JAKARTA - AFC calls the Indonesian national team match against China a blockbuster. This match is a continuation of the 2026 World Cup Qualification.
"Indonesia and China will face off in a blockbuster match when they meet in Group C of the 2026 World Cup Qualification," wrote AFC on the official website quoted Thursday, June 5, 2025.
Referring to the term in the film industry, blockbuster means a film work that costs a large budget, brings a lot of stars, and reaps big profits after being released to the market.
This does not feel too much because the Indonesian national team match against China is indeed a fairly anticipated match. The reason is, the results of this match will determine the steps of both teams to advance to the 2026 World Cup directly or still have to go through a playoffs.

Until the Third Round, the Indonesian national team took fourth place in Group C standings with a collection of nine points. Meanwhile, China, which is in the same group, is in the caretaker position with six points.
The match at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK) on Thursday, June 5, 2025, will be the last chance for the 2026 World Cup Qualification Fourth Round. Therefore, it is not surprising that both teams will appear determined.
At the first meeting, China managed to win 2-1 when they appeared at home to host Indonesia. This could be a big capital for The Dragon.
However, the spirit of the Indonesian national team is also high. Moreover, Patrick Kluivert's team will host this match and will certainly get full support from more than 70 thousand supporters.
