What is Wrong Indonesia?

Indonesia with almost 273 million citizens should easily find a great footballer and can create a great team with talented players.

Don't get me wrong, we have great team recently, but we should be able to do better if we see from a large number of Indonesian citizens.

Moreover most Indonesian are football fans. It is the biggest sport here in Indonesia like a lot of other nations, take for example how Brazil seems to have an endless production of great football players.

It is even harder for Indonesia to compete regionally, and not even manage to go through the world cup. We even struggled really hard to be able to lift the AFF Cup for the ASEAN Nations.

We are sitting in the 164 in the latest FIFA Rank, which is a great leap because we were sitting in 166 prior to the AFF cup. Thanks to the recent wins in AFF Cup which make them possible.

But look at Singapore, they are at 160, a better rank than ours. Do you want to know the citizens of that island nation? Better not, as we really should have been at a better rank.

Well, that's the entire population. Half of those are above the age. Only around 15% of those are at the game where their football career starts. More than of them are females, so 7% at best qualify as male in the right age. If any of those people are interested in a sport it would be Badminton more than football.

Consider the quality of facilities, development programs, managers, league competitivity, and youth sports center and it is not 256 million, more like 1 million, barely. No country in the world won titles thanks to its population.

that is a valid point from you. But those in the population rank, have a lot better rank than Indonesia.

7% of those 256 millions population is still a large number. Eventough we have much better players in Badminton (and rank), but Football still is the main sport of choice for Indonesia.

I was looking only at the number of populations only, but in the next post, I would discuss more of why we can't really thrive eventough we have large populations.
