Will Indonesia play a team that just qualified for the 2026 World Cup in preparation for the 2027 AFC Asian Cup, while Vietnam’s fixture schedule is yet to be finalised?

Asian Cup 2027: Goal for the four teams representing Southeast Asia.

Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore and Vietnam are the four countries representing Southeast Asia participating in the 2027 AFC Asian Cup, which will be held in Saudi Arabia from 7 January to 5 February 2027.

As for Singapore’s national team, it has completed a two-match schedule in November to qualify for the 2026 World Cup from South America: the first against Paraguay on November 13 and the second is the upcoming match against Brazil under veteran coach Carlo Ancelotti on November 17, both at the Kalinga National Stadium. The two matches are part of Singapore’s preparations for the 2027 Asian Cup.

Recently, it was reported that the Indonesian national team has also planned practice matches and has selected an opponent that will also take part in the 2026 World Cup, Jordan, against whom they will compete at the FIFA Days in November.

according to My website “Nashma News” and Shams sport The Jordan Football Association is in talks with several other federations to organize friendly matches in preparation for the 2027 Asian Cup. Among the options presented is a match against Indonesia and Australia, which is expected to take place in November.

The news coincides with speculation in the Indonesian press that the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) is also in talks with the Japan Football Association to arrange a friendly match between the Indonesian national team and Jordan, who will participate in the World Cup for the first time in its history this summer in the United States, Mexico and Canada. In addition, the Indonesian Football Association is looking for another World Cup team to compete with.

While the national teams of Singapore and Indonesia are already proceeding with their training plans in preparation for the 2027 AFC Asian Cup, the national teams of Vietnam and Thailand have yet to finalize their schedules.

The immediate goal for Vietnam’s national team is to win the AFC Cup again (on FIFA days in late September and early October). In addition, the schedule of November’s FIFA days has not been announced yet. Similarly, the Thai national team has not made an announcement regarding its training plans for the same period.

In Southeast Asia, four teams will participate in the 2027 AFC Asian Cup: Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore and Vietnam. Singapore are in Group D, along with Australia, Tajikistan and Iraq. As for Vietnam, it is in Group Five (E) with South Korea, United Arab Emirates and Yemen. Thailand and Indonesia are in Group Six (F) along with Japan and Qatar.
