JAKARTA - The Governor of DKI Jakarta Province Anies Baswedan inaugurated the Muara Angke Ingub Field in Pluit, Penjaringan, North Jakarta on Friday night, November 26. He hopes this field can serve the community, especially in the field of sports.

Anies said that this international standard soccer field was proven by the presence of FIFA certified artificial turf including supporting facilities such as backstops, field lights, and other supports.

Even though it is classy, Anies ensures that this field is free and accessible to all residents. Moreover, he targets users to be middle to lower classes who rarely get to enjoy sports facilities that comply with international standards.

"The target is users of the general public. In particular, the lower middle class who have had little opportunity to enjoy international standard facilities easily and free of charge. This can now be obtained in the surrounding environment," said Anies in a written statement quoted on Saturday, November 27. .

As for the naming of Ingub, said Anies, this was inspired by the emergence of the Inpres Elementary School. Previously, the SD was present to answer the educational needs of the lower middle class.

For this reason, Anies asked the manager not to commercialize it and to use it for free.

"This world-class standard football field will later be used by all levels of society. It is not commercialized and the public can use it for free in accordance with applicable laws and regulations," he said.

Anies also said that later on, the public could order this field using the Sports Facility E-Booking application which was integrated with JAKI. So, prospective users will only need to order through their devices.

"In the future, all DKI Jakarta residents who want to use DKI Jakarta's sports facilities can take advantage of this service for free. It is enough to download the JAKI application via mobile devices," he said.

Please note, the Muara Angke Ingub Field has a land area of 12,500 square meters. This facility is an asset of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government and the result of the 2019 revitalization through the Building Floor Coefficient (KLB) exceedance fund.

The inauguration was also attended by the Head of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Youth and Sports Office, Achmad Firdaus; Head of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Social Service, Premi Lasari; Assistant for People's Welfare of the Regional Secretariat of DKI Jakarta, Uus Kuswanto; representatives of the North Jakarta Administration, as well as several community leaders from Muara Angke.
