Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Performa Stefano Lilipaly with Borneo FC in Liga 1 2023/2024 is getting more and more exciting and has the potential to give rise to heated debate ahead Indonesian National team versus Vietnam.
The Indonesian national team will clash with Vietnam in the 2026 World Cup Qualification. This duel will take place in Jakarta on March 21 and then in Hanoi on March 26.
The problem is, Lilipaly is not included in Shin Tae Yong’s game scheme. Even though he excelled in the competition, the 34 year old player’s name was not called.

Lilipaly was not included in the 2023 Asian Cup squad. The last time this Maluku-blooded player defended Indonesia was in a trial match against Turkmenistan on September 8 2023.
However, for the match against Vietnam the situation could be different. This is because Lilipaly really burns. In the last three matches his actions were stunning.
Lilipaly scored two goals in the last two matches, namely on 22 and 26 February. From the same match he contributed three assists to his teammates.
Before the 2026 World Cup Qualification match against Vietnam, there are three more weeks of League 1 matches. These three matches can be a benchmark.
If Lilipaly gets better, both in terms of goals and assists, it will put pressure on Shin. What this means is that not calling Lilipaly is the same as opening the veil on a heated debate.
Moreover, the opponents that Borneo FC will face are Persita Tangerang (2/3), Persebaya Surabaya (7/3), and PSS Sleman (14/3). There is potential for Lilipaly to play well in these three matches.
Regarding the call-up for the Indonesian National Team players against Vietnam, the PSSI National Team Agency (BTN) will not release it in the near future. The situation in the competition is a consideration.
On Wednesday (28/2), Shin and the Indonesian National Team coaching staff also held an internal meeting. It’s just that it’s not yet known what the results of the meeting were.
