The Indonesia national football team represents Indonesia in international football; it is controlled by the Football Association of Indonesia. Despite the nation's size and population, Indonesia is not among the strongest teams in the AFC. However, they are one of the few teams in Southeast Asia who are able to challenge Thailand.

[edit] History
Indonesia, under the name Dutch East Indies, was the first Asian team to participate in the FIFA World Cup when they qualified in 1938. But a 6-0 loss in Reims to eventual finalists Hungary remains the country's only World Cup match. In 1958, the team tasted their first World Cup action as Indonesia in the qualifying rounds. They got past China in the first round, but subsequently refused to play their next opponents Israel.
Indonesia suffered a long hiatus from FIFA World Cup since 1958 due to an unfavourable political situation - both internally and externally. It was only in 1974 that Indonesia returned to the fold.
Indonesia's first appearance in the AFC Asian Cup was in the United Arab Emirates in 1996, Indonesia only gained one point from a draw against Kuwait in the first round. Their second appearance in Asian Cup was in Lebanon in 2000; again, Indonesia gained only one point from three games. Indonesia performed better in the 2004 Asian Cup, beating Qatar 2-1 to record their first ever victory in the Asian Cup; unfortunately this was not enough to qualify for the second round.
Indonesia has yet to win the regional Tiger Cup, despite reaching the final in three tournaments (2000, 2002, and 2004). Their only continental titles came in the 1987 and 1991 South East Asian Games. A group win in the 2004 Asian Cup tournament, their first ever in that competition, may signal a rise in the side's stature on the Asian football scene. Under the guidance of former Aston Villa and England striker Peter Withe, the South-East Asian outfit looked set to continue their success in terms of football development and in the FIFA World Rankings. However on January 18, 2007, Withe was sacked due to their first round exit of the ASEAN Football Championship. Recently Ivan Kolev was appointed as the new head coach with a two years contract.
