Dutch East Indies

The Dutch East Indies team was an official selection of the N.I.V.B.,
F.I.F.A. members for the territory; all players came from Java (as all
regional member federations of the N.I.V.B. were from Java).  Players
were required to have been born in the Dutch East Indies.

Squad list (15 players; names of intended reserves in italics):

GK: De Wolff (U.N.I., Bandoeng), Tjan Hing Kie (Semarang);
DF: Denkelaar (Oliveo, Batavia; captain), Tan Chin Hoat (Tiong Hoa, Soerabaja);
MF: Baumgarten (Soerabaja), Frans Meeng (S.V.B.B., Batavia),
    Amrein (U.N.I., Bandoeng), Asmoeadji (U.N.I., Bandoeng);
FW: Onong (S.V.B.B., Batavia), Tetalepta (S.V.J.A.., Batavia),
    Jahn (Hercules, Batavia), Lontoh (Velocitas, Tjimahi),
    Thio Kek Bo (U.M.S., Batavia), The Hong Djien (Tiong Hoa, Soerabaja),
    Tio Hian Goan (Tiong Hoa, Soerabaja).

Note that the squad included 5 "European", 5 Chinese and 5 "native" players,
which appears to have been a coincidence rather than intentional; five other 
players were part of the provisional squad of 20 players chosen after the 
test match between West Java and East Java in Solo (on 8 Apr 1934, West Java 
won 3-2; there had been a number of other test matches since the end of March
to select the best players) but eventually were not included in the squad
making the trip after further training in Tjimahi: 
  DF: Röhrig (Soerabaja);
  MF: Caumans (Semarang), Nawir (Soerabaja);
  FW: Goyers (U.N.I., Bandoeng), Johannes (Solo).

The line-up against Japan on 13 May 1934, the first ever full international 
of the Dutch East Indies:

  De Wolff; Denkelaar, Chin Hoat; Baumgarten, F. Meeng, Hong Djien;
  Onong, Tetalepta, Hian Goan, Jahn, Kek Bo.

(So Hian Goan was preferred to Lontoh while Hong Djien replaced Amrein in 
 midfield as compared to the original selection.)

The starting line-up against China on 14 May 1934 was identical, but during
the match, F. Meeng was replaced by Amrein during the second half, with the
score 1-0:

  De Wolff; Denkelaar, Chin Hoat; Baumgarten, F. Meeng (Amrein),
  Hong Djien; Onong, Tetalepta, Hian Goan, Jahn, Kek Bo.

Additional Trivia

As a result of their showing, the N.I.V.B. were invited to participate in the 1935 Philippines Championship.

Among the 8 available team gold medals (awarded by sports categories) at the 1934 Games, Japan won 4 (athletics, cycling, swimming and tennis), the Philippines 3 (baseball, basketball and volleyball) and China 1 (football, see above).

1936 Olympics:
Tio Hian Goan (Tio Hiang-guan in [Kni 91]) was part of the 1936 Olympic squad of China, but he did not play in the only match China contested at the Games; Chan Chen-Wo, born in Batavia but playing for Chinese AA in Hongkong, did.

1938 World Cup:
Frans Meeng, Hong Djien and Nawir were part of the Dutch East Indies squad for the 1938 World Cup and all three played against Hungary, Nawir as captain.
