The Indonesia national football team is the official men's football team that plays for Indonesia in international matches. The team is managed by the Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI). This group is in charge of football in Indonesia and is part of the AFC and FIFA. Most of Indonesia's home games are played at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium.

The team is often called Tim Garuda (Garuda Team), Timnas (National Team), or Merah Putih (The Red and White). These names come from Indonesia's national symbol, the Garuda, and their red-and-white jerseys, which match the country's flag. Their fan clubs are known as La Grande Indonesia and Ultras Garuda.

Indonesia was the first team from Asia to play in the FIFA World Cup. The team's earlier version, the Dutch East Indies, played in the 1938 World Cup. They were knocked out in the first round. Indonesia's only appearance at the Olympics was in 1956.

Indonesia has played in the AFC Asian Cup six times. They reached the knockout stage for the first time in the 2023 tournament, making it to the Round of 16. The team also won a bronze medal at the 1958 Asian Games in Tokyo. Indonesia has reached the ASEAN Championship final six times but finished as runners-up each time. They have strong football rivalries with nearby countries like Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Team History: From Colonial Times to Today

Early Days: 1921–1938

Het Nederlands-Indië Team 1935
The Dutch East Indies team in 1935, the early version of Indonesia's national team.

During the time when Indonesia was a Dutch colony, the team was called the Dutch East Indies. This team played for the area that is now Indonesia. The Dutch East Indies Football Union (NIVU) organized the team. They joined FIFA in 1924. Their first unofficial match was a 1–0 win against Singapore in 1921.

In 1930, the Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) was started by Soeratin Sosrosoegondo. This group brought together local football clubs to play under PSSI. This was a way to show resistance against Dutch control.

In 1934, a team from Java played for the Dutch East Indies in the Far Eastern Games in the Philippines. They beat Japan 7–1. These games are seen as the first matches for the Indonesia national team. In 1935, NIVU and PSSI started working together.

Asia's First World Cup Team: 1938

The Dutch East Indies team made history by being the first Asian team to play in the FIFA World Cup in France in 1938. They got into the final round without playing any qualifying matches. This happened because Japan and the United States both pulled out of the competition.

Johan Mastenbroek coached the team. The captain was Achmad Nawir, an Indonesian player. In the tournament, which used a knockout format, the Dutch East Indies lost 0–6 to Hungary in their first match. This game was played on June 5, 1938. To this day, the Dutch East Indies is the only team from a colony to have played in a FIFA World Cup before becoming an independent nation.

Becoming Indonesia: 1945–1984

Indonesia vs Soviet Union at the 1956 Summer Olympics
Indonesia played against the Soviet Union at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne. The game was a 0–0 draw.

After World War II and Indonesia's fight for independence, the national team changed its name from Dutch East Indies to Indonesia. The Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) took over. Indonesia's first official match was on March 5, 1951, at the Asian Games. They lost 0–3 to India.

Indonesia played in the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne. They reached the quarter-finals and played against the Soviet Union. The first game was a 0–0 draw, but Indonesia lost the replay 0–4.

In 1957, Indonesia did well in the World Cup qualifiers. They beat China. However, they refused to play their next opponents, Israel, for political reasons.

Indonesia won a bronze medal at the 1958 Asian Games. They also won the Merdeka Tournament three times (1961, 1962, 1969) and the 1968 King's Cup. Indonesia returned to World Cup qualifiers in 1974 and 1978, but did not qualify. In 1982, they won two qualifying matches.

A New Era: 1985–1995

In the 1986 World Cup qualifiers, Indonesia topped their group but lost to South Korea in the next round. They reached the semi-finals of the 1986 Asian Games.

A big achievement during this time was winning gold medals at the Southeast Asian Games in 1987 and 1991. In 1987, they beat Malaysia 1–0. In 1991, they won against Thailand in a penalty shootout.

Playing on the Big Stage: 1995–2016

Indonesia started playing in the AFC Asian Cup more often. Their first appearance was in 1996. They earned one point from a 2–2 draw against Kuwait.

