PSSI Prepares Indonesia Squad for China and Japan Clash

Yunus Nusi, Secretary General of PSSI, revealed that PSSI is finalizing preparations for the Indonesia national football team ahead of two crucial fixtures in the third round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Asian Qualifiers.

The Indonesia national football team is set to face two tough opponents — China on June 5 and Japan on June 10, 2025. These matches will determine Indonesia‘s chances of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.

With less than two months to prepare, PSSI must move quickly to ensure the national team is ready. The challenge is even greater as the fixtures fall near the end of the domestic league season, which could impact the players’ physical condition.

Winning both matches is crucial for Indonesia — either to secure direct qualification or to continue the journey through the fourth-round qualifiers.
