Asked About Composition Of Indonesian Football Transformation Team, Menpora: Different From TGIPF

JAKARTA - Minister of Youth and Sports (Menpora) Zainudin Amali said President Joko Widodo would form a special team to follow up on a letter from FIFA. Jokowi's team members will be determined.

The Menpora emphasized that the special team would be different from the Joint Independent Fact Finding Team (TGIPF) that had been formed by the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs Mahfud MD. Because the task is different.

As is known, TGIPF was formed to investigate the case of the Kanjuruhan Malang tragedy which killed 132 people (latest data, red).

"Later, the President will come again, form a team for that. It's different from what he is currently working on," Amali said at the Jakarta Presidential Palace, as reported by Antara, Tuesday, October 11, 2022.

He said this special team was formed to respond to what FIFA's letter had conveyed to President Jokowi.

Menpora explained again, there are several collaborative steps FIFA, AFC, and the Government of Indonesia. The first relates to stadium safety and security standards.

Then protocols and procedures for securing football matches in accordance with international safety standards.

Then intensive socialization to supporters in an effort to transform football in Indonesia.

The transformation of the match schedule will also be the focus of the transformation team. This is to avoid the timing of the match which could increase the risk.
