From Dreams to Goals: Indonesia’s starlet aiming for the stars

Following the journey of the AFC Women's Asian Cup Qualifiers, From Dreams to Goals takes you deep behind the headlines to explore the stories from nations aspiring to qualify for the tournament in Australia next year.

Each week From Dreams to Goals will focus on delving deep and telling the story of women's football in countries from Saudi Arabia to India, from Indonesia to Nepal and everywhere in between, talking to players, coaches and journalists to explore the unique story of each country as they drive forward on the road to the AFC Women's Asian Cup Australia 2026.

This week we focus on Indonesia, a nation obsessed with football where women's football is still in a slumber.

Despite their players being major celebrities with hundreds of thousands of followers on social media, the game still struggles with it being one of the very few nations without a domestic women's league.

We are joined by one of the superstars of the side, 16-year-old Claudia Scheunemann, for a chat about football, fandom and the future.
