The squad are comes from NIVU (Nederlandsche
Indische Voetbal Unie), instead of the PSSI (The Football Association of Indonesia). Because FIFA
recognizes NIVU more
than PSSI.

The team departed by “MS Johan van Oldenbarnevelt”
ship. They leave the Tanjung Priok Harbor on April 27 1938, and arrived at Genoa, Italy, a month later. Then go to the Netherlands by train.
Stay for about a month at Duinoord,
in the Wassenaar City, Dutch East Indies team held a friendly match against
Den Haag club (final score 2-2) and Haarlem (5-3).
In early June, the group departed to France, four days before they game against the strong team Hungary.

The
result, as recorded in history, Dutch East Indies have lost 6-0 by Hungary. Once match and lost, because it was knockout stage. That is, the team had
to go home early.
Even so, it still FIFA noting Indonesia was the first
country to qualify for the world cup. Might be a pride in itself for the
Indonesian people.
Hope to one day Indonesian national team be able to
participate again in the event.
