Prediction for Indonesia’s 2026 World Cup Qualification Chances Not Promising

According to Football Meets Data analysis, the Indonesia National Team‘s chances of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup appear less promising — despite Patrick Kluivert‘s squad still having a mathematical possibility.

Currently, Indonesia sits in fourth place in Group C of the third round of the 2026 World Cup Asian Qualifiers, with 9 points from 8 matches. The Garuda squad trails Saudi Arabia by one point in third place and stands four points behind second-placed Australia.

Group C consists of Asia’s powerhouse teams:

• Japan

• Australia

• Saudi Arabia

• Bahrain

• China

To advance to the fourth round, the team featuring Jay Idzes needs to finish in third or fourth position. However, based on data and statistical calculations — Indonesia is predicted to fall short of reaching the 2026 World Cup finals.

With only a few matches left to play, Indonesia must secure crucial victories against higher-ranked opponents — while relying on favorable results from other fixtures to keep their qualification hopes alive.
