JAKARTA - Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono responded to the condition of the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) in an area outside the stadium which had been inundated due to heavy rain during the U-17 World Cup (Pildun) match last night.
Heru admitted that he had reminded his subordinates, especially the Water Resources Service, to pay attention to the smooth running of the waterways around the international-class stadium.
"Regarding the flood of JIS, I have ordered SDA this morning for channels around JIS (so that) it is observed," said Heru in the Penjaringan area, North Jakarta, Wednesday, November 15.
Last night, spectators of the U-17 World Cup faced a puddle of a moment out of the JIS stadium at the exit of the JIS zone or ramp west in the direction to the bus stop area.
The puddle at the stadium located in Papanggo Village, Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta took place during the England match against Iran on the second matchday of Group C of the 2023 U-17 World Cup.
Some of the spectators who were about to go home were forced to walk out of the stadium area without footwear so that the shoes or sandals were not wet. Some of them are choosing to survive waiting for the puddles to recede.
President Director of PT Jakarta Propertindo Iwan Takwin as the manager of JIS clarified that the inundation occurred due to cables that closed the canal. So that the flow of rainwater is hampered into the channel.
"That's because there is a temporary cable that closes the channel. Last night it was clear after the cable was moved," said Iwan in a short message.

For information, JIS is the venue with the most matches based on FIFA recommendations. There are a total of 16 matches that have started on November 10 to December 2.
After receiving a lot of criticism, even almost failed to use it as one of the venues for the U-17 World Cup, now the Jakarta International Stadium has won a lot of praise and has even become the most places for the U-17 World Cup matches.
The government previously carried out many renovations at JIS. It can be seen from the many praises received from international supporters for the splendor of the stadium.
It is also known that grass on international fields was immediately carried out by FIFA with FIFA consultants from Australia even though the grass used remained from Indonesia because they looked for grass that was easy and quickly obtained.
