Jordi Amat And Rizky Ridho Represent Persija On The Call List To The Indonesian National Team

JAKARTA - Two Persija Jakarta players, Jordi Amat and Rizky Ridho, received a call to strengthen the Indonesian national team. This call relates to the FIFA Matchday agenda in September 2025.

During that international break, the Indonesian national team is scheduled to face Kuwait and Lebanon. The match will be held at the Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium, Surabaya, on 5 and 8 September 2025.

Information on the summons of Jordi and Ridho was announced by the Kemayoran Tigers through the official upload on Instagram, Thursday, August 21, 2025.

"Two Persija players, Rizky Ridho and Jordi Amat will join the Indonesian national team squad to prepare for the trial matches against Kuwait and Lebanon, 1-9 September 2025," wrote the statement in the upload.

For Jordi Amat, this moment is an opportunity to regain a place in the back line of the Garuda Squad. The reason is, Jordi Amat is used to building chemistry with Rizky Ridho in the back line.

After naturalizing to become an Indonesian citizen, Jordi Amat immediately became a mainstay in the back line. However, after the 2023 Asian Cup which was held in early 2024, the core position began to move away from Jordi Amat.

The presence of Jay Idzes and Mees Hilgers is the cause. Rizky Ridho, who had fallen to the bench, also managed to show off and returned regularly to fill the position in the first team.

You could say that Jordi Amat's competitors are Mees Hilgers and Justin Hubner. The career of Mees Hilgers is still in question because his status is not yet clear in Twente, while Justin Hubner is currently struggling in Fortuna Sittard.

The FIFA Matchday agenda in September 2025 in Surabaya was the last trial of the Indonesian national team ahead of the match against Saudi Arabia and Iraq in the Fourth Round of the 2026 World Cup Qualification, October 2025.
