Indonesia has 9 points, ranked 4th in Group C of the 3rd qualifying round, while China has 6 points, ranked last in the group. If Indonesia wins against China, the archipelago team will definitely qualify for the 4th qualifying round. If Indonesia loses, they will be caught up by China.

The team that makes it to the 4th qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup in Asia will have the opportunity to participate in the final round of the world championship next year. The team that is eliminated after the 3rd qualifying round will officially end its game.

Because of the importance of the match, Indonesian audiences are very interested in the match at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium.

According to the announcement from PSSI, all tickets to watch the match between Indonesia and the Chinese team on June 5 have been sold out.

The Gelora Bung Karno Stadium has a capacity of more than 77,000 people, but the match organizers were only allowed to issue about 66,000 tickets. The reason is that the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) banned Indonesian fans from sitting in the two stands at the North and South, behind the two ends of the goals.

This is to ensure the safety of the visiting team, and at the same time, it reduces the capacity of the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium by about 15%. Currently, about 66,000 of the above tickets have been distributed, although the match is still half a month away.
