The Indonesia national football team is a group of male football players who represent Indonesia in international matches. The team has been playing since 1945. The Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) manages the team. PSSI is part of the AFC and FIFA. Most home games are played at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium.
People often call the team Pasukan Garuda (Garuda Warriors) or Merah Putih (The Red and White). These names come from Indonesia's national emblem and the red-and-white colors of their jerseys, which are based on 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. The team only played in the Olympics once, in 1956. Indonesia has played in the AFC Asian Cup five times. They reached the knockout stage for the first time in the 2023 tournament, making it to the Round of 16. Indonesia also won a bronze medal at the 1958 Asian Games in Tokyo. They have reached the ASEAN Championship final six times, finishing as runners-up each time. Indonesia has strong football rivalries with neighboring countries like Malaysia and Vietnam.

History of Indonesian Football
Early Years: 1921–1938
Before Indonesia became independent, the national team was known as the Dutch East Indies. This team represented the area that is now Indonesia during the time it was a Dutch colony. The Dutch East Indies Football Union (NIVU) organized the team. They became a member of FIFA in 1924.
Their first unofficial match was against Singapore in 1921. They won 1–0. In 1930, the Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) was formed. This was done to bring together Indonesian footballers under one group.
In 1934, a team from Java played in the 1934 Far Eastern Games in the Philippines. They beat Japan 7–1. These matches are seen as the first games involving the Indonesian national team. In 1935, NIVU and PSSI started working together.
First World Cup Appearance: 1938–1945
The Dutch East Indies team made history by being the first Asian team to play in the FIFA World Cup. This happened at the 1938 tournament in France. They got to the final round without playing any qualifying matches. This was 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, the Dutch East Indies lost their first match 0–6 to Hungary. This meant they were knocked out in the first round. Hungary later became the runner-up in the World Cup that year.
After Independence: 1945–1984

After World War II and Indonesia's independence, the team changed its name from Dutch East Indies to Indonesia. The Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) took over. Their first official match as Indonesia was in 1951 at the 1951 Asian Games. They lost 0–3 to India.
Indonesia played in the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne. They reached the quarter-finals. There, they 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 1958 World Cup qualifiers. They beat China. However, they refused to play their next opponents, Israel, for political reasons.
The team won a bronze medal at the 1958 Asian Games. They beat India 4–1. Indonesia also won the Merdeka Tournament three times (1961, 1962, and 1969). They also won the 1968 King's Cup.
Growth and Success: 1985–1995
This period saw a rise in Indonesian football. In the 1986 World Cup qualifiers, Indonesia topped their group. They then lost to South Korea. The team reached the semi-finals of the 1986 Asian Games. They lost to South Korea and then to Kuwait for the bronze medal.
A big achievement was winning gold medals at the Southeast Asian Games in 1987 and 1991. In 1987, they beat Malaysia 1–0. In 1991, they beat Thailand in a penalty shootout.
Continental Appearances: 1995–2016
First Asian Cup Appearance: 1996
Indonesia first played in the AFC Asian Cup in 1996. They drew 2–2 with Kuwait, earning one point.
Fair Play Issue: 1998 Tiger Cup
In the 1998 Tiger Cup, Indonesia played Thailand. Both teams had already qualified for the semi-finals. However, the winner would have to play hosts Vietnam. Indonesia's Mursyid Effendi deliberately scored an own goal. This was to avoid playing Vietnam. FIFA fined both teams. Effendi was banned from international football for life.
Asian Cup Victories: 2000 & 2004
Indonesia played in the Asian Cup again in 2000. They earned one point from a 0–0 draw with Kuwait. In the 2004 AFC Asian Cup, Indonesia got their first-ever win in the tournament. They beat Qatar 2–1. However, this win was not enough to move past the group stage.
Co-hosting the Asian Cup: 2007

Indonesia was one of four countries to co-host the 2007 AFC Asian Cup. This was a first for the tournament. In their opening match, Indonesia beat Bahrain 2–1. But they lost their next two matches to Saudi Arabia and South Korea. They did not reach the knockout stage.
AFF Championship Finals
Indonesia has reached the finals of the AFF Championship six times (2000, 2002, 2004, 2010, 2016, and 2020). However, they have never won the trophy.
Challenges and Suspensions: 2012–2016
In 2012, PSSI faced problems because there were two separate football leagues in Indonesia. FIFA warned PSSI about this issue. If the problems were not fixed, FIFA could suspend Indonesia. This meant the national team would not be able to play in international competitions.

