FIFA ASEAN Cup 2026: Indonesia to face Thailand in final

Overview

Indonesia has secured a spot in the FIFA ASEAN Cup 2026 final following a dominant 9-2 victory over Bangladesh at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium. Mitchell Baker led the scoring with five goals, supported by strikes from Rizky Ridho, Justin Hubner, Luke Vickery, and Kevin Diks, who scored a crucial goal during stoppage time to seal the win. Bangladesh’s two goals were scored by Sahariar Emon and Farhaan Ali Wahid.

The victory allows Indonesia to top Group A with seven points, advancing ahead of Malaysia due to a higher total number of goals scored (11 compared to Malaysia's 9), despite both teams sharing a +7 goal difference. This advancement follows controversy involving the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM), which requested FIFA clarify an increase in stoppage time, and allegations of match-fixing regarding Malaysia’s 6-0 win against Singapore.

Bangladesh head coach Thomas Dooley noted the “significant gap in FIFA rankings and physical attributes” between the sides, attributing Indonesia’s strength to their experience in European and stronger domestic leagues.

Indonesia is set to face Thailand in the final on October 5 at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium. Thailand reached the final after defeating Vietnam 2-0. Amidst the tournament, FIFA President Gianni Infantino is scheduled to arrive in Indonesia on October 4 to attend the closing ceremony and inspect football facilities. Despite the success, Indonesia coach John Herdman previously expressed concern over the welfare of his players, reporting they have been subjected to “death threats and significant cyberbullying on social media”.

Claims

What the coverage asserts, and how many sources carry each claim.

Coverage disagrees

Sources make claims that cannot both be true. CLSTR reports the disagreement; it does not decide who is right.
