JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team canceled against Kuwait on the September 2025 edition of the FIFA Matchday agenda. Regarding that, the General Chairperson (Ketum) of PSSI, Erick Thohir, revealed that he did not know for sure the reason for Kuwait suddenly canceling the agenda.
Related to this, PSSI has also sent a letter of protest to Kuwait.
"Initially we were also allowed to have bad interpretations, this is sabotage, it's hard to test it. However, if we look at it, apparently Kuwait has also withdrawn from other tournaments."
"Maybe there is an internal issue. I don't want to accuse, but we have sent a hard letter to Kuwait," said Erick Thohir in Jakarta quoted Tuesday, August 26, 2025.

Regarding the disappointment with this cancellation, the chairman of PSSI emphasized that he would also send a report to the AFC.
"We will also report to the AFC. The issue is, yes, they canceled coming, especially to us and there are several tournaments. As for internal issues, I don't know," said Erick Thohir.
Previously, PSSI had announced Kuwait and Lebanon as opponents of the Garuda Squad on FIFA Matchday in September 2025. The schedule has been released and tickets have been sold to supporters.
With this cancellation, PSSI certainly has to move quickly to find a replacement opponent if they want to continue playing two matches in September 2025.
Initially, the duel would be used as preparation for the Fourth Round of 2026 World Cup Qualifiers in October 2025.
