Indonesia Climbs FIFA Rankings Ahead of Crucial World Cup Qualifier
The Indonesian national football team has received a morale boost ahead of the June 2025 FIFA Matchday following an upward movement in the latest FIFA rankings. Although the rise is not dramatic, it reflects the team’s recent improvements and serves as motivation heading into the third round of the 2026 World Cup Asian qualifiers. With a key match against China scheduled at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, the momentum generated by this ranking shift adds extra energy to both players and fans.
The improvement stems from Indonesia’s solid performances in recent fixtures, particularly in World Cup qualifiers. Under head coach Patrick Kluivert, the team has shown progress in tactics and resilience, which is starting to reflect in their global standing. The upcoming FIFA Matchday offers a critical opportunity to earn more points by facing higher-ranked opponents, turning each victory into a potential leap in the rankings.
Regionally, the dynamics among Southeast Asian nations in the FIFA rankings remain competitive, with some teams maintaining stability and others on the verge of change. Indonesia currently sits at 123rd in the world, holding 1,142.92 points after a key victory over Bahrain in March. That win earned them 16.57 additional points and helped the team climb seven places, showing tangible rewards from their recent form.
A win against China, ranked 94th with 1,250.95 points, could be a major breakthrough. According to projections, defeating China would add 15.1 points to Indonesia’s tally, potentially lifting them to 117th in the world. This would place them ahead of several nations, including North Korea, Libya, and Estonia. The match presents a pivotal moment for Indonesia to solidify its resurgence on the global football stage.
