At national level, Firman played for Indonesia in the under-19 and under-23 level, prior to his senior team debut in a 2002 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Cambodia in 2001.[1] After his debut, he became regular call-up to the national side for 13 years, participating in four editions of the AFF Championship as well as the 2007 AFC Asian Cup.
