Indonesian fans are especially interested in the two matches against Vietnam in the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup.
Two weeks before the match Indonesia hosted Vietnam team In the first leg of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Asia, tickets for the "first leg" match were almost sold out.
At the match taking place at Bung Karno (Jakarta), the organizers issued 4 ticket prices including 100,000, 200,000, 400,000 and 750,000 rupiah (equivalent to 175,000 VND to 1.175 million VND).
Although Bung Karno Stadium has a capacity of 80,000 seats, it is still not enough to meet the demand of Indonesian fans to watch the match, showing the great heat of the match.
Preparing for the match against Vietnam and Indonesia expected to continue using many naturalized players. Recently, coach Shin Tae Yong went to Europe to check the performance of these players. If he has enough players, the Korean strategist can use a team full of naturalized players. At the 2023 Asian Cup, with the advantage of having many "Westerners", Indonesia defeated the Vietnamese team 1-0.
For their part, the Vietnamese team will gather on March 12. Before the gathering, Coach Troussier motivated his players: "The Vietnamese team is preparing for the matches with careful preparation and a positive spirit. With the encouragement of the fans, we always enter the field with a warm heart, with the spirit of never giving up of the Vietnamese people and trying our best to overcome all difficulties and challenges."
