Indonesia National Team’s September FIFA Matchday Plans Shift After Kuwait Cancels Friendly

The Indonesia national football team’s planned friendly match against Kuwait during the September FIFA Matchday has been canceled. The Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) received official notice from Kuwait’s football federation about the withdrawal, which also affected Kuwait’s participation in a tournament held in the UAE. The exact reasons behind Kuwait’s decision remain unclear, as no official explanation has been provided.
With the cancellation, Indonesia will now only face Lebanon in their September international fixture. The PSSI president highlighted that this change offers an opportunity for the team to extend their training camp and focus on preparing for the upcoming match against Lebanon. The coaching staff is using this extra time to enhance team cohesion and strategy.
Though the possibility of arranging another opponent remains open, the association is cautious about forcing an additional match if it could hinder the team’s preparation quality. The emphasis is on maximizing training and allowing the players sufficient time to adapt ahead of future competitions.
In summary, while the Kuwait friendly was canceled unexpectedly, the Indonesian team is adapting its schedule by prioritizing a single match against Lebanon and utilizing the extended preparation period to build a stronger squad for upcoming challenges.
