Analisis Framing Pemberitaan Proses Naturalisasi Pemain Timnas Senior Sepak Bola Indonesia Pada Kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2026 Round 3 di Media Online Detik.Com

Abstract

This study aims to explore how the online media Detik.com frames the news coverage related to the naturalization process of players for the Indonesian national football team during the 2026 World Cup Qualification Round 3. The research employs a qualitative approach using Robert N. Entman’s framing analysis model, which consists of four elements: define problems, diagnose causes, make moral judgement, and treatment recommendations. The researcher analyzed 26 news articles published in the detikSport section under the Football channel during the period of September to November 2024. The findings show that Detik.com tends to frame the issue of naturalization positively, portraying it as part of a strategic effort to strengthen and improve the performance of the national team. However, the media also provides space for criticism and balanced perspectives, particularly in reporting administrative challenges and statements from coaches and football officials. Through the repetition of key themes, selected quotations from authoritative figures, and the use of national symbols, the media contributes to shaping public perception of naturalization as a legitimate, professional, and hopeful move for Indonesian football.
