The Indonesian national team, which recorded a historic achievement in the 2026 World Cup qualifying round, was honored by the head of state with a special recognition. Specifically, after the important victory of 1:0 against China, the country's president Prabowo Subianto gifted luxury Rolex GMT-Master II watches to all team members.
According to reports from Indonesian media, each watch has a market price of approximately 193 million rupiah, which is around 150 million soums, equivalent to several times the average monthly salary in the country.
Through this gift, the president expressed gratitude to the players for their dedication and for promoting their homeland on an international level. Such confidence and encouragement are expected to have a positive impact on the development of football in the country.
Currently, the Indonesian national team is in fourth place in Group C of the third round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Nevertheless, the team has already secured a spot in the next stage.
It is worth noting that Indonesia is recognized as one of the countries that has made significant investments and attention to the development of national football in recent years. Such recognition and encouragement at the state level will undoubtedly provide a great boost to the players' motivation.
