The Indonesian national futsal team is preparing for the 2025 SEA Games in Thailand in December as part of a friendly match against Australia.
The Garuda team is scheduled to meet Australia in a friendly match included in the FIFA Match Day calendar which will take place at the Indonesia Arena, Jakarta, Saturday at 19.30 WIB.
"It's very important for us that the Australian team can join (in the friendly matches) this week because we are preparing for the SEA Games and the AFC," said Indonesian national team coach Hector Souto at a press conference in Jakarta on Thursday.
Hector Souto admitted that this match was very important for the Garuda team because this trial was against Australia, whose playing style emphasizes physicality.
"So for us, having you (Australia) here is very important because we can also see ourselves," said the Brazilian coach.
