JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team will undergo a test match against Tanzania on Sunday, June 2, 2024, in preparation for the second round of the 2026 Asian Cup Qualification.

The good news is that Garuda supporters can return to hunting for tickets to support them directly. You see, this match is open and can be attended by spectators.

The good news for lovers of the Garuda Squad was conveyed by the Chairman of the National Team Agency (BTN), Sumardji. He said the preparatory match ahead of the opponents of Iraq and the Philippines could be watched directly at the Madya Stadium, Senayan.

"The match (trial) against Tanzania is in preparation for the Indonesian national team before meeting Iraq and the Philippines. The match will be held with spectators," Sumardji said in a statement quoted on Monday, May 20, 2024.

After reporting that the Indonesian national team match against Tanzania was held openly, Sumardji still has not provided further details.

Regarding tickets, the man who also serves as the manager of the Indonesian national team provided little information.

"Tiket will be sold by PSSI," said Sumardji again.

Terkait detail mengenai harga dan waktu penjualan memang belum diumumkan. Namun, Sumardji menyebut bahwa nantinya laga ini akan disiarkan langsung di televisi nasional.

However, there is no official information about the television station that will broadcast the match. So far, the broadcasting rights of the Indonesian national team are still held by the MNC Group.

"This match is also broadcast by national television," he said.

Even though it was a test match, this match against the African representative country became an important moment for Shin Tae-yong's team before appearing in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers.

The national team will play in the second round by hosting Iraq and the Philippines at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK), Jakarta, on June 6 and 11, 2024.

To be able to lock tickets qualifying for the third round, the Garuda squad must at least win one of the last two matches in Group F.

If that target is achieved, the Indonesian national team will also automatically qualify for the 2027 Asian Cup.

So far, the Indonesian national team is in second place in Group F with a collection of seven points. The points were the result of defeat against Iraq (1-5), series against the Philippines (1-1), and won twice over Vietnam (1-0 and 3-0).
