JAKARTA - High enthusiasm can be seen ahead of the match between the Indonesia vs Japan national team which was held at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK). Although the match was only held at 19.00 WIB, the queue had been contagious since noon.

The Indonesian vs Japan national team match is the fifth matchday of Group C of the Third Round of the 2026 World Cup Qualification. Being the first match in the November 202 edition, it's no wonder this match attracts high interest from Indonesian fans.

The queue of supporters has even been snaking since noon. In fact, the match was only played at 19.00 WIB. The density of visitors can be seen from the side of Gate 10 Jalan Pemuda. In addition, the traffic situation around Gatot Subroto is also starting to get crowded.

From Voi.id's observation in the field, the density of visitors leads to an queue entering ring two of SUGBK. Being the starting point for checking the supporters' tickets, ring two which is guarded by strict security is quite a time for inspection.

At around 16.00 WIB the queue from ring two had begun to look unraveled even though on the other hand the supporters also continued to come to explode. However, the queue was again visible when entering ring one SUGBK.

Supporters who have been confirmed to have tickets back have to queue to enter the stands according to the category.

This time the queue occurred because they had to wait for the opening of the gates of each zone listed on the ticket.

It is known that the gates for each zone to the stands itself only started at 16.30 WIB. Therefore, the queue had snaked almost 20 meters from the gate points of each zone.

In this situation, one of the supporters is even known to have arrived in SUGBK since noon. Dito, who came from Bogor City with his colleagues, has even arrived since 13.00 WIB.

Although the distance from the city where he lives is not too far from Jakarta, Dito admitted that he deliberately came faster so that he could be calmer watching the Indonesian national team compete.

"He has come here (SUGBK) since this afternoon, until from Bogor at 13.00 WIB. He deliberately came first even though Bogor-Jakarta are not too far away because so he doesn't rush when he enters," said Dito.

The match between the Indonesian vs Japan national team does have its own prestige. With the position of the Garuda Squad which currently occupies the caretaker of the standings, three points are clearly Shin Tae-yong's main target in order to hope to continue to the following phase.

Even though facing Japan is clearly not an easy matter, the supporters who attended still believe that the hope of winning for the Indonesian national team still exists.

Moreover, at this time it has been confirmed that there is great support directly at home.

"Playing at home alone, support is definitely the totality of us supporters. So, the hope of winning against Japan will always be there."

"Playing at home should be a moment for the Indonesian national team to win," Dito hoped.
