Los Angeles FC striker Adrian Wibowo is set to make his debut for the Indonesia national team after head coach Patrick Kluivert included the 19-year-old in his squad for friendlies against Chinese Taipei and Lebanon in Surabaya on September 5 and 8.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Adrian, who previously represented the United States at U-17 level, qualifies for Indonesia through his father, a Surabaya-born Indonesian citizen. Crucially, his father\u2019s retained citizenship spares Adrian from the lengthy naturalization process that many of Indonesia\u2019s diaspora players must undergo.<\/p>\n

The teenager\u2019s call-up was first revealed on September 3 through LAFC\u2019s official social media channels, which listed their players heading out on international duty. Among them were South Korea captain Son Heung-min, Gabon striker Denis Bouanga, and El Salvador forward Nathan Ordaz.<\/p>\n

Adrian\u2019s inclusion makes him the second Indonesian player currently plying his trade in Major League Soccer, following FC Dallas goalkeeper Maarten Paes, who is sidelined with injury.<\/p>\n

After a long flight from Los Angeles, Adrian arrived in Surabaya on September 5 and was personally welcomed at the team hotel by Kluivert.<\/p>\n

\u201cWow, finally,\u201d Adrian said in a video posted by the national team\u2019s official Instagram account.
\u201cYes, we finally meet,\u201d Kluivert replied, embracing his new forward.<\/p>\n

However, administrative hurdles mean Adrian will have to wait for his debut. His Indonesian passport had expired during his years in the United States, ruling him out of the September 5 clash against Chinese Taipei. If his documents are processed in time, his first appearance could come on September 8 at Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium against Lebanon.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, two other fresh faces \u2014 FC Volendam striker Mauro Zijlstra and FC Utrecht attacker Miliano Jonathans \u2014 could make their Timnas Garuda<\/em> debuts against Chinese Taipei.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
