JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team will travel to Bahrain headquarters, Bahrain National Stadium, Thursday, October 10, 2024, in the third match of Group C of the Third Round of the 2026 World Cup Qualification.

Shin Tae-yong's troops carried the target of three points from the opponent's cage. The motivation of the players to realize the mission is also increasing.

In addition to having achieved slick results in the previous two matches against Asian, Saudi Arabia and Australia giants, the Garuda Squad will also be supported by supporters who go away to Bahrain.

This was conveyed by the Indonesian National Team Manager, Sumardji. He said Garuda troops were looking forward to the presence of supporters' support for the Bahrain National Stadium.

He also expressed his gratitude to the Indonesian Embassy for facilitating supporters as a form of support for the Garuda Squad.

"With the presence of supporters who are directly in Bahrain, it will certainly have a positive impact on the Indonesian national team."

"We also want to thank the Indonesian Embassy and colleagues. The presence of colleagues will bring goodness and increase the enthusiasm of the players to get three points," said Sumardji after undergoing a Match Coordination Meeting (MCM), Wednesday, October 9, 2024.

The target of three points against Bahrain is quite realistic. The Indonesian national team has never been inferior in front of the team nicknamed Muharabi Dilmun.

Judging from the previous seven meetings, Indonesia was still lagging behind with two wins, three defeats, and two draws.

The record actually became a motivation in itself. Shin Tae-yong's foster children want to improve the meeting record as well as improve their image.

As is known, the Indonesian national team lost 0-10 in the 2014 World Cup Qualification in 2012. The defeat was a shame.

However, keep in mind that the Indonesian national team at that time was not the real team. The PSSI dualism prevented the Garuda Squad from competing with the best players.

Now, the Indonesian national team is ready to show who they really are. Moreover, the latest troops have been taken into account at the Asian level since the hands of Shin Tae-yong.
