Indonesia Advances in Asian World Cup Qualifiers as Regional Rivals Miss Out
A recent victory over the Philippines has secured Indonesia’s spot in the third round of Asian qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, also guaranteeing them a place in the 2027 AFC Asian Cup. The win, achieved with goals from Thom Haye and Rizky Ridho, puts Indonesia in a strong position to be the only Southeast Asian nation with a chance of reaching the World Cup.
Despite Indonesia’s success, regional rivals like Thailand narrowly missed out on advancing, with a 3-1 win over Singapore falling short of the required margin. Vietnam, on the other hand, faced elimination despite a strong performance in previous rounds.
Malaysia, facing a must-win situation against Chinese Taipei, managed to secure a 3-1 victory after falling behind early in the match. However, their chances of advancing depend on the outcome of other matches later in the evening.
Overall, the latest results have brought both joy and disappointment to various Southeast Asian nations, with Indonesia emerging as a standout performer in the ongoing World Cup qualifiers.
