From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of Indonesia international footballers who were born outside Indonesia. Players born in other countries may qualify for the Indonesia national team through parents or grandparents, or through 5-years residency and subsequent naturalization as Indonesian citizens.[1]

Naturalized citizens of Indonesia[edit]

The following players were naturalized via the formal process (either through residency or through descent) and went on to play for the Indonesia senior national team[2] – Indonesian nationality law does not permit dual citizenship, so all the listed players had to give up their other nationalities.
