Coach Park's remarkable achievement is about to be surpassed by Indonesia.
Southeast Asian football is preparing to celebrate a new historic milestone.
While in the past, coach Park Hang-seo made history with the Vietnamese national team by earning 4 points in the third round of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, now coach Shin Tae Yong is challenging his achievement.
In the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Shin's Indonesia is making a name for itself by drawing with Saudi Arabia and Australia in the final round of the Asian qualifiers. Indonesia currently has 2 points and is ranked 4th in the standings.
Indonesia's strength has improved significantly recently, largely thanks to naturalized players. In particular, goalkeeper Maarten Paes is showing outstanding form, saving a penalty to prevent Indonesia from losing to Saudi Arabia and then keeping a clean sheet against Australia.
