PSSI General Chair Erick Thohir positively welcomed the temporary list of Indonesian national team players who will be brought by coach Patrick Kluivert in the continuation of the third round of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup in the Asia Group C zone against Australia and Bahrain in March.
Kluivert included a new player from the Indonesian League 1 which he included in his first "Garuda Calling". One new name is striker Dewa United Septian Bagaskara who has now scored seven goals and one assist.
"I am pleased with coach-choice provisional list Patrick Kluivert, who is his first list as coach of the national team," Erick said in his official statement on Sunday.
Apart from Bagaskara, Kluivert also included Ole Romeny as a new name in the Garuda squad. This season, Ole, who has just moved to Oxford, has scored a goal with his new club.
Erick added that he made sure that the list of 27 players had been discussed with his two assistants, Alex Pastoor and Denny Landzaat.
"Certainly, this is the result of discussions with the other two coaches, Alex Pastoor and Danny Lanzaat," he said, as reported by Antara.
