JAKARTA - Swansea City defender, Nathan Tjoa-A-On, was seen watching the match of the Indonesia Vs Brunei Darussalam national team at the Gelora Bung Karno (SUGBK) Main Stadium, Thursday, October 12. Nathan's presence strengthens the speculation that the player will be naturalized to be part of the Red and White team.

Nathan was seen present in person at SUGBK at night. When the match took place, Nathan was in the East VIP stands.

The presence of the English club player was shared by the General Chairperson (Ketum) of PSSI, Erick Thohir on his Instagram account. Through this upload, the man who is also the Minister of SOEs also asked the question of who he was talking to.

"Can anyone guess who will take part in tonight's game?" Erick Thohir wrote in the question box.

Nathan's name has recently become the talk of Indonesian football lovers because he is widely rumored to be a potential naturalized player.

The coach of the Indonesian national team, Shin Tae-yong, even said that the player was ready to change nationality.

The player is projected to strengthen the Indonesian national team in the 2023 Qatar Asian Cup from January 12 to February 10, 2024.

Although it is not certain about Nathan's goal to be present in the match of the Indonesian vs Brunei Darussalam national team, his figure who looks direct further strengthens the speculation that the player is starting to be interested in getting closer to the national team.
