Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
Football is complex because it involves physical aspects, technical competence, the ability to understand tactics, and psy-chological conditions. This study focuses on exploring the psychological characteristics needed by U17 football players in Indonesia and Malaysia to become professional football players in the future. The researcher used a qualitative method with a grounded theory ap-proach to find these psychological characteristics. The researcher conducted interviews, observations, and document analysis to collect data from  25 football coaches in Indonesia and Malaysia who  already have a football coaching license and have at least five years of experience as U17 football coaches who were participants in this study. The license and knowledge ofthe coaches are expected to be valuable sources of information in this study. The data collected were analyzed through several steps, starting from open coding, axial coding, and selective coding, to find themes that emerged from the coach's information. In addition, to facilitate data grouping, the researcher  also  conducted  data  analysis  with  the  help  of  software  in  qualitative  research,  namely  NVivo  14.  This  study  found five psychological characteristics that can help U17 football players to rise professionally. The first characteristic is the cognitive aspect of the player's intellectual ability, goal setting, imagery, focus, and willingness. Second, affective factors involve self-confidence, happi-ness, motivation, and self-control. Third, behavioral factors include discipline, attitude, commitment, and respect. Fourth, personality factors include courage, adaptability, and mental toughness. The last factor is the spiritual aspect, which requires players to have ritual and social worship. The psychological element is not the main factor in the success of football players, but it is a determining factor. With the development of scientific collaboration for football, football coaches or stakeholders in Indonesia and Malaysia canuse the results of this studyas a basis for creating programs for the development of football in both countries.
