Marc Klok, Shayne Pattynama, Sandy Walsh, and Thom Haye are set to bring their elite experience to the Garuda squad as they chase regional glory in the upcoming tournament.

Here at Status Pro Sport, we are immensely proud to announce that four of our esteemed athletes: Marc Klok, Shayne Pattynama, Sandy Walsh, and Thom Haye, have officially been selected for the Indonesian National Team’s final squad for the 2026 ASEAN Championship. Their inclusion marks a significant milestone in Indonesia's preparations for the region's most prestigious international football tournament, and it serves as a testament to the unwavering dedication and world-class quality our players exhibit week in and week out.

This call-up is the culmination of an incredibly successful 2025/26 campaign for our athletes, who have all enjoyed remarkable seasons at their respective clubs.

Marc Klok continues to solidify his legacy as one of the most successful leaders in Indonesian football history. As the beating heart of PERSIB Bandung, Klok captained his side to the 2025/26 Indonesia Super League (Liga 1) title. This historic victory marked Persib’s third consecutive league championship, alongside him Thom Haye making his highly anticipated debut season in Indonesian football, "The Professor" instantly elevated the squad's tactical ceiling. Haye’s deep-lying creativity and immediate chemistry with Klok were on full display throughout the campaign. Together, they not only secured the domestic crown but also led the club to a highly respectable Round of 16 finish in the AFC Champions League Two.

On the defensive end, Sandy Walsh enjoyed a phenomenal 2025/26 debut season with Thai powerhouse Buriram United. Walsh proved to be a defensive cornerstone as the club swept the competition to claim both the Thai League 1 title and the Thai FA Cup. Beyond domestic dominance, Walsh also helped Buriram conquer the region by lifting the prestigious 2025/26 ASEAN Club Championship Shopee Cup, defeating Selangor FC 3-1 on aggregate in the final. Meanwhile, Shayne Pattynama made major headlines with his blockbuster move to Indonesian heavyweights PERSIJA Jakarta from Buriram this winter. Adapting instantly to the demands of the Super League, Pattynama provided relentless energy, defensive tenacity, and crucial attacking support on the left flank.
