Schedule Of The Indonesian National Team In The 2026 World Cup Qualification, Roads Are Steeped Due To Schedule

The Indonesian national team has an unfavorable schedule in the Fourth Round of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers (VOI/Karisa Aurelia Tukan).

JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team will resume their struggle for the 2026 World Cup through the Fourth Round of Qualification. They will face Saudi Arabia and Iraq in Group B in October 2025.

The opening match will be played by the Garuda Squad against Saudi Arabia at the King Abdullah Sport City Stadium, Jeddah, on October 8, 2025.

This match will kick off at 20.15 local time or 00.15 WIB. In other words, this match will start on October 9, 2025 Indonesian time.

After meeting Saudi Arabia, the Indonesian national team will meet Iraq. This match will take place at the same stadium on October 11, 2025 at 18.00 Saudi Arabia time or 22:00 WIB.

These two matches are certainly not easy for Indonesia because the hosts and Iraq have a more friendly schedule.

The Garuda team played twice in four days. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia has a longer pause after fighting Indonesia.

There was about five days before Saudi Arabia met Iraq on October 14, 2025.

Then, Iraq did not compete when Saudi Arabia hosted the Red-White Team in the first match. Even so, Iraq also has a schedule that is not much different from Indonesia because it will play twice in four days.

Therefore, Patrick Kluivert's time management will simply determine the level of player fitness. Moreover, the Indonesian national team does not have time to prepare because the league is already running.

Meanwhile, only group winners are entitled to tickets to the 2026 World Cup finals.

The team that is the runner-up of each group will advance to the Fifth Round of 2026 World Cup Qualifiers.
