PSSI Cautions Indonesian Fans on Tickets for World Cup Qualifier vs.Saudi Arabia
What Happened
PSSI (the Football Association of Indonesia) has issued a warning to indonesian national team supporters regarding the purchase of tickets for the upcoming fourth round of the 2026 Asian Zone World cup qualifier against Saudi Arabia.
The match is scheduled to be held at King Abdullah Stadium in jeddah on September 10, 2025.
Ticket Allocation and Availability
PSSI has received a limited ticket allocation of approximately eight percent of the King abdullah Stadium’s 50,000-seat capacity. This translates to only 4,000 tickets available for Indonesian supporters.
Arya Sinulingga, a member of the PSSI Exco, confirmed this limited allocation.
| Stadium Capacity | Indonesian Supporter Allocation |
|---|---|
| 50,000 | 4,000 (8%) |
Risks of Purchasing Tickets Intended for Saudi Arabian Supporters
While PSSI is not prohibiting Indonesian fans from purchasing tickets directly in Saudi Arabia, they strongly advise caution.The available tickets are primarily intended for supporters of the home team.
Arya Sinulingga warned that Indonesian supporters wearing red clothing may be relocated to the designated Indonesian supporter section, possibly leading to overcrowding if the section is already full.
The validity of seat numbers on tickets purchased for Saudi Arabian supporters may be compromised when attempting to access the Indonesian supporter section.
What This Means for Indonesian Supporters
The limited ticket availability presents a notable challenge for indonesian fans wishing to attend the match in person. Purchasing tickets through unofficial channels or those intended for Saudi Arabian supporters carries the risk of being denied entry or being relocated to less desirable seating.
Key Considerations:
- Limited Availability: Only 4,000 tickets are allocated for Indonesian fans.
- Potential Relocation: Supporters wearing red may be moved to the Indonesian section.
- Seat Validity: Seat numbers on tickets intended for Saudi supporters may not be valid in the Indonesian section.
