IBL Director Happy First Series Of Season Runs Safely Without COVID-19 Disruption

JAKARTA - IBL President Director Junas Miradiarsyah is happy that the first series competition this season is running without a hitch. Moreover, no cases of COVID-19 were found during the performance in Jakarta.

IBL 2022 completed the inaugural series on Saturday, January 22. Furthermore, this prestigious national basketball competition will play a second series which will take place from January 29 to February 5, 2022 at GOR C-Tra Arena, Bandung.

"Thank you for attending and obeying all health protocol rules. This good start will be an encouragement and a standard that will be raised in the next series," Junas said in a statement received by VOI.

This homeland basketball competition is one of the first competitions that can bring spectators, even though the number is limited. However, good health protocols made the first series run as expected.

Since taking place on January 15, a total of IBL has conducted three PCR screening tests for players, officials, and the organizing committee. This good protocol will become the standard for the next series.

"In fact, we will increase the standard if it is necessary. This IBL Series 1 event may be an example for the City/Regency Government in organizing the Regional Regional Office," said Junas.

In the first series there were three teams who managed to carve a slick record. They managed to wipe out all the matches with a win.

The three teams that did not lose were Pelita Jaya Bakrie Jakarta, Amartha Hangtuah Jakarta, and Dewa United Surabaya. These three teams join the White Division.
