Indonesia host Palestine at the Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium in Surabaya on Wednesday (June 14) in an international friendly.
It's the first of two games this month, with world champions Argentina up next on June 19 in the Indonesian capital of Jakarta. Manager Shin Tae-yong has called up 25 players for this month's double-header, nine of whom play their club football abroad.
Reza Arya, Shayne Pattynama, Ivar Jenner and Rafael Struick are the only uncapped players in the squad and will look to make their international debuts this month.
Palestine, meanwhile, have been on a roll since last year, winning their last four games. That includes a 2-1 win over Bahrain earlier this year to start 2023 on a positive note.
Manager Makram Daboub has summoned 23 players for this month's double-header against Indonesia and China, nine of whom are based abroad. Shabab Al-Khalil striker Tamer Seyam has scored 12 goals in 52 games for the Lions of Canaan. He needs two more to become the joint top scorer for Palestine.
