Indonesia's National Team to Face China in Crucial Match on the Eve of Eid Al-Adha

Indonesia's national team is set to face China in a crucial matchday 9 group C World Cup 2026 qualifying match. The Garuda team aims to secure three points to keep their hopes of reaching the fourth round alive.

The match between Indonesia and China will be held at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium in Jakarta on Thursday (5/6/2025). The kickoff is scheduled for 8:45 PM WIB, coinciding with the eve of Eid Al-Adha.

Currently, Indonesia sits at fourth place in the group C standings with nine points, while China leads the group with six points.

A win for Indonesia will secure their spot in the fourth round, while China's fate hangs in the balance as they desperately need three points to stay in the running.

The match is expected to be a thrilling encounter, with Indonesia seeking revenge for their previous loss to China, who won 2-1. Indonesia's recent victory over Bahrain in a home match has boosted their confidence, but they face a tough opponent in China, who is struggling with three consecutive losses.
