GBK Security Threatened Ahead of Crucial Indonesia vs China Match

According to BolaSport.com, tension erupted at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (GBK) as supporters tried to force entry ahead of the Indonesia vs China match in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers (Asian Zone).

The crowd surged forward, nearly breaking through the security barricade, prompting officials to reinforce measures just minutes before kickoff.

High-Stakes Match for Team Indonesia

This is the ninth match of Group C, with Indonesia, led by Patrick Kluivert, currently sitting fourth with nine points. The pressure is mounting, especially following Australia and Japan officially clinching their qualification tickets to the 2026 World Cup.

With only one qualification slot remaining, Team Indonesia must win to hold off China, coached by Branko Ivankovic, and Bahrain — both sitting just three points behind. The result could determine Indonesia’s journey to the next round.
