The South Asian country, one of the most populous globally, has a passion for football, but World Cup qualification is a significant challenge.
John Herdman has made a major shift in his coaching career. The 50-year-old transitioned from Canada, where soccer isn’t the dominant sport, to Indonesia, where it decidedly is. Achieving the same success he did in 2022 for the 2030 World Cup would make him a national hero for 280 million Indonesians eager to rejoin the global stage. Canada experienced a 36-year gap between their first and second World Cup appearances. If the new coach in Jakarta succeeds, it will end what would be a 92-year wait for Indonesia.
