The Indonesian national football team will participate in the 2026 World Cup Asian Qualifiers, Group C, starting in the third week of March 2025.
On Sunday (March 9, 2025), national team coach Patrick Kluivert announced a provisional list of 30 players for the tournament.
Eleven players (37%) are local players or Indonesian citizens (WNI) by birth.
Nineteen players (63%) are naturalized players, who were originally foreign citizens but have become Indonesian citizens. However, these naturalized players have Indonesian ancestry through their parents or grandparents.
This has been welcomed by PSSI Chairman Erick Thohir.
"I am pleased with the provisional player list chosen by coach Patrick Kluivert, his first list as national team coach. This is certainly the result of discussions with the two other coaches, Alex Pastoor and Danny Lanzaat," said Erick in a PSSI press release on Sunday (March 9, 2025).
"I believe the composition is balanced and comprises the best players in all sectors, including the plan to add three new naturalized players," he continued.
