Jakarta. Indonesia's head coach, Shin Tae-yong, has named 27 players for the national football team to face Bahrain on October 10 and China on October 15 in the third round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Among those called up is Jordi Amat from Johor Darul Ta'zim, who has returned from injury. However, Wolverhampton defender Justin Hubner is absent this time due to injury.

The squad also features two new faces: Mees Hilgers and Eliano Reijnders, both of whom recently acquired Indonesian citizenship on Sept. 30. It’s possible that one or both may debut in the upcoming matches.

Hilgers, born on May 13, 2001, currently plays as a center-back for Eredivisie club Twente.
