Liputan6.com, Jakarta – Ahead of the important match between the Indonesian National Team (Timnas) and Japan in Group C of the third round of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup in the Asian zone, the enthusiasm of the Indonesian people is increasingly burning.
The plan is for the Indonesian national team to compete at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium, Friday (15/11/2024), at 19.00 WIB.
It is predicted that this duel will be a big challenge for the Garuda team. The reason is that Japan’s current ranking is far above Indonesia, namely in 15th position in the world.
Even so, public optimism remains high, especially regarding the struggles of Shin Tae-yong’s foster children who are expected to be able to provide the best performance.

It was recorded that more than 13.6 thousand tweets from netizens filled X’s timeline with prayers and support for the Indonesian national team.
The majority of netizens’ comments show great hope and confidence, even though facing a strong team, nothing is impossible for Garuda to show a solid game.
