Schedule Of Indonesia Vs China Taipei On FIFA Matchday: Returning Condition
JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team will start the FIFA Matchday agenda for the September 2025 edition by facing China Taipei.
The match against China Taipei will be held on Friday, September 5, 2025, WIB night at the Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium, Surabaya. China Taipei became a substitute opponent after Kuwait decided to withdraw unilaterally.
PSSI chose China Taipei because the resident team ranked 172 FIFA did not yet have a match match in the international calendar for the September 2025 period.
For this match Patrick Kluivert, the coach of the Indonesian national team, has summoned 27 players. The Garuda squad will also be strengthened by two new naturalized players.

The two naturalized players who have just undergone the oath procession as Indonesian citizens (WNI) are Mauro Zijlstra and Miliano Jonathans.
However, Indonesia also lost one player. Mess Hilgers canceled joining Jay Idzes and his friends because they were trying to complete the transfer at the start of the season.
So far there has been no information that Kluivert will call new players to fill the Hilgers post. However, the composition of the current players is quite capable.
The Indonesian national team chose China Taipei as an opponent for conditions to return after the players gathered again.
Coach Patrick Kluivert needs to find an opponent who is FIFA's ranking lower to bring the team together again in preparation for the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers.
After facing China Taipei, Indonesia will face Lebanon. The second opponent on FIFA Matchday was ranked higher than the Garuda Squad because it had begun to enter the consolidation of tactics and strategies.
PSSI is trying to make two FIFA Matchday matches in September 2025 as preparation for the Indonesian national team before competing in the Fourth Round of the 2026 World Cup Qualification next month against Iraq and Saudi Arabia.
