JAKARTA The Indonesian national team still has two remaining matches in the second round of the Asian 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The two Group F matches are against Iraq and the Philippines. This match will be played at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK), Senayan, Jakarta, on June 6 and 11. closest.

Indonesia will first fight Iraq. This is an opportunity for Shin Tae Yong's squad to avenge their 1-5 defeat to Basra International Stadium last November.

Meanwhile, the second match is of course against the Philippines. In the first meeting, Indonesia, which was seeded, only brought one point home due to the 1-1 draw.

After not securing victory in the first two matches, Indonesia rose against Vietnam. Two matches with The Golden Stars, Garuda troops were able to collect six points.

Two victories against Vietnam made Indonesia now sit in second place in the group standings with seven points or five points adrift of Iraq at the top.

The condition for Indonesia's passing is that if it is able to add three points from the remaining match or with a total of 10 points at the end of the standings later. However, if Indonesia is only able to get one additional point, then there are other conditions such as Vietnam losing to Iraq in their match.

By leaving the remaining two matches in all participants, including Indonesia, Indonesia's requirements remain in the runner-up position if:

Assuming Iraq maintains the top position by winning maximum points, Indonesia will remain in the runner-up position with sufficient points and competition from other competitors that are not too threatening.

The runner-up position makes Indonesia have a great chance of qualifying for the next round of World Cup qualifiers. Indonesia is at least runner-up to advance to the next stage.

In addition to qualifying for the third round of the World Cup, Ragnar Oeratmangoen cs. will also qualify for the 2027 Asian Cup in Saudi Arabia if they can guard their current place until all Group F matches are over.

Qualification for this World Cup is also a qualifying for the Asian Cup. The two best teams from each group in the third round will qualify for the third round and will automatically get tickets for the 2027 Asian Cup.
