Nathan Tjoe-A-Oen Takes Oath to Become Indonesian Citizen: Boost for National Team

The Indonesian national team’s initiative to naturalize players for bolstering their roster sees Nathan Tjoe-A-Oen stepping up to become a citizen of the country. Nathan’s addition is part of the 28-player squad gearing up to confront Vietnam in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers in Asia, under the tutelage of coach Shin Tae-yong.

Scheduled for a clash at Jakarta’s Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium on Thursday, the Garuda Team plans to showcase their skills before heading to Hanoi for a face-off five days after the initial match.

As the team gears up for its upcoming challenge against Vietnam, the shuffle in the squad signals a transformation under Shin Tae-yong’s leadership. An air of anticipation surrounds the Garuda Team’s evolving dynamics, with a mix of established talent and newfound additions seeking to make an impact on the field.
