According to calculations by the FIFA rankings, the Indonesian team has been added 15.05 points, raising the total score to 1,157.98 and rising to 116th in the world, up 7 places compared to the most recent update.
With a 0-1 victory over China, Indonesia officially qualified for the 4th qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup in Asia and became the team with the 3rd highest FIFA ranking in Southeast Asia, after Thailand (98th) and Vietnam (109th).
On June 10, Indonesia will visit Japan. With a chance to continue, the team from the land of the rising sun will not have to field the strongest squad, as coach Moriyasu continues to eliminate 3 more pillars, Minamino, Morita and Sugawara, in addition to the absence of a series of stars such as Mitoma, Ito or Doan.
This is considered an opportunity for Indonesia to earn more points if they get a positive result against the world-class team of 17.
Meanwhile, the Vietnamese and Thai teams are facing a lot of pressure to maintain their positions in the region. The Vietnam team will meet Malaysia on June 10 in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers. If they win, coach Kim Sang-sik and his team can add about 11 points, but if they lose, they will be deducted nearly 14 points and risk falling deep.
Thailand, after a 2-0 victory in a friendly match with India, will travel to Turkmenistan with the mission of having to win to keep the top spot in Group D of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers.
