Dean James optimistic about Indonesia’s World Cup 2026 qualification chances

Go Ahead Eagles player Dean James shares his perspective on the 2026 World Cup Qualification draw — Indonesia is placed in Group B alongside Saudi Arabia and Iraq, as reported by Bolasport.com.

The Garuda squad is scheduled to begin their campaign against hosts Saudi Arabia on October 8, 2025 — followed by a match against Iraq three days later.

Dean James expresses his optimism about Indonesia’s chances — Patrick Kluivert’s team must finish top of the group to secure direct qualification to the 2026 World Cup.

The 25-year-old player believes Indonesia has a good opportunity to qualify — based on their positive record in previous matches against Saudi Arabia.
