The number of naturalized players in the Indonesian national football team has increased significantly in recent times.

At the beginning of this year, their proportion even exceeded that of local players.

*Databoks* compiled a list of national team players for World Cup qualifiers from several coaching eras.

In July 2011, when Alfred Riedl coached the Indonesian national team, the Garuda squad consisted of 25 players. 92% were local players and 8% were naturalized.

During the coaching eras of Wim Rijsbergen, Pieter Huistra, and Simon McMenemy, the proportion of local players fluctuated, but the trend remained dominant.

The dominance of local players even peaked at 100% in May 2021, when Shin Tae-yong was in charge of the Indonesian national team.

However, nearing the end of Shin Tae-yong's coaching era, in October 2024, the proportion of local players decreased to approximately 52%, while naturalized players surged to 48%.

The role of naturalized players also increased significantly at the beginning of Patrick Kluivert's coaching era.

In March 2025, in the 2026 World Cup qualifier match between Indonesia and Australia, Kluivert fielded 23 players. Almost 74% were naturalized players, while 26% were local players.

The proportion of local players at the beginning of Kluivert's era was the lowest since at least 2011, as shown in the graph.
