Southeast Asian teams are arranging friendlies before the 2027 Asian Cup, Thanh Niên reports. Indonesia has announced plans to meet Jordan and Kuwait in November, while Thailand's King's Cup preparations have changed following Bahrain's withdrawal. These are future schedules, rather than completed results.
Indonesia and Thailand prepare for their group
Indonesia plans to face Jordan on 13 November and Kuwait on 17 November. Thailand is organising the King's Cup during the same FIFA window, with Oman and Tajikistan remaining among the opponents identified after Bahrain withdrew.
Thanh Niên places Indonesia and Thailand in Asian Cup Group F with Japan and Qatar. The report connects the choice of West Asian opposition with preparation for Qatar, without establishing that any friendly replicates the same challenge or guarantees a tournament outcome.
Other regional arrangements remain distinct
Singapore plans national-stadium games against Paraguay on 13 November and Brazil on 17 November in the Mizuho Blue Challenge.
For Vietnam, the source says details were still being finalised for a proposed Japan meeting on 30 December. It also mentions a prospective Qatar fixture on 5 January 2027, against the background of Group E opponents South Korea, Yemen and the UAE.
Taiwan and Kyrgyzstan are additionally identified in November preparations. Further confirmations are needed for arrangements described as prospective. None of these plans should be treated as a match already played or proof that every organisational detail has been completed.
