Currently, Indonesia has completed 3 matches and is in 5th place in the temporary Group C standings with three points, just one point behind the second to fourth places occupied by Australia, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain, each currently holding four points.
Meanwhile, in 2025, the Indonesian National Team will face four important matches in the competition for the second position in Group C standings. From those four matches, they are divided into two months, namely :
