Plans after the 2025 edition

Chairman Erick Thohir stated that the expanded format was intended to provide broader competitive opportunities and support youth development across Indonesia, emphasising that Liga Nusantara and Liga 4 teams will be involved with potential requirements for increased youth participation, as part of efforts to strengthen grassroots football.[2]
