How a Win Against Chinese Taipei Could Boost Indonesia’s FIFA Ranking in September 2025
Indonesia's national football team is set to face Chinese Taipei in a crucial FIFA Matchday game at Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium. This match not only serves as a warm-up for upcoming major tournaments but also has significant implications for Indonesia’s standing in the FIFA rankings. Currently ranked 118th, Indonesia is set to challenge a much lower-ranked Chinese Taipei team, positioned at 172nd.
The outcome of the match carries potential shifts in ranking points. A victory would earn Indonesia an additional 3.25 points, which could elevate them to 116th place, surpassing teams like Libya and Zimbabwe. Conversely, a draw would result in a loss of 1.75 points, and a defeat could cost as much as 6.75 points. This highlights the high stakes despite facing an opponent far below in the rankings.
Chinese Taipei’s coach, Huang Zheming, remains confident his team will put up a strong fight, aiming to challenge Indonesia on their home ground. Meanwhile, the Indonesian coach, Patrick Kluivert, stresses that while the ranking points are important, the primary focus is on the team’s performance and execution of their prepared strategy. Discipline and consistency are key elements he emphasizes for the upcoming match.
Kluivert appreciates Chinese Taipei’s willingness to participate but insists that Indonesia’s priority lies in controlling their own game and applying pressure on the opponent. The match is not just about rankings but about solidifying the team’s readiness for bigger challenges ahead.
