JAKARTA - PT Liga Indonesia Baru (LIB) has not thought of imposing sanctions on clubs that still refuse to participate in the League 1 competition. This Indonesian League competition operator is still promoting communication.

Previously reported, Persebaya stuck to their decision not to agree with the competition to continue. They feel they have not received a definite answer regarding regulations for the safety of players and team officials.

Apart from Persebaya, Barito Putera is reported to have the same attitude. They also have not decided on a homebase while following the competition.

"The point of view is not sanctions, but so that we have the same passion for Indonesian football and our bonds to football stakeholders," said PT Liga Indonesia Baru (LIB) President Director, Akhmad Hadian Lukita, to VOI when asked about the threat of sanctions for clubs that refuse to enter competitions.

"LIB prioritizes communication first so that all clubs can participate," he added.

Akhmad said, there is not yet a time limit for that. However, he hopes that as soon as possible the club that refused to change their mind. Of course, PT LIB is still waiting for a decision regarding the homebase that will be used later.

Regarding Persebaya's request for a detailed explanation of the health protocol and handling if there are positive players, PT LIB claims to have provided a general explanation. However, they will still provide a detailed explanation of what Persebaya is concerned about.

"In early September there will be a medical meeting, led by the PSSI medical team, which will be attended by the club medical team and the health service where there are League 1 and 2 matches," said Akhmad Lukita.
