tvOnenews.com – The heated match and hot drama in the Indonesia vs Bahrain match in the third round of the 2026 World Cup Qualifications in the Asian Zone succeeded in causing controversy.
The match which was held at the Bahrain National Stadium, Riffa, Thursday (10/10/2024) even attracted the attention of the world and became a topic of conversation among football fans in neighboring countries, including Japan and South Korea.
Japan and South Korea themselves are both at the top of the standings. The difference is that Sakura Country is in Group C with Indonesia, while Ginseng Country is in Group B with a number of Middle Eastern countries, such as Iraq, Jordan, Oman, Kuwait and Palestine.
Japan already met Bahrain in a match which was held on September 10 2024 at the Bahrain National Stadium. This match was not left behind by the controversy that attracted the spotlight.
At that time, the faces of several Japanese national team players were highlighted using a green laser during the match. Not only that, the home fans also blew whistles which really disrupted the course of the match.
As a result, FIFA imposed a penalty in the form of a fine of 10,000 Swiss Francs or around Rp. 182 million to the Bahrain Football Association (BFA).
