SURABAYA - The Mayor of Surabaya, Tri Rismaharini (Risma), confirmed that the renovation of the Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium (GBT), which has been adjusted to the standards of the Federation of International Football Association (FIFA), has been completed. In fact, the lift, grass and single seats are all installed.
"Including the installation of lights has also been completed, now it is up to the installation to PLN," said Risma, in Surabaya, Friday, November 27.
But Risma asked the Surabaya City Public Housing and Settlement Area Service, Cipta Karya and Spatial Planning (DPRKP-CKTR) to beautify the renovated rooms. For example, each toilet door must be numbered. "I ask for a number on each door. Then when you finish cleaning, don't forget to lock the room," said Risma.
In addition, Risma also confirmed that currently his staff were speeding up the construction or renovation outside the stadium, such as work on road access, parking lots and three training fields completed by the end of this year. Meanwhile, the new road access undertaken by the Public Works Office of Bina Marga will be completed around March-April 2020.
"I also plan to use the Waste Power Plant (PLTSa). We will see the additional power connection. Because it is quite large, not only a stadium but also a complex, new roads, the three training fields need lighting," he said.
Risma said that GBT was ready to welcome the U-20 World Cup in 2021. Risma advised the public that when the World Cup arrived, the most important thing was that the people had to be good and friendly hosts.
According to him, a friendly host will attract foreigners or tourists to come back to the City of Heroes.
"So, people who feel at home do not have to be impressed by something luxurious. But they can also be impressed because of their hospitality, and Surabaya is very famous," he concluded.
