Indonesia just suffered a heavy 1-5 defeat against Iraq on November 16. The defeat in Basra (Iraq) put the team from the archipelago in a position where they must defeat the Philippines in order to pursue a ticket to the third qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup in Asia.

Learning from the loss to Iraq, coach Shin Tae Yong shared: "I reminded the players not to make more mistakes, especially mistakes like the way we conceded from the first to the third goal in the match against Iraq."
"I know Indonesian fans are looking forward to the next match against the Philippines. I also know that the Philippines uses Rizal Memorial Stadium which has artificial turf, not natural grass. Therefore, Indonesia will prepare carefully for the upcoming match.
I let my players do recovery exercises and get used to the artificial turf," coach Shin Tae Yong continued to reveal.
Indonesia has now arrived in Manila, Philippines. The archipelago nation is the only team in Group F that has to play its first two matches away from home. On the other hand, the Philippines is the only team that has played its first two matches in this group at home.
