Eric Tohir, president of the Indonesian Football Association, directly announced that coach Shin Tae-yong has agreed to stay with his country until 2027.
On the 25th, Chairman Thohir posted a photo of himself shaking hands with Coach Shin with a Korean restaurant in the background on social media (SNS) and wrote, “We discussed the national team program until 2027 and decided to work together.”

CNN Indonesia said, “Chairman Thohir confirmed that he has extended the contract with coach Shin Tae-yong.”
After advancing to the round of 16 of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U-23 Asian Cup, Chairman Thohir was asked whether the contract would be renewed.
“I received a lot,” the report said.
At the same time, he evaluated that Director Shin’s contract extension was confirmed at the ‘appropriate time.’
It is analyzed that President Thohir took appropriate measures to boost the morale of Coach Shin and the entire team with the day before the match against Korea.
Korea, led by coach Hwang Seon-hong, and Indonesia, led by Coach Shin Tae-yong, will play the AFC U-23 Asian Cup quarterfinals at the Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium in Doha, Qatar, at 2:30 a.m. on the 26th.
The team that loses this match will fail to secure a spot at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
From Indonesia’s perspective, if they win the game against Korea, the possibility of rewriting their country’s soccer history increases significantly.
If you reach the semifinals, you can dream of the Olympics in earnest.
The last time Indonesian men’s soccer competed in the Olympic finals was 68 years ago.
If the team succeeds in advancing to the Olympics for the first time since the 1956 Melbourne Games, it will be a monumental event that will be recorded in Indonesian soccer history.
Coach Shin has been in charge of both the Indonesian national team and the age group team since 2019.