In the 1998 Tiger Cup, Indonesia faced Thailand. Both teams were already in the semi-finals. Indonesia's Mursyid Effendi scored an own goal on purpose. This was to avoid playing against hosts Vietnam in the semi-finals. FIFA fined both teams, and Effendi was banned from international football for life.

Indonesia played in the Asian Cup again in 2000. They got one point from a 0–0 draw with Kuwait. In the 2004 AFC Asian Cup, Indonesia won their first-ever Asian Cup match, beating Qatar 2–1. However, they did not make it to the next round.

Indonesia co-hosted the 2007 AFC Asian Cup with Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. They won their opening match against Bahrain 2–1. But they lost their next two games and did not reach the knockout stage.

The team reached the finals of the AFF Championship six times (2000, 2002, 2004, 2010, 2016, and 2020). However, they never won the trophy.

Challenges and Suspensions: 2012–2016

From 2012 to 2015, Indonesian football faced problems. There were two separate leagues, and FIFA warned the PSSI. In 2015, FIFA suspended the PSSI because of government interference. This meant Indonesia could not play in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers or the 2019 Asian Cup qualifiers. The suspension was lifted in 2016. After this, Indonesia quickly prepared for the 2016 AFF Championship, where they reached the final but lost to Thailand.

Rebuilding the Team: 2017–2019

After the 2016 AFF Championship, PSSI hired Spanish coach Luis Milla. He left before the 2018 AFF Championship, and Indonesia was knocked out in the group stage. Simon McMenemy then became coach to prepare for the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. Indonesia lost all four of their first matches and McMenemy was sacked. Indonesia was then officially out of the 2022 World Cup qualification.

Shin Tae-yong Era: 2020–2025

Shin Tae-yong Indonesia
Shin Tae-yong led Indonesia to the 2020 AFF Championship final and the 2023 AFC Asian Cup.

In 2020, PSSI hired Shin Tae-yong from South Korea as the new head coach. He brought in many young players, mostly from the under-23 team. Indonesia reached the 2020 AFF Championship final with a very young squad.

In the 2023 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers, Indonesia surprised many by beating Kuwait 2–1. This was their first win against Kuwait in 42 years. They also beat Nepal 7–0. These wins helped Indonesia qualify for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup after a 16-year break. In the Asian Cup, they were grouped with Japan, Iraq, and Vietnam.

Indonesia started their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification by beating Brunei 12–0 on total score. In the second round, they lost to Iraq and drew with the Philippines.

In the 2023 AFC Asian Cup, Indonesia lost their first match to Iraq 1–3. In their second match, captain Asnawi Mangkualam scored a penalty, giving Indonesia a 1–0 win over Vietnam. This was Indonesia's first win against Vietnam in seven years. They lost their last group match to Japan 1–3.

Even with two losses, Indonesia made it to the Round of 16 as one of the best third-place teams. This was the first time Indonesia reached the knockout stage of the AFC Asian Cup since their first appearance in 1996. They played against Australia in the Round of 16 and lost 0–4, ending their journey.

Advancing in World Cup Qualifiers

Indonesia continued their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification journey. They beat Vietnam twice in March 2024, winning 1–0 in Jakarta and 3–0 in Hanoi. The 3–0 win was their first victory in Vietnam's home ground since 2004. These wins moved Indonesia to second place in their group. They also moved above the Philippines and Malaysia in the FIFA ranking for the first time in five years.

On April 25, 2024, PSSI president Erick Thohir announced that Shin Tae-yong's contract was extended until 2027.

In June 2024, Indonesia finished the second round of World Cup qualifiers. They lost 0–2 to Iraq but won 2–0 against the Philippines in their final group match. This result made Indonesia the runner-up in Group F. They qualified for the 2027 AFC Asian Cup and moved to the third round of World Cup qualification for the first time ever.

In the third round, Indonesia was placed in Group C with strong teams like Japan, Australia, Saudi Arabia, China, and Bahrain. In September 2024, they drew 1–1 with Saudi Arabia and 0–0 with Australia. In October 2024, they drew 2–2 with Bahrain but lost 1–2 to China. In November 2024, Indonesia lost 0–4 to Japan. However, in their next match, Indonesia surprised everyone by beating Saudi Arabia 2–0 with two goals from Marselino Ferdinan. This was a historic win, as no Southeast Asian country had ever beaten Saudi Arabia before.

