Olympiacos/Iran), dan Takefusa Kubo (Real Sociedad/Jepang).
