Indonesia’s national football team holds a FIFA ranking of 118 with 1157.14 points following a 1-0 victory over Mozambique in the Garuda Championship Series on June 9, 2026. According to official FIFA data, the win—secured by an Ole Romeny goal—added 5.69 points to Indonesia’s tally, maintaining their position just behind Sudan and ahead of Sierra Leone.
How FIFA Ranking Points Are Calculated
FIFA calculates team rankings using the SUM formula, which adds or subtracts points based on match results, the importance of the game, and the relative strength of the opponent. According to the FIFA World Ranking procedure, a victory in a friendly tournament like the Garuda Championship Series provides fewer points than a win in a World Cup qualifier.
What Does the Victory Mean for Indonesia’s Regional Standing?
Despite the recent wins against Oman and Mozambique, Indonesia remains the third-highest-ranked team in Southeast Asia. Based on the latest FIFA data, Thailand holds the regional lead at 94th, followed by Vietnam at 99th. While Indonesia’s 1157.14 points show growth, they still trail the top two regional rivals by a significant margin in total rating points.
Comparison of Southeast Asian Standings
- Thailand: 94th globally
- Vietnam: 99th globally
- Indonesia: 118th globally
Why Did Mozambique’s Ranking Drop?
Mozambique fell two places to 103rd in the world rankings following their loss to Indonesia. According to the standard FIFA weighting system, losing to an opponent ranked lower in the table results in a steeper deduction of points than a loss to a higher-ranked team. This outcome highlights the risks inherent in playing friendly matches against lower-ranked nations.
Future Outlook for the Garuda Squad
Under head coach John Herdman, the team is currently on a two-match winning streak. The 3-0 win against Oman earlier in June served as the primary catalyst for the current point surge. To climb into the top 100, Indonesia must maintain consistency against higher-ranked opponents in upcoming official international windows.
