This left-back has an intelligent and calm playing style. Dony Tri Pamungkas' ability to support both attack and defense is very good. He will wear the captain's armband of the U20 Indonesia team to participate in the U20 Asian Cup. This is a suitable tournament for Dony Tri Pamungkas to show his talent."
Dony Tri Pamungkas was born on January 11, 2005. This player was once named in the Indonesian team roster for the 2024 AFF Cup. The 20-year-old left-back even started in the match against Vietnam in the group stage. Dony Tri Pamungkas is part of the squad planned to conquer the SEA Games and the U23 Asian Cup.
