RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - The Indonesian 7-on-7 football (FA7) national team has achieved a historic milestone by advancing to the semifinals of the IFA7 World Championship 2026 in Honduras.
The Merah-Putih squad is set to face global powerhouse Brazil on Sunday, May 31, in the early hours of Western Indonesian Time (WIB).
This dramatic breakthrough marks the first time an Indonesian FA7 team has reached the final four of a world tournament, elevating the country’s status from participant to emerging contender on the international stage.
“I am proud and grateful to all the players, coaches, officials, sponsors, and the Indonesian people who have continued to provide full support during the team’s struggle in Honduras. This is a historic achievement for Football 7 Indonesia. Every element of the team has worked hard and shown that Indonesia is capable of competing at the world level,” said FA7 Indonesia President Bambang Pramukantoro in an official statement received in Jakarta on Saturday, May 30, as quoted by Antara.
Officials noted that reaching the semifinals alone represents a golden achievement for Indonesian sports. Yet the Garuda squad’s fighting spirit suggests they are not content with simply making history.
With the ultimate dream now within reach, millions of Indonesians are rallying behind the team, hoping FA7 Indonesia can deliver the tournament’s biggest upset against Brazil.
The squad’s exceptional run in Honduras has captured global attention, proving that systematic preparation and determination can elevate Indonesian football to elite competitive tiers. ***
