Jakarta, Todaysgist.com – The Indonesian national team will wear a white jersey or uniform in the second match of Group C of the third round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the Asian Zone at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium, Jakarta, Tuesday (10/9/2024) evening WIB against Australia. This was confirmed by the manager of the Indonesian National Team, Senior Commissioner Pol Sumardji.

“(Wearing a) white jersey,” said Sumardji to Todaysgist.com, Tuesday (10/9/2024).

The Indonesian national team also wore a white jersey when they held Saudi Arabia to a 1-1 draw in the first match of Group C of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the Asian Zone at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium, Jeddah, Friday (6/9/2024) WIB.

Indonesia took a 1-0 lead through Ragnar Oratmangoen’s goal. The FCV Dender striker got a shooting space, shot the ball with his left foot. The ball deflected and hit Sandy Walsh.

Then, Saudi Arabia replied through Musab Fahz Aljuwayr who scored a goal in the 45+3 minute.

In that match, Indonesia wore a white jersey, while Saudi Arabia wore a green jersey.

The draw against Saudi Arabia also gave the Garuda squad a valuable point from the away match in Jeddah.

The white jersey is indeed identical to the Garuda squad for use in away matches. Previously, Thom Haye et al also wore a white jersey when they beat Vietnam 3-0 in the second round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Hanoi.

At that time, Jay Idzes, Ragnar Oratmangoen, and Ramadhan Sananta were the stars of the Garuda squad’s victory over Vietnam.

Regarding the jersey used by the Indonesian national team to play against Australia, Sumardji previously said that the choice of jersey color was also discussed beforehand with PSSI General Chairman Erick Thohir.

“The instinct is what is best. It has always been like that. The instinct is what is best for the team, because the jersey is also part of the ritual that we have to carry out,” said Sumardji, Sunday (8/9/2024).
