The Indonesian national football team has officially announced its 23-man squad for the upcoming June 2026 FIFA Matchday fixtures. Under the guidance of head coach John Herdman, the Garuda squad is set to face Oman on June 5 and Mozambique on June 9, 2026, at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK) in Jakarta.
The squad announcement brings significant changes, most notably the absence of team captain Jay Idzes, who is sidelined with a heel injury. In his stead, Herdman has called up young defender Mathew Baker, who has primarily gained experience in the youth ranks. Furthermore, several regulars such as Jordi Amat, Eliano Reijnders, and Tim Geypens have been left off the list, a move intended to refresh the roster and refine the team’s tactical composition for these upcoming international matches.
As preparations intensify, several diaspora players based in Europe have begun arriving in Jakarta for the training camp. High-profile additions include Kevin Diks and Emil Audero. The arrival of the Borussia Mönchengladbach and Cremonese stars was highlighted in a recent video posted on the official Indonesian national team social media channels on Sunday, June 1, 2026.
While the final starting lineups for the clashes against Oman and Mozambique are yet to be confirmed, Diks and Audero are strong contenders to earn further caps for the national team. Kevin Diks enjoyed an impressive debut season in the German Bundesliga, scoring five goals in 30 appearances and helping his club secure a 12th-place finish with 38 points. Meanwhile, Emil Audero proved his consistency in the Italian league; although Cremonese faced relegation from Serie A, the 29-year-old goalkeeper was a constant presence, missing only four matches throughout the season and keeping 11 clean sheets.
Beyond Diks and Audero, other diaspora players have already joined the camp, including Ragnar Oratmangoen from Dender and Ole Romeny of Oxford United. They are joined by Indonesian Super League talents Ivar Jenner, Rizky Ridho, and Beckham Putra. In the team’s official video, Ridho and Beckham were seen greeting fans, with Ridho stating, “Hello Garuda fans, we are back.”
Both matches at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium are scheduled to kick off at 20:00 WIB. The Garuda squad will take on Oman this Friday, June 5, 2026, followed by the match against Mozambique four days later.
