JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team visited the home of Bahrain, Bahrain National Stadium, Thursday, October 10, 2024, in the third match of the Third Round of the 2026 World Cup Qualification.
The Garuda squad came to Bahrain with the issue that the opponent's cage often presents non-technical pressure which is fairly unfair.
When Bahrain hosted Japan on September 10, 2024, the Blue Samurai players were attacked by lasers by spectators.
Therefore, the Indonesian national team had had time to give an ultimatum by sending an official letter to the Bahrain Football Federation (BFA) regarding the use of lasers.
The Indonesian national team manager, Sumardji, also appealed to the host supporters to be able to support the team in a way that prioritizes the principle of fair play.

Do not let the use of lasers as done in the match between Bahrain and Japan occur again in the match against the Garuda Squad.
No wonder, when the Match Coordination Meeting (MCM), Sumardji again urged Bahrain to anticipate the audience's recess.
"Untuk suporter tim lawan (Bahrain), kami berharap agar tidak lagi menggunakan cara yang tidak baik, seperti menggunakan laser dan diarahkan ke pemain Timnas Indonesia. Hal itu sangat merugikan asas fair play."
"Thus, at the time of MCM we have conveyed so that it does not happen again like the match between Bahrain and Japan," said Sumardji.
Sumardji further hopes that the match can be presented properly and fairly play. Moreover, both teams have prepared everything very carefully in order to get the best results.
"Our hope is for the players, they can fight with a full sense of responsibility because our hope is to win."
"We want to win in Bahrain with all the provisions that have been given by the head coach. Play all out, play for Garuda, play for the nation and country," said Sumardji again.
The Indonesian national team had a positive result before traveling to Bahrain. They earned two points against Asian, Saudi and Australian giants.
The visit to Bahrain has a mission to secure the first three points in the Third Round of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. The Kans is wide open.
