These crucial encounters will see the Garuda squad face Oman on June 5th, followed by a clash against Mozambique on June 9th, 2026. Both matches are set to take place at the iconic Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK) in Senayan, Central Jakarta, promising a vibrant home atmosphere for the national team.

The Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) officially released the 23-man roster on Sunday evening, May 31st, ahead of these upcoming challenges. Notably, Jakarta-based club Persija Jakarta emerged as the strongest contributor, with four of its players earning a call-up. The ‘Macan Kemayoran’ (Kemayoran Tigers) will be represented by Rizky Ridho, Rayhan Hannan, Dony Tri Pamungkas, and Mauro Zijlstra, making them the club with the most players in the national squad.

Among these four, Rayhan Hannan stands out as the newest inclusion by coach Herdman, marking his debut call-up to the senior team. His club teammates, Rizky Ridho, Mauro Zijlstra, and Dony Tri Pamungkas, are already familiar with Herdman’s system, having featured in the FIFA Series tournament in March 2026.

Following Persija Jakarta, Persib Bandung claims the spot as the second-highest contributor, with two of its stars joining the national camp: Beckham Putra and Saddil Ramdani. Saddil’s return is particularly noteworthy, marking his comeback to the ‘Garuda Squad’ after an absence of approximately two years, during which he was overlooked by two previous national team coaches. His last appearance for Indonesia was in January 2024, during a friendly match against Libya.

Beyond these established names, another inclusion has significantly captured the attention of Indonesian football fans: the surprising call-up of Mathew Baker, a rising star from the Indonesia U-19 National Team.

What makes Baker’s selection truly unexpected is that the 17-year-old talent was not initially part of the provisional 44-player training camp roster. However, he did participate in a recent national team training session at Madya Stadium. This call-up presents a unique challenge, as Mathew Baker is simultaneously expected to represent the Indonesia U-19 team in the AFF U-19 Cup 2026, scheduled from June 1st to 14th. This dual commitment means the ‘Young Garuda’ squad could potentially be without their key player during the crucial group stage matches.
