“Thank you to the Indonesian people for your support. We are the champions,” said Indonesia’s captain, Viny Silfianus Sunaryo, in a video posted on the official Instagram account @timnasindonesia on Friday. Viny’s message was echoed by her teammates, including Gea Yumanda, Estella Loupattij, and others, who celebrated the victory with cheers of joy.
What Viny conveyed was also shared by fellow “Garuda Pertiwi” players such as Sydney Hopper, Katarina Stalin, and Claudia Scheunemann, who all expressed their thanks, saying, “Thank you for the support. Champions.”
The 3-1 win over Cambodia in the final marked Indonesia’s first-ever title in the AFF Women’s Cup. Reva Octaviani starred in the match, scoring twice (19′ and 58′). Sydney Hopper added another goal for Indonesia (35′), while Cambodia managed to pull one back through Hok Saody (32′).
