The Indonesian national team will host one of Asia’s strongest teams, Japan in the continuation of Group C Round 3 of the 2026 World Cup Qualifications in the Asian zone, at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK), Jakarta, Friday (15/11/2024). The Indonesian national team is temporarily in fifth place with three points from four matches. Meanwhile, Japan stands firmly at the top of Group C with 10 points, untouched by defeat. Takefusa Kubo and his friends seemed to be running alone at the top of Group C after beating China (7-0), Bahrain (5-0), Saudi Arabia (2-0), and having just been held to a 1-1 draw by Australia. The results in the last match against Australia were a kind of warning for Japan. They seemed to have difficulty overcoming Australia in front of their own supporters.