In the 2024 ASEAN Championship, Indonesia played with a younger squad. They won one match but did not get past the group stage.

On January 6, 2025, PSSI announced that Shin Tae-yong's contract as head coach was ended. This decision was made due to communication and tactical issues, especially after the loss to China and not advancing in the ASEAN Championship.

New Coach: Patrick Kluivert (2025–present)

After Shin Tae-yong left, Patrick Kluivert was officially named the new head coach on January 8, 2025. Alex Pastoor and Denny Landzaat joined him as assistant coaches.

Under Kluivert, Indonesia played more World Cup qualifiers. They lost 1–5 to Australia away but then beat Bahrain 1–0 at home. On June 5, 2025, Indonesia achieved another big win, defeating China 1–0. This was their first win against China in 38 years. This victory meant Indonesia moved on to the fourth round of World Cup qualification.

Team Look: Kits and Crest

Idn kit

When Indonesia was the Dutch East Indies, the team wore orange jerseys, white shorts, and light blue socks. Orange was the national color of the Netherlands.

After Indonesia became independent, the team's kit changed to red and white. These are the colors of the Indonesian flag. Sometimes, green and white were used for away kits. This was seen when the team played in the 1956 Summer Olympics.

Erspo became the national team's kit supplier in 2024. They will provide the kits until at least 2026. Before Erspo, brands like Nike and Mills supplied the kits. Indonesia also wears different clothes when they play in multi-sport events like the Asian Games and Southeast Asian Games. For these events, they wear Li-Ning gear.

In 2018, Nike released new home and away kits. The home shirt was red with a golden Nike logo, inspired by the Garuda Pancasila. The away kit was white and green. From 2020 to 2024, Indonesia used kits from the local brand Mills.

Team Rivalries

Indonesia has a big football rivalry with Malaysia. This is one of the most famous rivalries in Southeast Asian football. The two countries have played 99 times. Indonesia has won 40 matches, drawn 21, and lost 38. The rivalry became even stronger because of political tensions between the two countries in the 1960s.

Matches between Indonesia and Malaysia are always exciting and often have many fans. In 2011, two fans died during a stampede at a Southeast Asian Games final between the under-23 teams of Indonesia and Malaysia. The teams last played in the 2020 AFF Championship, where Indonesia won 4–1.

Indonesia also has rivalries with other nearby countries in Southeast Asia, such as Thailand, Vietnam, and Singapore.

Media Coverage

The national team's matches are often shown on MNC Media. Since 2020, MNC has mainly covered matches in the ASEAN Championship and AFC Asian Cup. Other TV networks like Emtek also show some matches.

Indonesia's qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and 2027 AFC Asian Cup are shown on MNC Media's RCTI and Emtek's Indosiar and SCTV.

Home Stadiums

The Gelora Bung Karno Stadium (top) and Jakarta International Stadium (bottom) are key home grounds.

In the early days, when the team was the Dutch East Indies, they did not have a home stadium. They played their games in other countries. After Indonesia became independent in 1945, the team used the Ikada Stadium in Jakarta. This stadium could hold 30,000 people. It was used until 1963 when it was taken down to build the National Monument.

In 1962, the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium was opened as Indonesia's new national stadium. It was built for the 1962 Asian Games. Located in Central Jakarta, it can hold over 77,193 fans. It is one of the largest football stadiums in the world. Indonesia's first match there was on August 27, 1962, when they beat the Philippines 6–0. This stadium has been used for almost all major home games, including the 2007 AFC Asian Cup matches.

Since 2023, the Jakarta International Stadium has also been used as an occasional home for the national team. This stadium was opened in 2022 and can hold 82,000 fans. It is the largest stadium in Indonesia. Indonesia also uses other stadiums for home matches, such as Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium, Patriot Stadium, and Pakansari Stadium.
