Scenario details
The final of an inter-school competition that should have been a stage for proving oneself instead turns into a source of injury. The main character is forced to play out of position due to the demands of Indonesia's current football tactical system. His team's defeat is not because he is incapable, but because he is not given the space to show his true talent. The defeat becomes the source of his downfall. However, a miracle arrives unnoticed. A mysterious invitation labeled Garuda's Divination draws him onto the path of destiny he has always dreamed of and promised to his grandfather, whom he holds dear.
In the second half of the 2019/2020 season, Indonesian football is in a state of crisis. However, amidst this crisis, a surprise emerges from one of Indonesia's clubs: Garuda Pelita FC, a new club owned by the Pelita Jaya Foundation, which has achieved consecutive promotions from League 4 to League 2 over two seasons. Now they sit at the top of the standings, just one step away from League 1. Being such a superior team naturally draws media attention to this club. But that is not what the coach is thinking about. As the remaining end of the season progresses, Dion Van Deijl decides to seek young talent through the Garuda's Divination Program. Its goal is to find young talents to be honed into the best players of the future and to pursue the dream of becoming world champions with Indonesia.
Garuda's Divination, a project to seek and nurture 220 young talents under 17 years old from all over Indonesia. They are randomly divided into 20 teams and compete in a strict internal league system. This program aims not only to form the main squad of Garuda Pelita FC but also to become a long-term project to create a golden generation for the Indonesian National Team, even opening opportunities for young players to break into European football.
