\nHow they got there: Round 2 Group F runners-up
\n\u06f2\u06f0\u06f2\u06f2 AFC Asian Qualifiers Record: Round 2
\nPrevious FIFA World Cup appearances: 1
\nHead Coach: Shin Tae-yong (KOR)
\nFun Fact: Indonesia are making their first-ever appearance in the third round of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers in the current format.
\nHead coach Shin Tae-yong knows a thing or two about taking a team to a FIFA World Cup, having rescued Korea Republic from a flagging qualifying campaign to reach Russia 2018 but the tactician knows his Indonesia side face a massive challenge.
\n\u201cIf we look at the FIFA rankings, we are aware there won\u2019t be any easy games for us,\u201d he said. \u201cOur ranking at 134 makes us one of the lowest ranked sides of all those that reached Round 3.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, that is not a deterrent to my dreams or the players\u2019 dreams. We will give it our all and never give up.\u201dGiven Indonesia’s ranking, Shin knows that Indonesia will not draw easy opponents with the Southeast Asian side looking to emulate the squad of the 1938 edition – then known as Dutch East Indies – by qualifying for upcoming global showpiece.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s almost certain that we\u2019ll meet one of three from Korea Republic, Japan or (Islamic Republic of) Iran. Of the three, Korea Republic are the ones I know more of – so that could be better for us.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the other teams, if we get sides that we\u2019ve played before, then I\u2019m confident we will be able to fight for third or fourth position. We have to contemplate all possibilities, including the playoffs.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
