Bahrain goalkeeper, Sayed Mohammed Jaffer, confidently defeated the Indonesian national team in the 2026 World Cup Qualification continued match on Tuesday, March 25, 2025 evening WIB.
Jaffer's confidence cannot be separated from the progress of his team since the last meeting with Indonesia in October 2024.
"The progress of the last match against Indonesia until now is very big for our team."
"This gives us more confidence and a greater chance of winning this match," said Sayed Mohammed Jaffer before training in Jakarta.
Ahead of visiting Jakarta, Bahrain did have good capital. You see, in the last 2026 World Cup Qualification match, they only lost 0-2 to Japan.

In addition, Bahrain also holds the status of the Gulf Cup champion which will be held at the end of December 2024 to January 2025.
Although quite optimistic, Jaffer also admitted that the match against Indonesia would be tough because both teams needed points to maintain their chances of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup finals.
"Of course, we have six points, Indonesia also has six points. We both face the same test."
"Everyone wants to get the three points in this game. It will be a tough game," he said.
In order to be able to steal full points in Jakarta, Jaffer hinted that his team had made the best preparations.
"Preparations are going as usual. We understand our situation, the situation of Indonesia, and other teams in the group."
"So, we prepare each match separately. Until now, our preparations are very good," he said.
Bahrain currently occupies fifth place in the Group C standings of the Third Round of 2026 World Cup Qualifiers with a collection of six points.
However, Bahrain's collection of points is the same as that of Indonesia's fourth position, as well as a team of Chinese caretakers.
