Indonesian Football Federation President prays Messi will come to Indonesia

" This is a real match between the Indonesian and Argentinian national teams. So I pray that Messi will fly to Indonesia, land here, and play with us. That's all I can do, " said Erick Thohir, President of the Indonesian Football Federation, in response to questions from the Indonesian media.

Messi is currently training with the Argentine national team in China in preparation for their match against Australia. However, Argentine media reports suggest that Messi will leave the team after this game.

" Messi has arrived in Beijing and created a revolution. But Messi will only play against Australia and has no plans to play against Indonesia on June 19th ," ESPN journalist Leo Paradize shared on his personal page.

Messi is unlikely to participate in the match against the Indonesian national team.

According to several sources, Messi wants to return home early to enjoy a short vacation with his family. After that, he will prepare to travel to the United States to join Inter Miami. This news has disappointed Indonesian fans, many of whom were willing to spend a lot of money on tickets just to see the former Barcelona star in person.

The Indonesian Football Federation spent $5 million to invite the Argentinian national team, promising that their partner would bring their strongest squad to the match. Erick Thohir hopes that fans won't focus too much on Messi's presence, but rather on the goal of improving the quality and ranking of the Indonesian national team in the FIFA rankings.

" Sometimes people focus too much on the Argentinian team without realizing that the Palestinian team is also a strong opponent. With FIFA Days like this, I hope we can improve our ranking, boost our morale, and show everyone that Indonesian football has woken up from its long slumber ," Thohir expressed.
