Indonesian national futsal team coach Hector Souto has dampened public expectations, despite the Garuda squad winning the gold medal at the 2025 SEA Games and hosting the 2026 Futsal Asia Cup, which will begin.
In a press conference ahead of the competition, Souto assessed that achievements in the Southeast Asian region cannot be used as the main benchmark for facing Asian-level opponents.
"Expectations sometimes don't match reality. We know every match is a final, and that's how we approach it," Souto said in a press conference at the Indonesia.
