PSSI Postponed The 2020 League 2 Competition, The Club Feeling Aggrieved

JAKARTA - The Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) has postponed the League 1 and League 2 competitions. This decision was based on the non-issuance of a crowd permit from the police. The club also responded in various ways.

PSMS Medan considers PSSI's decision to be detrimental to the club. PSMS General Secretary, Julius Raja said, all clubs must have complained about this delay.

He also considered, this delay added to the burden on the club. One of the reasons is the possibility of no subsidy income from PT Liga Indonesia Baru.

"On average, the team has spent money to give the best," said Julius.

PSMS asked PSSI to be firm in providing certainty when the competition starts. Sriwijaya FC management also asked for the same thing. They want PSSI to ensure that this does not happen again.

"I'm afraid that next month we won't be able to do it anymore so that we as a club will really be harmed," said Sriwijaya FC Manager, Hendri Zainuddin.

Meanwhile, Central Kalimantan Putra admits that he appreciates the police for not allowing the competition to take place. Currently, Central Kalimantan Putra is still waiting for an official letter from PSSI regarding this matter.

"So we can confirm when the competition plan will be continued this year," said the Manager of Central Kalimantan Putra, Hasanudin Noor.

Hasanudin ensured that the Men's Central Kalimantan players would continue to undergo training in preparation. It is claimed that the Central Kalimantan men's players are not affected by this news.

"They continue to strengthen their ability and team cohesiveness," he said.
