Maarten Paes, goalkeeper of FC Dallas in the Major League Soccer(MLS) has officially become an Indonesian citizen at the Regional Office (Kanwil) of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkumham) DKI Jakarta, East Jakarta, Today.
Thus, Maarten has a great opportunity to strengthen Indonesia in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Asian Qualifiers Round 2 against Iraq on June 6 and the Philippines at home on June 12.
However, approximately one month before the final two qualifying matches for the 2026 World Cup, Maarten must fulfil several conditions in order to appear for the Red and White, one of which is waiting for the results of the trial at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) because Maarten had previously defended the Dutch U-21 national team in 2021 U-21 European Cup when he was 22 years old.
