August 7, 2026 | 06:30 am

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Indonesia will face Singapore at Jalan Besar Stadium on Friday, August 7, in the final Group A match of the 2026 AFF Cup, with a place in the semifinals at stake.

Ahead of the decisive clash, Singapore hold the edge in the teams' AFF Cup head-to-head record, while Indonesia lead the overall series across all competitions.

Singapore Lead AFF Cup Meetings

The two sides have met 11 times in the AFF Cup. According to football statistics website 11v11, Indonesia have won three matches, Singapore have claimed five victories, and the remaining three ended in draws.

Their first AFF Cup meeting came in the 1998 tournament, when Singapore defeated Indonesia 2-1 before going on to lift the title.

Indonesia's first AFF Cup victory over the Lions came in the 2012 edition, when Andik Vermansyah scored the only goal in a 1-0 win. Singapore, however, also emerged as champions that year.

The result marked the beginning of a stronger run for Indonesia against Singapore in the competition. In the next four AFF Cup meetings, the Garuda won two matches, drew one, and lost one.

Indonesia's most recent victory came in the second leg of the 2020 AFF Cup semifinal, when they defeated Singapore 4-2 to secure a place in the final.

Indonesia Hold Overall Advantage

Across all competitions, Indonesia have the better overall record. Since their first meeting at the Merdeka Tournament on Aug. 31, 1958, the two teams have faced each other 59 times.

Indonesia have won 30 of those matches, while Singapore have recorded 19 victories. The remaining 10 games ended in draws.

Singapore enter Friday's match in the stronger position. They are second in Group A with seven points and need only a draw to advance to the semifinals.

Indonesia, meanwhile, are third with six points after losing to Vietnam in their previous match and must beat Singapore to reach the knockout stage.
