Key information before the Indonesia vs Saudi Arabia match

October can be considered a decisive month for Indonesia's dream of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup as the best representative from Southeast Asian football competes in the fourth round. Indonesia’s coach Kluivert’s team will face Saudi Arabia and Iraq, two teams regarded among the continent’s top sides.

Group B will be centralized in Saudi Arabia, meaning Indonesia will be the visiting team against the hosts in their opening match. It is quite unfortunate for the "Garuda" as their squad is seriously affected. Key players like goalkeeper Emil Audero Mulyadi, performing well in Serie A, and Calvin Verdonk (Lille), who is in good form, are injured and unavailable.

Therefore, Indonesia’s squad to face Saudi Arabia is a 50:50 mix of naturalized players and many local talents. Some players familiar to Vietnamese fans such as Lilipaly, Ridho, Nadeo, and Kambuaya have been called up and are likely to play due to the absence of several naturalized players.

Naturally, Indonesia is rated lower than the host Saudi Arabia. However, it shouldn’t be forgotten that in the third qualifying round, Indonesia performed impressively against this same opponent in both legs. Specifically, the "Garuda" managed a draw away and a 2-0 home victory with a scientific and effective playing style.
