The match against Guinea is the only chance left for Indonesia to be able to secure tickets to the 2024 Paris Olympics in the middle of this year.
This playoffs match will only be held once. The winners will be in Group A and join the hosts France, the United States, and New Zealand.
Guinea will be a tough opponent for Indonesia. The reason is, currently on average, their players are having careers in European clubs.
The team made by Kaba Diawara had to play the Olympic playoffs after failing to win third place in the African Cup of U-23 July last year. At that time they lost through a penalty shootout against Mali.
