Indonesian soccer aims to enter the world's top 50 in 2045.
CNN Indonesia reported on the 22nd, "Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) President Eric Tohir aims for the men's national team to be ranked in the top 50 in the 2045 FIFA rankings." Although PSSI once announced its goal of entering the top 100 by 2027 by renewing its contract with coach Shin Tae-yong, it is the first time that the team has proposed its vision to settle in the top 50 in the long run.
Indonesia, which is currently ranked 130th in FIFA rankings, has recently revealed its big challenge goal of raising more than 80 steps thanks to its confidence in Saudi Arabia. Indonesia, led by head coach Shin, won its first victory with a 2-0 victory over Saudi Arabia in the sixth round of the Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup. Indonesia, which won the long-awaited victory after three draws and two losses, rose from the bottom of Group C to third at once.
The confidence of catching Saudi Arabia, ranked 59th in the FIFA rankings, is believed to have influenced setting the goal of entering the top 50.
Tohir said, "Indonesia has a big program that aims to be ranked 50th in the world by 2045. In Asia, we aim to be in the top nine."
Indonesia is rapidly growing thanks to the appointment of Shin Tae-yong as coach and active recruitment of naturalized players. Indonesia, which was ranked 173rd in FIFA when Shin was appointed, jumped 43 notches in about four years.
"Of course this is a long-term program. What we are seeing today is the acceleration of our strategy, how faster our national team can reach the goals we want," Tohir said, expressing his focus on surging national team strength.
In fact, Indonesia is performing well with U-17, U-20, and U-23 age teams and senior teams advancing to the Asian Cup finals. 먹튀검증
