JAKARTA - Former DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan said he was grateful that the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) could be the home of Persija Jakarta for the 2024/2025 Liga 1 match.
"I am very happy that JIS can be used by Persija. Hopefully it will be Persija's home," said Anies when met in the Pancoran area, South Jakarta, Thursday, August 8.
Anies said that the international-scale stadium in the Tanjung Priok area, North Jakarta had been predicted to become the home base of the Kemayoran Tiger club since its construction. Finally, this was realized two years after JIS.
"I am very grateful that JIS can now be used according to its original purpose, used for Persija. So, I am happy that this can finally be done and hopefully as Persija's new house," explained Anies.
On that occasion, Anies hoped that Persija would make a winning achievement when competing at JIS. On the one hand, Anies also wants JIS to be a unifying place through sports matches.
"A football stadium like JIS is not only a facility to watch sports but it's a unifying facility because those who sit there next to all kinds of backgrounds, come with the same feeling in that place, because it is a unifying forum," he explained.
Persija Jakarta has determined the stadium that will be used to convene in Liga 1 2024/2025. The Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) was appointed after obtaining approval from PSSI and PT Liga Indonesia Baru (LIB) as the operator of the competition.
Good news for the Kemayoran Tigers to navigate this new season was conveyed by the Director of the Club, Mohamad Prapanca. He said, his blessing to be at JIS was obtained after going through several checking processes.
"It (JIS status as a home) has been approved. We have also received recommendations from the police and I think it is enough for us to use JIS," said Prapanca in his statement.
After the certainty of banning is obtained, Prapanca hopes that throughout the 2024/2025 season it can run smoothly. Nearby, the Kemayoran Tigers will host Barito Putera in the inaugural match of Liga 1 2024/2025 which will take place on Saturday, August 10, 2024.
"Yes, hopefully, God willing, we will continue to play at JIS in the opening match later. For this season, we will use JIS. However, we don't know for next season," said Prapanca.
