After China, The Indonesian National Team Has 6 2026 World Cup Qualification Matches, 4 Of Them Are Kandang

JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team has completed the fourth matchday of Group C of the 2026 World Cup Qualification Third Round against China on Tuesday, October 15, 2024.

After reaping the first defeat in that match, the Garuda Squad still had the opportunity to rise because it still had six follow-up matches.

Of the remaining six matches of the Indonesian national team in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers, four of them are home matches.

This situation can be used by the Garuda Squad to collect as many points as possible.

Nearby, the Indonesian national team will undergo two home matches at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK), Jakarta, in November 2024. The first agenda will be held on November 15, 2024 by hosting Japan, which is the favorite team to win Group C.

Four days later or to be precise November 19, 2024, the Indonesian national team will host Saudi Arabia. The Indonesia vs Saudi Arabia match is the last match of the 2026 World Cup Qualification Third Round this year.

After that, the Indonesian national team will only return to undergo the 2026 World Cup Qualification Third Round match in March 2025.

Jay Idzes and his friends will have an away match at Australian headquarters on March 20, 2025.

Then, on March 20, 2025, the Indonesian national team will host Bahrain. Meanwhile, the last two matches of the Indonesian national team in the Third Round of the 2026 World Cup Qualification were held in June 2025.

The Red-White Team will host China on June 5, 2025 and finally travel to Japanese headquarters on June 10, 2025.

Of the number of teams in Group C, there are only two top teams that will qualify directly for the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

The third and fourth ranked teams will continue to the Fourth Round of the 2026 Asian Zone World Cup Qualifiers and the bottom two teams will be eliminated immediately.
