Takuma Asano Hits Top Form Ahead of World Cup Qualifier vs Indonesia

According to Bolasport.com, Takuma Asano has been putting on impressive performances in La Liga — just in time for Japan’s upcoming clash against Indonesia in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers.

The Indonesian national team, or Garuda squad, still has two important fixtures left in the Asia Zone Group C third round:

Indonesia vs China at Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium – June 5, 2025
Indonesia vs Japan at Saitama Stadium – June 10, 2025

The showdown with Japan is expected to be one of the toughest for Indonesia — despite recent improvements from naturalized players in the squad.

With his sharp pace, clinical finishing, and growing confidence, Takuma Asano is viewed as one of Japan’s key threats. The 30-year-old striker has been delivering standout displays for his club, catching the attention of analysts ahead of the high-stakes fixture.

Indonesia’s defense will need to stay sharp if they hope to contain him.
