Indonesia's FIFA Rankings Increase And Continue To Get Closer To The Top 100

JAKARTA - The FIFA Ranking for the Indonesian National Team (Timnas) continues to show improvement. According to Footy Ranking, the Garuda squad is getting closer to the top 100 by passing through the 120th rank.

Prior to the FIFA rating update, the Indonesian national team had indeed played two matches in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers.

As a result, Indonesia won against China with a score of 1-0 on June 5, 2025, followed by a 0-6 defeat to the host Japan five days later.

Victory over China in the top 100 ranks raised Indonesia's ranking. In the ranking movement, Indonesia even ranked 116th after the match.

Meanwhile, the defeat to Japan did not have much effect. This is because of the unequal ranking difference. Indonesia only lost 3.42 points when it lost badly to Japan.

From the results of the match, Indonesia is predicted to fall by two places to 118.

By being in 118th position, the Indonesian national team is getting closer to the main goal of targeting a top 100 in the world.

This ambition can still be smoother because the Indonesian national team still has an agenda to fight in the Fourth Round of the 2026 World Cup Qualification.

The Indonesian national team will fight in the Fourth Round of the 2026 World Cup Qualification in October 2025. The two matches are worth high points because they have a big match weight against a country with a higher ranking.

If you succeed in becoming a group leader and qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, Indonesia's hope to gain more points and shot up in the FIFA rankings will certainly be wide open.

Appearing at the 2026 World Cup certainly makes the weight of a match much bigger than other matches.

Before the Fourth Round of 2026 World Cup Qualifications, Indonesia also had a FIFA Matchday agenda in September 2025.

However, until now it has not been officially announced by the team that Indonesia will face in the FIFA Matchday window.

Meanwhile, FIFA last released its ranking on April 3, 2025, where Indonesia is now on the 123rd ladder or up four levels.

In fact, the FIFA rating update will be made on Thursday, July 10, 2025.
