Indonesia national team coach John Herdman, appointed in January 2026, has announced a provisional 41-player squad for the FIFA Series 2026 in Jakarta, starting March 27 against Saint Kitts and Nevis. The list features diaspora talents like Jay Idzes and Emil Audero from Italy's Serie A, returning defender Elkan Baggott, and domestic goalkeeper Cahya Supriadi, while omitting strong performers Teja Paku Alam and Rafael Struick.
Following FIFA's January announcement, the Rwanda-hosted groups of the expanded FIFA Series 2026 have begun in Kigali, featuring eight lower-ranked national teams from Africa, Europe, North and Central America, and Asia competing at Amahoro Stadium and Kigali Pelé Stadium. The event provides rare international matchups during this international break.
