Bangladesh Ready To Land Indonesia In International Trials

JAKARTA - Bangladesh has announced that it is ready to face Indonesia in the international break at the end of this month. The plan is two games ready to be played.

The Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) made a decision to face Indonesia in a meeting on Saturday, January 8th. The match will take place at the Captain I Wayan Dipta Stadium, Bali.

"The Bangladesh team twice faced the Indonesian national team on July 24 and 27 in Bali, Indonesia," wrote the BFF on their official account.

However, PSSI has so far not made an official decision about which national team will be Indonesia's opponent in the international trials. Besides Bangladesh, PSSI also has other trial options.

Brunei Darussalam, Croatia and Greece are also reportedly included in the national soccer master plan to test the strength of the team made by Shin Tae-yong. In fact, PSSI has communicated with the last two names.

The FIFA Matchday agenda takes place between 24 January-1 February. If PSSI is granted, Bangladesh will fight Indonesia on January 24 and 27, 2022, respectively.

In this trial, Indonesia needed a win to boost FIFA's ranking. Now Indonesia is in position 164 or up two places after a good performance in the 2020 AFF Cup.

Meanwhile Bangladesh is in 186th position. Meanwhile, Brunei Darussalam, which is also on the list of potential opponents, is in 188th position.

Until now, the Indonesian national team has not received a training camp schedule from PSSI. Most players still get a day off after undergoing a five-day post-AFF Cup quarantine.
