JAKARTA - Chairman of the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) Erick Thohir said FIFA Matchday tickets between Argentina and the Indonesian national team would be more booming than Coldplay concerts.

Argentina is certain to meet Indonesia on FIFA Matchday at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK), 19 June. This duel began to attract the attention of national football lovers.

"I'm sure the ticket is more booming than Coldplay. Yesterday I only saw it on social media, yes, I wasn't the one talking," Erick said at a press conference at SUGBK on Wednesday, May 24, 2023 at noon WIB.

The arrival of the Argentine national team to Indonesia will clearly be one of the historic moments. Moreover, the South American team just won the 2022 World Cup in Qatar at the end of last year.

In addition, the Argentine national team is likely to bring their superstar Lionel Messi. The owner of the seven Ballon d'Or will be the center of attention if he joins the group to Jakarta.

Erick said that bringing in the Argentine Indonesian national team may need decades ago to do so after June.

"He said that Coldplay could come in a few years, but the Argentina team to Indonesia is not necessarily. What does that mean? This is a historic match for Argentina, Indonesia, and of course the younger generation of Indonesian football," said Erick.

This test match against Argentina has become a separate history for the Indonesian national team. Garuda troops for the first time in history competed against a team that was ranked first in the FIFA world.

Argentina is Indonesia's second opponent in the FIFA Matchday period in June. Before meeting the Tango team, Shin Tae Yong's team first met Palestine at Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium, Surabaya, June 14.
