Indonesia AFF 2026 football updates – Late July

Entities: Persija Jakarta · Bernardo Tavares · Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium · Stadion Pakansari · Radovan Pankov

Overview

Indonesia’s senior men’s side, coached by John Herdman, confirmed a 26‑player squad after a 50‑player camp, keeping three goalkeepers and a mix of senior internationals, overseas‑based players and naturalised talent. The AFF Cup opened on 24 July 2026, with Indonesia slated to face Cambodia on 27 July at Pakansari Stadium, followed by Timor Leste and Vietnam.

Domestic action continued as Persebaya Surabaya edged Persija Jakarta 1‑0 in the President’s Cup group stage on 26 July. The win came via an own‑goal by Persija defender Radovan Pankov after a high‑pressing move, a point highlighted by Persebaya coach Bernardo Tavares. Persija’s Shin Tae‑yong noted the limited preparation time for his side, while Home Affairs Minister Tito Karnavian stressed the tournament’s role in boosting the economy and nurturing talent.

Ahead of the AFF opener, Herdman reiterated expectations of a comfortable two‑to‑three‑goal victory and named defender Rizky Ridho as a likely captain. Fitness concerns linger for winger Marselino Ferdinan, who suffered a training‑ground injury earlier in the camp. The match will be broadcast live on RCTI and streamed online, with BTN chairman Sumardji urging fans to fill the 30 000‑seat venue.

Earlier tournament news noted Singapore’s 2‑1 win over Cambodia and Vietnam’s naturalised forward line, while the squad’s chemistry was praised as a stepping‑stone toward the 2027 Asian Cup.
