JAKARTA, iNews.id – PSSI request Indonesian National Team sweep the remaining four home games in the third round World Cup Qualification Asia zone 2026.

Being in Group C, the Garuda Team has played four matches in the third round. As a result, Shin Tae-yong's troops (STY) drew three times against Saudi Arabia (1-1), Australia (0-0), and Bahrain (2-2), and lost once to China (1-2).

As a result, the Indonesian national team was left in fifth place while Group C had three points, the same as China's score in the bottom position.

However, the Garuda Team's chance is still open because it is only two points different from Australia, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain in second, third and fourth place. Meanwhile Japan still dominates the top with 10 points.

According to regulations, the top two teams will qualify directly for the tournament 2026 World Cup. Meanwhile, those ranked fourth and fourth will continue their struggle to the fourth round.

For this reason, the Indonesian national team must be able to maximize the remaining six matches. Of the remaining six matches, four of them will be held at home.

“Let's just count. Our count is like this, we only have 6 games left, 4 home games and 2 away games. And the away games are in Japan and Australia. So these 4 (as hosts) have to get points, right? “Against Bahrain, against China, we hope to get full points,” said Arya in Jakarta, Wednesday (30/10/2024) yesterday.

“That (against China and Bahrain at home) is not necessarily over, right? And then we have to be full too because we lost against China. Is that true? “We lost against China,” he said.

“If we don't want (difficulties), we in Saudi Arabia also have to be full, whether we like it or not. Japan, yes, we have to get it, hopefully we can get points. “So we can enter the top 4,” added the man with glasses.
