“ All players must concentrate fully in the remaining matches. The Indonesian national team can gain points even though the opponent is very strong. I believe this is the time when the Indonesian team can qualify for the 2026 World Cup ,” former striker Rochy Putiray told Bola Indonesia .
Putiray is an Indonesian player. He decided to retire in 2007. Putiray is famous for his eccentric and colorful hairstyles. Although not a very famous name, this striker has scored 17 goals in 40 matches for the team of thousands of islands. At the age of 54, Mr. Putiray receives respect from fans.
The Indonesian team wants to participate in the 2026 World Cup.
According to the former Situbondo-born player, the Indonesian team needs to improve their counter-attacking efficiency. In recent matches, Thom Haye and his teammates have played well. Unfortunately, they have only drawn 3 matches and lost 1 match, ranking bottom of the table.
However, Indonesia still has many chances to continue. The 5th ranked team, China, has only 3 points. A series of 2nd, 3rd, 4th ranked teams in Group C all have only 5 points. In contrast, Japan shows stability with 10 points after 4 matches. In November, Indonesia will face Saudi Arabia and Japan.
After participating in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, coach Shin Tae-yong and his team continued to compete in the AFF Cup. The Indonesian team is in Group B with Vietnam, the Philippines, Myanmar, and Laos. The AFF Cup officially kicked off in mid-December. Group A includes Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia, and Timor Leste.
In the group stage, each team plays 2 home matches and 2 away matches. Coach Shin Tae-yong and his team will play away at My Dinh Stadium against Vietnam - the opponent considered the most difficult in the group with the team from the archipelago.
The group winners and runners-up advance to the semi-finals. In the semi-finals and finals, the teams play two knockout matches. There is no third-place match in the AFF Cup.
