FC Dallas goalkeeper Maarten Paes has been called up for Indonesia’s men's national team FIFA World Cup Asian qualifier matches against Australia and Bahrain. Indonesia continues its qualification journey on Thursday, March 20, against Australia at 4:10 a.m. CT at Allianz Stadium in Sydney, Australia. Indonesia will then play Bahrain on Tuesday, March 25, at 8:45 a.m. CT at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta, Indonesia.

This will keep Paes out of FC Dallas’ game at Real Salt Lake on Saturday, March 22\. FC Dallas will have to rely on Homegrown keepers Michael Collodi or Antonio Carerra in his absence. 

In 2025, Paes ranks 13th in MLS in saves made. He also leads MLS in opponents' crosses fisted with two.

Paes made his international debut with Indonesia during the September 2024 FIFA window, helping Garuda earn two points in Saudi Arabia and at home against Australia. Paes has six total appearances for Indonesia and registered his first win on Nov. 19, 2024, against Saudi Arabia.
