Indonesia’s Ole Romeny Named Among Asia’s Top 12 Stars in 2026 World Cup Qualifiers
Ole Romeny, a rising star in the Indonesian national team, has been recognized as one of Asia’s 12 favorite players in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. His name appears alongside elite Asian footballers such as Son Heung Min, Mehdi Taremi, and Takefusa Kubo, showing just how quickly he has earned continental recognition since debuting earlier this year.
According to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), Romeny made a major impact during the qualifiers, scoring crucial goals that helped Indonesia advance to the fourth round. His three goals were instrumental in securing wins over China and Bahrain, which proved vital in Indonesia’s climb to fourth place in Group C and ensured their progression in the competition.
The AFC also highlighted how Romeny’s arrival brought a new level of sharpness to Indonesia’s attack, despite this being his first stint on the international stage. His performances have ignited hope among Indonesian fans for a potential debut in the 2026 World Cup. AFC has launched a public vote for fans to select their favorite among the 12 standout players, reflecting the increasing engagement in Asian football.
However, Romeny’s continued participation in the qualifiers is now in doubt due to an injury sustained during the 2025 President’s Cup. Indonesia is set to face tough opponents in the next round, with matches scheduled against Saudi Arabia and Iraq in October. His recovery will be crucial for Indonesia’s campaign as they aim to secure a historic place in the global tournament.
