Volleyball News – The Indonesian Men’s National Volleyball Team is ready to face a big challenge at the 2026 AVC Men’s Volleyball Cup which will take place in Ahmedabad, India. After being inaugurated on Saturday (20/6/2026), the Indonesian squad is preparing to open its work in the inaugural match which will take place on Sunday (21/6/2026) evening against the tough South Korean team.
This Asian volleyball stage will be a tough test for Reidel Toiran’s squad. Even though our national team is currently ranked 52nd with 78.41 points in the FIVB Men’s Volleyball World Ranking, their opponents this time, South Korea, are far superior at 27th with 137.28 points. Facing this tough enemy, Indonesia is also scheduled to fight against Qatar, which is ranked higher at 22nd with 164.99 points.
Not only that, the Garuda team will also compete against Thailand and Oman, who occupy 61st and 82nd positions in the world respectively. These two countries are below Indonesia in the global ranking order, with points of 63.92 and 43.95 respectively.
The Indonesian national team won a place in Pool B along with Qatar, South Korea, Thailand and Oman. In contrast to Pool A, which was attended by six countries, Pool B presented competition between five teams after Pakistan withdrew, which was then followed by Turkmenistan, which also canceled its appearance.
The Indonesian squad in this tournament is strengthened by 14 mainstay players, namely Muhammad Reyhan, Raihan Rizky Attorif, Ramma Faza Fauzan, Dawuda Alaihimasallam, Raden Gumilar, Putra Bagus Hidayatullah, Hendra Kurniawan, Tedi Oka, Boy Arnez Arabi, Farhan Halim, Doni Hariono, Fauzan Nibras, Alfin Daniel Pratama, and Jasen Natanael Kilanta. They will be guided by caretaker coach, Reidel Toiran, who replaces Sergio Veloso who is currently in the process of administering a work visa.
The following is the complete schedule for the Indonesian Volleyball National Team’s matches at this prestigious event:
- Sunday, June 21, 2026: Indonesia vs South Korea, 19.30 WIB
- Monday, June 22 2026: Indonesia vs Qatar, 19.30 WIB
- Tuesday, June 23, 2026: Indonesia vs Thailand, 19.30 WIB
