Indonesia announces the national team call-up list for September

On August 21, 2025, the Indonesia national team officially revealed the squad for the friendly matches scheduled during the FIFA Matchday in September.

On August 21, 2025, the Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) officially announced a 27-player roster called up for the training camp preparing for the FIFA Matchday qualifiers in September 2025. This call-up is crucial as preparation for two international friendlies expected to take place at Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium, Surabaya.

According to the schedule, Indonesia will host Kuwait on September 5 and face Lebanon on September 8. This provides coach Patrick Kluivert an opportunity to assess the squad, test tactics, and evaluate player form ahead of the official matches in the Asian fourth round World Cup qualifiers taking place in October.

This call-up contains several notable points. Some familiar players are absent due to injuries, most notably Ole Romeny and Maarten Paes. Both are currently recovering from injuries sustained while playing for their clubs, forcing coach Kluivert to seek alternative options.

Meanwhile, some veteran players have returned to the squad, including Marc Klok and Ramadhan Sananta. Marc Klok is showing impressive form with Persib Bandung, while Ramadhan Sananta has had a smooth start at DPMM FC in Malaysia. Their return promises to strengthen the team’s power and experience, especially in critical moments on the field.

The call-up list includes:

• Goalkeepers: Emil Audero (Cremonese), Ernando Ari (Persebaya), Nadeo Argawinta (Borneo FC)

• Defenders: Justin Hubner (Fortuna Sittard), Jay Idzes (Sassuolo), Rizky Ridho (Persija), Mees Hilgers (FC Twente), Jordi Amat (Persija)

• Midfielders: Ricky Kambuaya (Dewa United), Joey Pelupessy (Lommel), Nathan Tjoe A-On (Willem II), Thom Haye, Marselino Ferdinan (Oxford United), Marc Klok (Persib), Shayne Pattynama (Buriram United), Eliano Reijnders (PEC Zwolle), Kevin Diks (Borussia Mönchengladbach), Sandy Walsh (Buriram United), Dean James (Go Ahead Eagles), Yance Sayuri (Malut United), Calvin Verdonk (NEC Nijmegen)

• Forwards: Ramadhan Sananta (Brunei DPMM), Stefano Lilipaly (Dewa United), Egy Maulana Vikri (Dewa United), Yakob Sayuri (Malut United), Ragnar Oratmangoen (Dender), Beckham Putra (Persib)

With a squad blending experience and young talent, the Indonesia national team aims to deliver an impressive performance in the September friendlies while preparing thoroughly for the key objectives in the FIFA Matchday 2025 qualifiers.
