New Faces and Key Returns in Indonesia's 23-Man Squad for Jakarta Training Camp Ahead of AFF 2026

The Indonesian national team has announced a 23-player squad for a training camp in Jakarta scheduled from May 26 to May 30, 2026, as part of their preparation for the upcoming AFF 2026 tournament. The selection reflects a balanced mix of experienced players and emerging talents, with head coach John Herdman aiming to refine team chemistry before the competition intensifies.

In the goalkeeping department, the squad includes Cahya Supriadi from PSIM Yogyakarta, Muhammad Riyandi representing Persis Solo, and Nadeo Argawinata of Borneo FC Samarinda. The defensive line also features several notable names from clubs such as Persija Jakarta, Dewa United, and Persib Bandung, highlighting a strong domestic core.

The midfield stands out as the most diverse area, combining youth and experience. Players such as Marselino Ferdinan, Thom Haye, Marc Klok, and Witan Sulaeman bring creativity and stability, while others like Egy Maulana Vikri and Ricky Kambuaya add attacking versatility. Marselino's return is particularly significant after recovering from a long-term injury, while Thom Haye's comeback strengthens the team's midfield depth.

In attack, the squad includes five forwards led by Hokky Caraka, Saddil Ramdani, and several young prospects like Jens Raven and Rizky Eka Pratama. Their presence signals an intent to build a dynamic frontline capable of adapting to different tactical approaches during the tournament.

Following the training camp, the team is expected to continue preparations for FIFA Matchday in June 2026, where they will face Oman in Jakarta. With multiple clubs such as Persija Jakarta, Persib Bandung, Borneo FC Samarinda, and Dewa United contributing several players, the squad reflects a strong collaboration across the domestic league, setting high expectations for the months ahead.
