PSSI Chairman Erick Thohir has announced a thorough evaluation of the Indonesian Women’s National Team coach, Satoru Mochizuki, following the team’s failure to qualify for the 2026 AFC Women’s Asian Cup. Garuda Pertiwi suffered a 1-2 defeat against Taiwan in the final Group D qualifier match held at Indomilk Arena on Saturday (July 5, 2025).

The defeat left Indonesia in third place in the group with only three points, coming from one win and two losses. Although disappointed with the outcome, Erick has not made a final decision regarding the future of the Japanese coach.

“His contract runs until December 2025. We will review it thoroughly,” Erick said.

He also expressed his appreciation for the team's efforts, noting that they had limited preparation time compared to their opponents. Taiwan, he pointed out, had been preparing with their senior team for two years, while Indonesia had only formed a new team a few months prior.

“I think the players performed quite well today, even though we lost. Their performance was much better compared to the match against Pakistan. That deserves recognition,” he added. (Zulrzk)
