JAKARTA - Minister of Youth and Sports (Menpora) Zainudin Amali denied the practice of 'elephant football' at the 2021 Papua National Sports Week (PON).
"So, I happened not to be there, I've asked friends who are neutral. They said, we saw nothing to suspect. I also asked several national players, they said there were none. So, just play normally," said the Minister of Youth and Sports in an online discussion about the implementation of the Papua PON in Jakarta, Wednesday, as reported by Antara.
The Minister of Youth and Sports emphasized that this was in response to reports of the practice occurring in the group C match of the Papuan PON soccer sport, which pitted Aceh against East Kalimantan at the Barnabas Youwe Stadium, Sentani, Jayapura, last Monday.
