Hidden Indonesian Gem: Will Jordy Wehrmann Ever Play for the Garuda Squad?
Jordy Wehrmann, the talented Indonesian-Dutch midfielder for Madura United, is once again sparking conversation among football fans. His impressive skills on the field have led some to wonder if he could be a potential asset for the Indonesian national team, the Garuda squad.
Known for his extraordinary playing vision and impressive dribbling skills, Wehrmann earned the nickname “wonderkid” during his years in the Dutch junior academy system. While his career initially faltered when he transitioned to the senior phase, his recent performance with Madura United has re-ignited attention.
A Previous Bid for Naturalization
It’s no secret that Indonesia has been actively looking to strengthen its national team through naturalization of talented foreign-born players. Back in 2022, Wehrmann was one of several players considered for this process, alongside Sandy Walsh and Jordi Amat. However, a series of unfortunate events led to his removal from the project.
At that time, communication issues arose, and Wehrmann, focused on transferring from FC Luzern (Switzerland) to ADO Den Haag (Netherlands), didn’t respond to the initial offer, resulting in his name being dropped from consideration.
A Renewed Opportunity?
Now, with his standout performance continuing to captivate fans, many wonder if the door is still open for Wehrmann to don the Indonesian jersey. In an exclusive interview, he expressed his ongoing desire to represent Indonesia. ” Yes, I was contacted by PSSI in August 2024 regarding potentially joining the national team. They asked for my views on strengthening the Garuda squad, and I made it clear that I’m ready,” recounted Wehrmann.
“I told them they could reach out whenever they need me,” he added, but there has been no follow-up from the PSSI since.|
Searches for other news and articles about Jordy Wehrmann reveal that the 25-year-old midfielder continues to be one of the main driving forces behind Madura United’s recent success. With his exceptional vision, he often carries the weight of the team’s pace and attack, evoking memories of the “wonderkid” he once was.
The Question Remains
Will the dream of seeing Jordy Wehrmann on the international stage ever become a reality? Only time will tell if the PSSI will rediscover this potential national team asset. For now, Wehrmann continues to shine for Madura United, hoping that one day his hard work will lead him to represent Indonesia, a country he has always dreamt of settling in.

**Host:** Joining us today is football analyst Reza Maulana to discuss Jordy Wehrmann and his potential future with the Garuda squad. Reza, welcome to the show!
**Reza:** Thanks for having me!
**Host:** Let’s talk about Jordy Wehrmann. He’s been making a name for himself with Madura United. What are your thoughts on his talent and his potential?
**Reza:** Wehrmann is undoubtedly a very talented midfielder. His vision and dribbling skills are exceptional, and he’s shown glimpses of brilliance in Liga 1. It’s no surprise he was dubbed a “wonderkid” in his younger days.
**Host:** There were reports back in 2022 that Wehrmann was in talks with the PSSI about representing Indonesia. Anything new on that front?
**Reza:** Well, according to theViva.co.id article, Wehrmann did confirm that he was contacted by the PSSI early in the season [[1](https://jabar.viva.co.id/sepakbola/32887-satu-lagi-pemain-keturunan-siap-bela-timnas-indonesia-sudah-dihubungi-pssi)]. He expressed his willingness to play for Indonesia, but since then, there haven’t been any further updates. It’s unclear if those discussions are still ongoing.
**Host:** It seems like a missed opportunity for the Garuda squad.
**Reza:** Absolutely. We’ve seen the impact that naturalized players have had on the national team in recent years. Wehrmann could be a valuable asset, especially given the lack of creative midfielders in Indonesia.
**Host:** So, do you think this door is still open for Wehrmann?
**Reza:** It’s definitely possible. The PSSI has been quite proactive in seeking out talented players with Indonesian heritage. If Wehrmann continues to impress with Madura United, I wouldn’t rule out another attempt to bring him into the fold.
**Host:** Well, hopefully, we see Jordy Wehrmann in a Garuda jersey someday. Thank you so much for your insights, Reza.
**Reza:** My pleasure.
