The Indonesian men’s national volleyball team has become the first to unveil its squad for the highly anticipated SEA Games 2025 in Thailand. This formidable team of 14 players is meticulously prepared to embark on a historic mission: to secure their fourth consecutive gold medal.
In contrast, the Indonesian women’s national volleyball team has yet to announce its main roster, as their intensive training camp in North Sumatra is still underway.
A significant talking point surrounding the men’s team is the absence of two of their key star spikers, Farhan Halim and Doni Haryono. Doni Haryono is reportedly still recovering from an injury, while Farhan Halim was apparently not granted permission by his club, VC Nagano Tridents.
Farhan Halim has been a pivotal force for the Indonesian national team, instrumental in their gold medal triumphs at the SEA Games 2021 in Vietnam and the SEA Games 2023 in Cambodia. The talented player from West Java also played a crucial role in Indonesia’s victory in the second leg of the SEA V League 2025.
In their stead, head coach Jeff Jiang Jie has strategically selected Jordan Michael Susanto and Agil Angga Anggara to fill the vital outside hitter positions.

Rounding out the outside hitter lineup are Boy Arnez Arabi and Fahri Septian Putratama, adding depth to the squad.
Despite these notable absences, Vietnamese media outlet TheThao maintains that Indonesia remains a strong favorite, citing the team’s abundant attacking options. They specifically highlighted Rivan Nurmulki and Agil Angga Anggara as Indonesia’s potential spearheads for the SEA Games 2025.
The synergy between Rivan and Agil is well-established, as they previously played together as a formidable duo for Surabaya BIN Samator in Proliga 2023. Furthermore, both Rivan and Agil recently showcased their skills at the Vietnam National Championship.
“It is worth noting that two key spikers, Rivan Nurmulki and Agil Angga Anggara, have just completed their competitive stint in the Vietnam National Championship 2025,” TheThao reported. “While Rivan played for The Cong Tan Cang, Agil was part of the Da Nang squad, thereby helping both Vietnamese teams gain more international experience ahead of the SEA Games season.”
TheThao further asserted that the Indonesian men’s volleyball team unequivocally holds the top spot in Southeast Asia. “The Indonesian men’s volleyball team is the number one power in Southeast Asia, dominating the SEA Games arena for three consecutive editions,” they stated. “At the 31st SEA Games in Vietnam (2022), Indonesia defeated host Vietnam in the final and clinched the championship title, solidifying its strong position.”
Indonesia has been drawn into Group B, where they will face the Philippines, Cambodia, and Myanmar. The team’s quest to defend its gold medal is set to unfold from December 13-19, 2025, at the Indoor Huamark Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
