Indonesia's story so far

Indonesia are one of 160 national teams who have never won a FIFA World Cup or their confederation's continental championship — the same two-tier standard tracked for every team on this site. Indonesia, then the Dutch East Indies, became the first Asian team to appear at a World Cup in 1938, losing 6-0 to Hungary. In 2023 they reached the Asian Cup round of 16 for the first time in the modern era.

What would it take?

To join the 51 nations already tracked here, Indonesia would need to win either the FIFA World Cup or the AFC Asian Cup — the top continental honor in the Asia (AFC) region. Both remain fully open: there's no ranking or seeding that rules a team out permanently, only qualification and results on the pitch.
