Final Indonesia Squad vs Japan: 7 Big Names OUT!

The Indonesian national team has released the list of 23 players who will face Japan in the final match of the 2026 World Cup Asian Qualifiers. The match, held at Suita City Stadium, Osaka, on June 10, 2025, will determine Garuda’s path to the next round.

In this squad, the coach has blended talented young players with experienced veterans, ready to take on the strength of the Samurai Blue. Several regulars, such as Emil Audero in goal, Kevin Diks and Jay Idzes in defense, as well as Stefano Lilipaly and Beckham Putra in midfield, are included in the main squad. Meanwhile, players like Ivar Jenner and Rizky Ridho are absent due to card accumulation and injury.

Here is the complete list of 23 Indonesian national team players:

• Maarten Paes

• Emil Audero

• Ernando Ari

• Mees Hilgers

• Justin Hubner

• Jay Idzes

• Jordi Amat

• Calvin Verdonk

• Shayne Pattynama

• Marc Klok

• Ricky Kambuaya

• Stefano Lilipaly

The absence of several key players—Ivar (accumulation), Ridho (injury), Nadeo, Reza, Sananta, Arhan, and Asnawi—poses a unique challenge, but the presence of young stars and diaspora players is expected to provide a surprise. Full support from fans will be a crucial asset for Garuda to perform at their best against Japan.
