JAKARTA (5 October 2026) – Indonesia were crowned champions of Division One FIFA ASEAN Cup 2026 after beating Thailand 4-2 in the penalty shootout at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium.
The score at the end of regulation was 2-2, with Thailand having to play the last ten minutes of the game with ten men when defender Nicholas Mickelson was shown his second yellow card.
Dean Ruben James was quick to take advantage to give Indonesia the lead in the 84th minute before Iklas Sanron then drew level for Thailand three minutes later.
In extra time, it was Thailand who went ahead in the 111th minute through Peeradol Chamratsamee as Elkan Baggott then grabbed the all-important equaliser in the 116th minute to force the game into the penalty shootouts.
In the decider, the miss from Sarach Yooyen and then Nattapong Sayriya gave Indonesia the 4-2 victory to be crowned champions of the first-ever FIFA ASEAN Cup 2026.
Meanwhile, Malaysia came in third in the competition after beating Vietnam 1-0 in the classification match earlier.
A turning shot from Fergus Tierney in the 62nd minute was enough to separate the two teams.
