Pramono Pamer, PSSI Wants To Make JIS Homebase For The National Team

JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung revealed that the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) wants to make the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) the headquarters of the Indonesian national team.

According to Pramono, this happened because currently the DKI Provincial Government in its leadership is paying more attention to the development of JIS infrastructure.

This was revealed when opening a seminar entitled 'Realizing Jakarta Top 50 Global City through Acceleration of Infrastructure Innovation and Digital Services'.

"Right now, JIS is so crowded, everyone then comes to talk about JIS. Even PSSI wants to make JIS its homebase," said Pramono at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Tuesday, August 5.

In addition, Pramono also claimed that many parties offered to become JIS managers who are currently still managed by PT Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro) BUMD.

"It's so happening, so the President Director is creative, suddenly the JIS is already willing. 'Yes, I'll just manage it, I'll give you this money'," explained Pramono imitating the words of JIS fans.

Pramono felt that JIS' increasing attraction was seen after he revealed the discourse of building a connecting bridge between JIS and Ancol, adding Transjakarta routes, making JIS a Persija cage, to facilitate other activities at the stadium built by former DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan.

"Now everyone feels that JIS is something. This is how we then market JIS into something that is finally being contested," Pramono explained.

"In fact, many K-pop and macem-macem concerts have been available at JIS. Now between Persija and K-pop who want to fight," continued Pramono.
