This was revealed by Ha Hyeok Jun after Laos held Indonesia 0-0 in the inaugural match of the 2026 Asian U-23 Asian Cup J group at the Gelora Delta Sidoarjo Stadium on Wednesday (3/9).
“If we want to build a team as I want, it takes longer, at least a few years. Now this is only a short -term solution to get results. But for long -term projects, we have to build young players, strengthen the basis of techniques, build formations, and their tactics,” said Ha Hyeok Jun.
“Maybe in the next few years, we can hope to be at a level that is not the same as Indonesia, but at least one level below. That way we are no longer at the lowest level of Southeast Asia,” Ha Hyeok Jun added.
The South Korean coach stressed that Laos’s main target in the 2026 U-23 Asian Cup qualifiers was not to qualify for the finals, but to increase the flight hours of their young players.
“At present, our target is not qualifying for the finals, but to get a lot of experience. Maybe in the next 2 or 3 years we can expect more. For now, I think this team is still quite weak,” said Ha Hyeok Jun.
According to Ha Hyeok Jun, this is a realistic attitude given the condition of the development of young football in Laos which is still in the early stages.
“I like the Laos team, even though I am a head coach, I have to be honest. Our league is still in the development stage and the players are also very young, on average age 19.4 years,” said Ha Hyeok Jun.
“There are even players who entered the second half he was 17 years old. We had to start with them and look into the future,” Ha Hyeok Jun added.
