JAKARTA - Bahrain will make a visit to Jakarta to face the Indonesian national team in the 2026 World Cup Qualification continued match. The match will be held on March 25, 2025 at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium.

Bahrain has also accelerated preparations. Two weeks before the match, they are known to have undergone intense training. Led directly by his coach, Dragan Talajic, the preparation agenda has been going on since Friday, March 7, 2025.

"The Bahrain National Team led by coach Dragan Talajic has been holding exercises since Friday (7/3/2025) night to prepare for two matches (against Japan and Indonesia)," wrote Kooora in a statement quoted on Wednesday, March 12, 2025.

In the two away matches of the 2026 World Cup Qualification Third Round, Dilmun's Warriors will face Japan on March 20, 2025, then Indonesia on March 25, 2025.

Bahrain's mainstay player, Mohammed Marhoon, has joined his team-mates. Meanwhile, the Bahrain group has also gathered after the coach announced a list of players against Indonesia and Japan.

Bahrain has determined 26 players to be brought to the two away matches. Talajic chose to combine young and senior players for the composition of his team.

A 16-year-old player named Sayed Al Wadaei was also summoned. Although relatively young, his quality is considered qualified because he is strengthening the youth team of the Spanish club, Villareal.

Meanwhile, the Indonesian national team has compiled a temporary list of 27 players plus three players who have just become Indonesian citizens.

They are Emil Audero, Dean James, and Joey Pelupessy who only have to complete the transfer of federations from their home countries to Indonesia.
