Radja Nainggolan Watchs IBL Basketball When Satria Muda Entertains Dewa United

JAKARTA - Radja Nainggolan was present at the Senayan Basketball Hall, Jakarta, during the 2024 Indonesian Basketball League (IBL) match between Satria Muda Pertamina vs Dewa United Banten on Sunday, January 14, 2024.

The Bhayangkara FC player sat on the courtside with PSSI General Chair Erick Thohir, Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi, and Menpora Dito Ariotedjo.

Radja was very enthusiastic even though it was the first time he watched basketball in person and did not really understand basketball.

"I think this is good. For me, I don't know anything about basketball. I don't know how they play."

"However, it's been amazing, it's been a good event, I'm enjoying this."

Radja Nainggolan further admitted that he came to watch Satria Muda vs Dewa United invited by Erick Thohir.

Incidentally, he is currently in Jakarta and Liga 1 2023/2024 is still at a hiatus until February 2024.

"I have free time, why not watch basketball. I'm in Jakarta and owner (Satria Muda) Erick Thohir invites me. That's why I'm here (watching IBL)," he said when met by VOI.

Meanwhile, the 35-year-old revealed that the basketball match turned out to be exciting. Moreover, the match he was watching was tight.

The host Satria Muda must recognize Dewa United's superiority with a score of 92-101 after going through a hot match and chasing points.

Seeing the match that made the heart beat, Radja Nainggolan didn't mind if he had to watch again during his spare time.

"Yes, of course (will watch basketball again). No problem," he said.

Bhayangkara FC started the match week 24 of Liga 1 2023/2024 on February 4, 2024 when they visited Persebaya Surabaya headquarters.

Radja Nainggolan is still struggling with Bhayangkara FC to get out of the relegation zone. Currently, The Guardian is still at the bottom with 15 points.
