Ahead of this important match, the Chinese national team with the status of the visitors did not want to lose in gaining support at home to opponents. The Dragon Team is said to be getting direct support from around 2,800 supporters at SUGBK.

This full support is needed by China considering that Branko Ivankovic's team is indeed facing a tough task in the remaining two matches of Group C of the 2026 World Cup Qualification Third Round.

In fact, China must be able to win the remaining two matches against Indonesia and Bahrain to keep its hopes of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.

"More than a thousand (superporters) people will depart from other Southeast Asian countries. In addition, the supporter base in Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, and other countries will arrange supporters to come to Jakarta to watch the match."

China will also face a tough task when away to Indonesia headquarters. The reason is that currently the Red-White Team is also determined to make a comeback after losing 1-2 in the first meeting.

The Indonesian national team's confidence is also high because it is armed with a victory over Bahrain on March 25, 2025. This makes Jay Idzes and his friends more confident in looking at the remaining two matches.

The Indonesian national team is currently ranked fourth in Group C standings for the 2026 World Cup Qualification with nine points. Meanwhile, China occupies a caretaker position with six points.
