PSSI Executive Committee member Arya Sinulingga revealed that the Indonesian national team players will gather for the 2026 FIFA World Cup after Eid al-Fitr.
Arya said this step was taken so that Indonesian Muslim players could celebrate Eid with their families.
"Yes, after Eid, of course," said Arya while attending the launch of the new Indonesian national team jersey with Kelme at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup, which Indonesia will host at the GBK Stadium, will host Saint Kitts and Nevis before facing either Bulgaria or the Solomon Islands on March 30.
To face this tournament, coach John Herdman called up a 41-name provisional squad, consisting of 24 players who play in the BRI Super League and 17 players who have careers abroad.
