Hubner became the sixth naturalized player under the leadership of Shin Tae-yong. Previously there were Sandy Walsh, Jordi Amat, Shayne Pattynama, Ivar Jenner, and Rafael Struick.

Not only Hubner, the plan is that the Indonesian national team will still add two other descendants through the naturalization process.

They are Jay Idzes and Nathan Tjoe-A-On whose files have been approved by the government at the DPR RI Plenary Session, Tuesday, December 5, 2023.
