Indonesia's victory in the inaugural FIFA ASEAN Cup 2026 earned the national team US$650,000, equivalent to Rp11.63 billion, PSSI executive committee member Achmad Riyadh confirmed. Indonesia defeated Thailand 4-2 in a penalty shootout in the final on 5 October.

Riyadh gave the prize figure in a message to CNN Indonesia on 6 October. The championship award is separate from participation payments, bonuses for victories and money associated with hosting the tournament.

Indonesia hosted matches in Jakarta and Bandung. Two wins and a draw from three group fixtures put the team top of Group A and into the final. The title match finished 2-2 before being decided on penalties.

Thailand received US$495,000, equivalent to Rp8.87 billion, according to Thai outlet Siam Sport. That amount included US$125,000, or Rp2.24 billion, for participation and US$120,000, or Rp2.15 billion, in bonuses for two group-stage wins.

The largest component of Thailand's payment was the runner-up award of US$250,000, equivalent to about Rp4.47 billion.
