- Indonesia were the biggest climbers in the latest FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking
- The FIFA Forward and Talent Development Programmes are playing a key role in Indonesia’s progress
- The long-term target is to participate at the FIFA World Cup™
The last few months have been busy in Indonesia in terms of football. Between November and December 2023, the country hosted the FIFA U-17 World Cup™ and in the latest men’s FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking, Indonesia were the team with the biggest rise in places and points. Football in Indonesia and the Indonesian Football Federation (PSSI) are developing exponentially with FIFA’s contribution. “The FIFA U-17 World Cup hosted by Indonesia last year had a profound impact on the country’s football development, particularly in infrastructure and legacy. Providing a platform for young talents to showcase their skills on a global stage, the tournament boosted player development and exposure, crucial for their growth,” the PSSI told FIFA Inside.
