Pakistan coach criticizes Indonesia’s naturalized women players

Pakistan women’s coach Adeel Mirza Riski criticized Indonesia’s naturalized players who were deemed inexperienced after the match at Indomilk Arena Stadium, Tangerang.

Indonesia women’s national team suffered a 0-2 defeat against Pakistan in their second Group D match of the 2026 Women’s Asian Cup Qualifiers — despite dominating throughout the game.

Saturo Mochizuki‘s team relied on several naturalized players in this match:

• Iris de Rouw
• Emily Nahon
• Felicia de Zeeuw
• Sydney Hooper
• Isa Warps

The Garuda Pertiwi squad managed to control the game by keeping possession in Pakistan’s defensive area — but failed to convert their dominance into goals.
