There is an air of eagerness in Jakarta as the Indonesia national
team prepare to take on German side Borussia Dortmund at the
Stadium Utama Gelora Bung Karno tomorrow.
And following previous uncertainty on the inclusion of several star
players, the likes of captain Ponaryo Astaman, Ellie Aiboy and
Ortizan Salossa had already made their presence felt in the
training squad against what will be a strong Borussia side.
It is an honour to be called to the national team, said Suwita
Patha, who at 33-year-old is making his first ever appearance in
the Indonesia national team.
Whats more we will be playing against a club which does not only
have a strong domestic reputation in Germany but also an
international one.
In the meantime, the Indonesia FA (PSSI) are looking at
distributing over 40,000 tickets for the one-off game in the
Indonesian capital.
The match will also be shown live on Indonesian television.
