The 22-year-old defender, who featured in all of Indonesia’s group stage games, believes Tim Garuda can upstage the Socceroos.

“Our preparations for Australia have been meticulous and thorough. The team has dedicated significant time and effort to ensure that every aspect of our game is refined ahead of the match,” said Arhan.

“Playing in the Round of 16 means a lot for Indonesia and the players are raring to put in their best effort. We know it will be tough but we will try our best.”

“Under the guidance of head coach Shin Tae-yong, we achieved a significant victory by defeating Vietnam for the first time in seven years. Additionally, the team has showcased consistency by registering a goal in every group game.”

Since their first meeting in 1967, Australia have lost only once to Southeast Asian side - a 1-0 defeat in 1982 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers - and Arhan, who recently signed for K League 1 side Suwon FC, knows that Indonesia have their work cut out for them.

“The coaching staff has worked tirelessly to analyse Australia's strengths and weaknesses, formulating strategies that play to our advantage. 

“We have undergone rigorous training sessions to enhance our skills and fitness levels, leaving no stone unturned in our pursuit of success on the field.”