In 2013, the PSSI president signed an agreement to fix the league issues. This allowed players from both leagues to join the national team. However, in 2015, FIFA suspended PSSI again. This was because the government interfered with how football was run. This suspension stopped Indonesia from playing in the 2018 World Cup and 2019 Asian Cup qualifiers. FIFA lifted the suspension 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 was meant to lead both the senior and U-22 teams. However, Milla left before the 2018 AFF Championship. Indonesia was knocked out in the group stage of that tournament.
Later, Scottish coach Simon McMenemy was hired. But the team's performance got worse. Indonesia lost all four of their World Cup qualifying matches, including two against Malaysia and one against Vietnam. McMenemy was sacked in November 2019. Indonesia was then officially out of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification.
Shin Tae-yong Era: 2020–Present
After the World Cup qualification failure, PSSI appointed Shin Tae-yong as head coach. He was the first South Korean coach for Indonesia. His main task was to build a strong team for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup qualification.
Under Shin Tae-yong, many young players from the Indonesia national under-23 football team joined the senior squad. Indonesia reached the 2020 AFF Championship final with a very young team.
Qualifying for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup
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. In their final match, Indonesia beat Nepal 7–0. This big win helped Indonesia qualify for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup after 16 years. They were drawn into a tough group with Japan, Iraq, and Vietnam.
2026 FIFA World Cup Qualification Journey
On June 19, 2023, Indonesia played a friendly match against the 2022 FIFA World Cup champions, Argentina. Argentina won 2–0.
Indonesia started their 2026 World Cup qualification journey in the first round. They easily defeated Brunei with a total score of 12–0 over two games.
In the second round, Indonesia was in a group with Iraq, Vietnam, and the Philippines. They lost 5–1 to Iraq and drew with the Philippines.
2023 AFC Asian Cup Performance
Before the 2023 AFC Asian Cup, Indonesia played friendly matches against Libya and Iran.
In the Asian Cup, Indonesia lost their first match 1–3 to Iraq. In the 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. In their last group match, Indonesia lost 1–3 to Japan.
Even with two losses, Indonesia made it to the Round of 16. They qualified 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 AFC Asian Cup. In the Round of 16, Indonesia lost 0–4 to Australia.
Advancing in World Cup Qualifiers
Indonesia continued their 2026 World Cup qualification journey. They beat Vietnam twice in March, 1–0 in Jakarta and 3–0 in Hanoi. The 3–0 win was their first victory in Vietnam since 2004. These wins moved Indonesia up to second place in their group. They also surpassed Malaysia in the FIFA ranking for the first time in five years.
In April 2024, PSSI announced that Shin Tae-yong's contract was extended until 2027.
In June 2024, Indonesia lost 0–2 to Iraq at home. However, they defeated the Philippines 2–0 in their final match. Indonesia finished as Group F runner-up. This means they qualified for the 2027 AFC Asian Cup and, for the first time ever, reached the third round of World Cup qualification.
In the third round, Indonesia is 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, they drew 2–2 with Bahrain but lost 1–2 to China. In November, they lost 0–4 to Japan. However, they then surprised everyone by beating Saudi Arabia 2–0, with Marselino Ferdinan scoring both goals.
Team Image
Kits and Crest
When the team was called Dutch East Indies, they wore orange jerseys. This was the national color of the Netherlands. After Indonesia became independent, the team started wearing red and white. These are the colors of the country's flag. Sometimes, green and white were used for away kits.
Erspo is the team's current kit supplier, starting in 2024. Before that, Nike and Mills supplied the kits. When playing in multi-sport events like the Asian Games and Southeast Asian Games, Indonesia wears kits from Li-Ning.
From 2007 to 2019, Nike was the kit supplier. 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.
In 2020, Indonesia started using kits from local brand Mills. The home kit was red and white with a special silhouette design. The away kit was white and green. They also had a black third kit with gold stripes.

Rivalries
Indonesia has a big football rivalry with Malaysia. This is one of the most famous rivalries in Southeast Asia. The two countries have played 99 times. Indonesia has won 40 matches, drawn 21, and lost 38. This rivalry became intense due to political tensions in the 1960s.
Matches between Indonesia and Malaysia are always exciting. They are often watched by many fans and can have controversial moments. In 2011, two fans died during a stampede at a Southeast Asian Games final between the under-23 teams. The most recent match was in the 2020 AFF Championship, where Indonesia won 4–1.
Indonesia also has rivalries with other nearby countries. These include Thailand, Vietnam, and Singapore.
Media Coverage
MNC Media broadcasts some of the national team's matches. Since 2020, MNC mainly covers matches in the ASEAN Championship and AFC Asian Cup. Other networks like Emtek also broadcast matches.
Indonesia's qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and 2027 AFC Asian Cup are shown on RCTI (MNC Media) and Indosiar and SCTV (Emtek).
Home Stadiums
In the early days, when the team was the Dutch East Indies, they did not have a home stadium. They played all their games away or at neutral locations. 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. It became Indonesia's new national stadium. It can hold over 77,193 fans. It is one of the largest football stadiums in the world. Indonesia's first game there was in 1962 against the Philippines, which they won 6–0. This stadium has been used for almost all major home games, including the 2007 AFC Asian Cup matches.
In 2023, the Jakarta International Stadium also became a home stadium for the team. This stadium is in North Jakarta and can hold 82,000 people. It is the largest stadium in Indonesia. Indonesia also uses other stadiums for home matches, such as Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium and Patriot Stadium.
