Kevin Diks and Emil Audero Have Arrived, Indonesia National Football Team Grows Stronger Ahead of the FIFA Match Day

The strength of the Indonesia National Team ahead of the June 2026 FIFA Match Day is now fully coming together. Two players competing in elite European competitions, Kevin Diks and Emil Audero, have arrived in Jakarta to join the Garuda squad for their centralized training camp.

The arrival of both players was confirmed via a new video uploaded to the official Indonesia National Team account. Their presence provides a major quality boost for John Herdman's side, who are currently preparing for upcoming fixtures against Oman and Mozambique.

"June Training Camp," read the Indonesia national team's Instagram post on Sunday, 31 May 2026.

Kevin Diks and Emil Audero are included in the preliminary 44-man squad called up for this FIFA Match Day window. However, head coach John Herdman has not yet announced the final roster that will fielded for these two international matches.

Kevin Diks joins the training camp on the back of an impressive run of form with Borussia Mönchengladbach in the German Bundesliga. The versatile defender enjoyed a successful debut season at the club, registering five goals across 30 appearances throughout the campaign.

His contributions helped the Bundesliga side finish the season in 12th position on the league table, ending the campaign with 38 total points.

Meanwhile, Emil Audero established himself as one of Cremonese's most consistent performers throughout the 2025/2026 Italian Serie A season. The 29-year-old goalkeeper missed only four league matches, recording 11 clean sheets from a total of 38 fixtures.

Despite delivering solid performances between the posts, Audero was unable to prevent Cremonese from relegation after the club failed to retain their top-flight Serie A status.

Alongside Kevin and Emil, several other Diaspora Players have also arrived in Jakarta. These include Ragnar Oratmangoen who plays for Belgian club Dender, as well as Oxford United striker Ole Romeny.

A number of players competing in the domestic league have also already joined the training camp. This includes Ivar Jenner from Dewa United Banten FC, Rizky Ridho of Persija Jakarta, and Beckham Putra who has put in outstanding performances for Persib Bandung.

A notable warm moment appeared at the end of the video, where Rizky Ridho and Beckham Putra were seen embracing as a symbol of unity within the Garuda squad.

"Hello Garuda fans, we are back".

The Indonesia National Team is scheduled to play two FIFA Match Day fixtures at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium, Jakarta. Garuda will first face Oman on 5 June, before taking on Mozambique on 9 June 2026.

Both matches represent a critical opportunity for John Herdman to assess the team's strength, while also finalising preparations ahead of the squad's next competitive fixtures.
