Indonesia host the Philippines at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta on Tuesday for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, looking to book their place in the third round of the campaign. With seven points in five games, Indonesia are currently second in Group F, just one point ahead of Vietnam, who will be aiming to move into the top two position on the final day.
However, if Team Garuda equals or betters their result on the final day, then their passage into the next round will be secured.
Having begun their campaign with a 5-1 demolition at the hands of Iraq, and then drawing against their upcoming opponents, the southeast Asian side picked up pace with consecutive wins over Vietnam. The Lions of Mesopotamia came back to haunt them again on Thursday by inflicting a 2-0 defeat on them, but all's not lost yet for Shin Tae-yong's side.
The Philippines, by contrast, have witnessed a more underwhelming campaign, failing to win any of their five qualifier games. Their only point in the bag so far came courtesy of a 1-1 draw with Indonesia on matchday two. All the reat have ended in defeats.
Ranked 141st in the world, the Street Dogs haven't won an official game since September 2023, when they beat Afghanistan 2-1 in a friendly match, six games ago. Can they have the last laugh on the final day of the qualifiers?
