Coach Park's miracle is about to be surpassed by Indonesia
Southeast Asian football is preparing to welcome a new historical milestone.
If in the past, coach Park Hang-seo made history with the Vietnamese team when he won 4 points in the third qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup, now coach Shin Tae Yong is challenging his achievement.
In the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Mr. Shin's Indonesia is making a splash by drawing with Saudi Arabia and Australia in the final Asian qualifying round. Indonesia currently has 2 points and is ranked 4th on the rankings.
Indonesia’s strength has improved significantly recently thanks largely to the naturalized players. Goalkeeper Maarten Paes is in top form, saving a penalty to help Indonesia escape defeat against Saudi Arabia and then keeping a clean sheet against Australia.
