JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team has qualified for the 2023 Asian Cup with the status of one of the best runners-up in the qualifying round. This ended the wait for the Indonesian national team for 15 years never to appear in the finals.

The ticket to the 2023 Asian Cup was won after a 7-0 win over Nepal. At the same time, Kuwait surrendered from Jordan.

PSSI Chairman, Mochamad Iriawan, thanked all those who contributed to this success, including coach Shin Tae-yong and the players.

"Thank you to all the coaching staff, the players who played amazingly, the supporters who supported the players' struggle in Kuwait, the prayers of all Indonesian citizens," said the man who is familiarly called Iwan Bule.

According to the chairman of the PSSI, Indonesia's escape was not due to individual services. "But because we work together collectively, it is collegial," he said.

Previously, the name of the PSSI Ketum was highlighted due to viral posts that appeared on the PSSI official website. The article mentions the success of the Indonesian national team in breaking the 42-year record thanks to Iwan Bule.

At that time, the Indonesian national team had just won 2-1 over Kuwait in the 2023 Asian Cup qualifying match. The victory repeated the success made by the Red and White Team 42 years ago.

The article caused a stir on social media, the contents of which were mostly criticizing the attitude of the national football parent. However, Menpora Zainudin Amali said that this is a normal thing and does not need to be questioned.
