China Faces Do-or-Die Match Against Indonesia in World Cup Qualifiers

The Chinese national team is set to face a crucial Group C clash against Indonesia in the third round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Asian Qualifiers. The match will take place at Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium, Jakarta — a venue known for its electrifying atmosphere.

History favors China, but form raises concern

Although China holds an unbeaten record against Indonesia, their current standing at the bottom of Group C puts them under immense pressure.

The “Team Dragon” enters this match with everything on the line, as a loss would eliminate them from contention — making their final game against Bahrain irrelevant.

Only wins can keep China’s World Cup hopes alive

China is already out of contention for second place, but can still aim for third or fourth — depending on results and goal difference.

To keep their campaign alive, they must win both remaining matches, starting with what could be a make-or-break encounter in Jakarta.
