Next, the Complete Schedule of the 2024 Asia Cup enters the final phase of group stage matches. Matchday 3 of the group stage is scheduled to take place on Monday to Thursday, January 22-25. In the last group stage matches, the Indonesian national team will face a challenge from Japan. The schedule for the 2024 Asia Cup match and live broadcast between Indonesia and Japan is set for Wednesday, January 24, 2024.
After completing the group stage matches, the Asia Cup will move on to the knockout stage, the Round of 16, scheduled to take place from Sunday to Wednesday, January 28-31. In this phase, 12 teams will continue their journey, the top 1-2 teams from Groups A-F. Furthermore, the remaining 4 slots will be given to the best 3rd-placed teams.
The runner-up of the 2019 Asia Cup, which was ranked 17th in the world at the time, notably being the best among AFC teams. Iraq, the 2nd seed in Group D, previously won the Asia Cup in 2007 in Indonesia and currently ranks 63rd in the world. This ranking is the highest among teams in Pot 2. The Garuda team experienced the strength of Iraq, losing 5-1 in the AFC Zone qualification for the 2026 World Cup in November 2023.
The next opponent for the Indonesian national team is Vietnam, currently ranked 94th in the world. Although Vietnam is considered a team that Indonesia could possibly defeat, it should not be underestimated. The Vietnamese national team is currently coached by Philippe Troussier, the only active coach who has won the Asia Cup, leading Japan to the title in 2000. In the last edition of the 2019 Asia Cup, Vietnam performed impressively, reaching the quarterfinals before being defeated by Japan. This achievement has not yet been matched by Indonesia. A realistic path for Indonesia is expected to at least reach the 3rd place in Group D and accumulate better points than the 2 3rd-placed teams in other groups.
If this scenario unfolds, the Garuda team has the opportunity to face the champions of Group A or B. Group A is inhabited by defending champion Qatar, Lebanon, Tajikistan, and China. Meanwhile, Group B is filled with Australia, India, Syria, and Uzbekistan. The winner of Group D will face the best 3rd-placed team from Group B, E, or F, while the runner-up of Group D will face the winner of Group E.
After completing the group stage, the Complete Schedule of the 2024 Asia Cup continues with the Round of 16, starting on January 28, 2024, until January 31, 2024.

The tournament concludes with the final scheduled for February 10, 2024.
