The atmosphere at Indonesia Arena in Jakarta on Saturday night, November 1, 2025, truly exploded. A total of 15,337 spectators packed the magnificent arena to witness the international futsal match between the Indonesian national team and Australia. That figure officially became the record for the largest attendance in Southeast Asian futsal history, a monumental achievement demonstrating the immense love the Indonesian public has for futsal.

From the start of the match, the atmosphere already felt like a world championship final. Chants echoed, red and white flags waved, and every player's move was greeted with roaring cheers from the stands. This extraordinary support ignited the spirit of the Garuda players, who performed with full confidence.

The result? Indonesia successfully defeated Australia with a 3-1 scoreline in the match, which was also part of the FIFA Match Day agenda.

This victory wasn't just about the result on the court, but also about the new history etched. Games of Society CEO, Novel Leonardo, couldn't hide his pride over the success of organizing this spectacular match.

"We are grateful that there was so much help from all stakeholders. First, the supporters who wanted to make history together. Second, the support from sponsors, the government, and the media. I didn't expect everything could be this good," said Novel on Sunday, November 2, 2025.

Novel called this achievement a symbol of major change in the world of Indonesian futsal. He sees this match as a leap towards a future for Indonesian futsal that is more professional, classy, and entertaining.

"We want to elevate the level of Indonesian futsal. The focus isn't on the 15,000 spectators, but on how we commit to packaging the experience to be as comfortable as possible for spectators watching the futsal match," he continued.

For Novel and his team, the essence of this match wasn't just about setting a record, but about creating a new experience for spectators, whether those attending the arena directly or those watching via screens.

"Then we also want the live streaming broadcast to reach a wide audience of viewers at home. But honestly, I'm proud of the 15,000 spectators," he added.
