FIFA ranked the Indonesian team 146th in the world, coach Shin Tae-yong was very upset.

According to the Footy Ranks website, the 1-3 loss to Japan on January 24 did not affect Indonesia's position on the FIFA rankings. The "Island of Ten Thousand Islands" team was only deducted 4.11 points and has a total ranking score of 1,072.66. Previously, the Indonesian team caused a surprise when defeating the Vietnamese team, helping them gain 23.18 points.

The Indonesian team is currently ranked 146th in the world . With this result, they are expected to rise 4 places, ranking 142nd in the rankings that FIFA will announce on February 15. At the same time, if they reach the round of 16 and play well, the Indonesian team's ranking can continue to improve.

Indonesian team performs positively at Asian Cup 2023

Although the Indonesian team has improved and shown a positive performance at the 2023 Asian Cup, coach Shin Tae-yong still expressed dissatisfaction with FIFA's ranking.

He frankly shared: “Leading one of the lowest-rated teams in the tournament is an interesting experience in my career. However, the Indonesian team is ranked 146th, which is unreasonable and unfair to the players. It does not reflect our true strength and performance.

The Indonesian team is one of the youngest teams, facing the strongest teams in Asia. The players played fair and gave them a lot of trouble. If we had been luckier, we could have finished the group stage of the 2023 Asian Cup with better results.

On a personal level, as a coach of Indonesia, it is clear that major tournaments leave an impression on me. The hope for the future development of the team is also strong. I believe the Indonesian team will bring more surprises in the future."

Coach Shin Tae-yong said that the Indonesian team's ranking of 146th is unfair to what he and his players have shown.

On the morning of January 25, CNN Indonesia also commented: “The Indonesian team is one of the 6 lowest-ranked countries competing in the 2023 Asian Cup. In May 2023, when the draw took place, the Indonesian team was even in the lowest position compared to the remaining 23 teams. At that time, the Indonesian team was in 149th place.

However, according to the FIFA rankings as of December 2023, the Indonesian team has climbed to 146th place. In contrast to us, the Hong Kong team is listed as the lowest ranked country, specifically 150th in the world.

Positive results came at the 2023 Asian Cup when the Indonesian team ranked 3rd in Group D. We got 3 points against the Vietnamese team, creating many difficulties for Japan and Iraq. But unfortunately, the Indonesian team could only increase 4 places, ranking 142nd.

Indonesia team will increase 4 places after finishing the group stage of Asian Cup 2023

After the four matches in Groups E and F end on the evening of January 25, the Indonesian team will know whether they have advanced to the round of 16 of the 2023 Asian Cup. Currently, coach Shin Tae-yong's students are ranked 4th in the group of third-placed teams with the best results with 3 points and a goal difference of -3.

Indonesian media revealed that the coaching staff and players of "Garuda" will follow the developments of the matches of groups E and F at the hotel. All are worried and looking forward to a favorable result for the representative of Southeast Asia.
