Teknowarta – Star defender Jay Idzes has confirmed he will miss the Indonesian National Team’s highly anticipated June 2026 FIFA Matchday fixtures. Idzes expressed deep disappointment at being unable to reinforce the Garuda Squad during this important period.
The upcoming FIFA Matchday schedule in June will see the Indonesian National Team challenge Oman on June 5th, followed by a clash with Mozambique on June 9th, 2026. Both crucial matches are slated to take place at the iconic Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK) in Senayan, Central Jakarta, promising thrilling encounters for local fans.
Regrettably, Idzes will not be donning the national colors for these significant encounters. The Garuda Squad captain is forced to sit out as he continues his recovery from a lingering injury, a setback that has undoubtedly affected both the player and the team’s preparations.

Idzes openly conveyed his frustration regarding his forced absence from the national squad. However, the 25-year-old player acknowledged that this decision was ultimately for the best, as he is not yet 100 percent fit for competitive play and prioritizes his long-term health.
“Disappointed not to be with the team this time, but sometimes the best decision is to take a step back as a precaution and ensure oneself is truly ready for future challenges,” Idzes shared on his personal Instagram account, a post picked up on Saturday (May 30, 2026).
Despite his personal disappointment, Idzes remains optimistic and wished the Indonesian National Team sweet success in both upcoming matches. He also affirmed his unwavering support for the Garuda Squad, emphasizing that he would be cheering them on vigorously, even from afar.
“Good luck, players. I will always support from afar,” Idzes stated, showcasing his commitment to the team’s spirit despite his physical absence.

Following a period of recovery, Idzes was briefly declared fit and even featured in Sassuolo’s final week encounter against Parma, a testament to his determination. However, misfortune struck when he suffered a severe collision during the match and had to be withdrawn from the pitch prematurely, aggravating his condition.
