JAKARTA - Head of Operations Section of the Central Jakarta Metro Police AKBP Saufi Salamun said 1,394 personnel were deployed to secure the 2022 Indonesia versus Cambodia AFF Cup Group A match at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK), Jakarta, Friday.

"It is a joint personnel including the TNI that deployed company satu or 100 troops," said Saufi, quoted by Antara, Friday.

According to the results of a coordination meeting with stakeholders including the National Police, PSSI only provided around 25,000 tickets for spectators who wanted to watch the match live at SUGBK.

The maximum capacity of SUGBK is in the range of 77,000 spectators.

The plan is that President Joko Widodo and Minister of Youth and Sports Zainudin Amali will watch Indonesia's match against Cambodia live.
