Chinese fans try every way to enter Bung Karno Stadium, how can Indonesia stop them?
According to CNN Indonesia , 2,800 tickets as required by FIFA have been distributed to CFA to provide to Chinese fans, but will not meet all the demand. There are also many Chinese fans traveling in Southeast Asian countries who are also coming to Jakarta on this occasion, looking to buy tickets and find every way to enter Bung Karno Stadium to support the home team.

"There are more than 1,000 Chinese fans coming to Jakarta from countries in Southeast Asia. Not to mention many other places. Certainly, the 2,800 tickets as prescribed will not meet all the needs. It is possible that Chinese fans will buy black market tickets to enter Bung Karno Stadium, which promises to be a very fierce "fire pit" when Indonesian fans pledge to cover the entire stadium to put pressure on their opponents. It is very easy for violence to occur in the stands if Chinese fans do not sit in the right place," CNN Indonesia said.
China's 163.com also expressed concern about the heat of the match, thousands of Chinese fans trying to get to Jakarta and the possibility of entering Bung Karno Stadium with black market tickets .
The match between Indonesia and China will take place at 8:45 p.m. on June 5 at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, and will be decisive in the two teams' bid for a ticket to the 2026 World Cup.
In Group C of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Asia, the Chinese team is at the bottom of the table with 6 points. They no longer have a chance to compete for an official ticket to the final round, but still have a chance to compete for 3rd or 4th place to enter the 4th qualifying round to continue to nurture hope. Accordingly, coach Branko Ivankovic's team needs to win the remaining 2 matches against Indonesia and Bahrain (at 6:00 p.m. on June 10).

Meanwhile, the Indonesian team hopes to compete directly for a ticket to the 2026 World Cup, but it is very fragile. They also need to win the remaining two matches, including against China and Japan at 5:35 p.m. on June 10.
The Japanese team currently has 20 points to secure a ticket to the 2026 World Cup. In addition, the Indonesian team also depends on the results of competitors such as Australia (13 points, second place) and Saudi Arabia (third place, 10 points).
Therefore, the most likely goal of the Indonesian team is still to beat the Chinese team, to maintain the current 4th position in the 4th qualifying round to continue fighting for the goal of winning a ticket to the 2026 World Cup.
Coach Kluivert has seen the weakness of the Chinese team?
The Indonesian team has been training in Bali for the past few days. CNN Indonesia reported that coach Kluivert has focused on training the players to perform set pieces, including free kicks and free kick defenses. This includes simulated situations from corner kicks and direct free kicks.

"I don't want to go into detail about what we saw as strengths and weaknesses from the Chinese team's play. But I asked my players to practice more set pieces, taking advantage of available advantages, so that we can beat the opponent.
We need to practice more to really master all the situations that are expected to happen in the match. Only then will we be ready to face the Chinese team," coach Kluivert told the Indonesian press after the training session on June 1.
Coach Kluivert also emphasized: "We need the support of Indonesian fans. This is a key match, we want to continue the victory after the win over Bahrain (1-0 on March 25, also at Bung Karno Stadium), to continue the journey to find a ticket to the 2026 World Cup".
