Indonesia at the FIFA World Cup
In 1958, the team tasted their first World Cup action
as Indonesia in the qualifying rounds. They got past Chi-
na in the first round, but subsequently refused to play
their next opponents Israel. The team suffered a long
hiatus from FIFA World Cup since 1958 due to an un-
favourable political situation - both internally and exter-
nally. It was only in 1974 that Indonesia returned to the
fold.

The Indonesian national football team has only par-
ticipated once in the FIFA World Cup, which is the 1938
World Cup in France, under the name Dutch East Indies.
Although they are now independent from the Nether-
lands and has changed their name to Indonesia, FIFA con-
siders them as the successor team of Dutch East Indies.
The Indies played Hungary in their first game ever, losing
6-0. The straight knockout format used at the time made
it the only game ever played by the Indonesians. Thus,
Indonesia holds the FIFA World Cup record as the only
team with the fewest matches played (1) and one of the
teams with the fewest goals scored (0).
