Persebaya Trainer Call PSSI Holds Meeting With The Police

JAKARTA - The 2020 League 1 competition is planned to start in November. However, there is still uncertainty regarding the fate of the Indonesian League.

This is because the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) and PT Liga Indonesia Baru (LIB) have not yet obtained a crowd permit from the police. In fact, that is one of the important points if the competition is to be held.

Persebaya Surabaya trainer, Aji Santoso, revealed that there was information that PSSI was in communication with the police. This is a good signal for clubs who hope the League 1 competition will continue.

"I heard information from the management that there was a meeting between the federation and the police. We are waiting for the results," said Aji Santoso as quoted from the club's official website.

Aji added, Persebaya management has not yet decided whether the players will continue to practice or be closed. The club nicknamed Bajul Ijo will only take steps if there is a result of the PSSI meeting with the security forces.

"Of course, it depends on the decision of the meeting," he said.

Previously, PSSI Acting Secretary General (Sekjen) Yunus Nusi admitted that his party would meet with the police in the near future. However, he could not confirm when the meeting would be held.
