National Football Team Begins Training Ahead of World Cup Qualifiers

 


On Monday, January 20, in Surabaya, the Indonesian national football team began its first official training camp of the year to prepare for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

Thirty players were called up by head coach Shin Tae-yong, including several young talents who impressed in the domestic league last season. Training sessions are being held at Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium, where the team focuses on fitness, strategy, and tactical coordination. The Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) said the camp will run for two weeks.

Supporters have placed high expectations on the team, hoping Indonesia can advance further in the qualification stages than in previous years. Shin Tae-yong stated that discipline, teamwork, and mental strength will be key to success. Friendly matches are scheduled during the camp to assess player readiness.

The national team is set to play its first World Cup qualifier next month, with preparations now entering a crucial stage. PSSI has urged supporters across the country to continue backing the squad, both in the stadium and through positive encouragement on social media, as the players represent Indonesia on the international stage. The association believes that strong public support can boost the team’s confidence and motivation, particularly as they face technically strong opponents. Officials also emphasized the importance of unity between players, coaching staff, and fans to create an environment that helps the team deliver consistent and competitive performances throughout the qualifying campaign.
