Indonesia will meet Saudi Arabia at the King Abdullah Sports City in the fourth round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers on Wednesday. Saudi Arabia have qualified for the group stage of the World Cup in the previous two editions and will look to secure qualification this time as well.
Tim Garuda met Japan in their final third-round qualifying match in June and suffered a 3-0 loss. They were last in action in two friendlies last month. After a comfortable 6-0 win over Chinese Taipei, they were held to a goalless draw by Lebanon.
The Green Falcons also concluded their third qualifying round with a loss, as they lost 2-1 at home to Australia in June. They were unbeaten in friendlies against North Macedonia and Czechia last month, recording a win and a draw, respectively.
