JAKARTA - The fate of the 2020 League 1 competition is still uncertain. The Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) and PT Liga Indonesia Baru (LIB) decided that the competition would continue on November 1.

However, it is not certain that the match will start as planned. The reason is, until now there has been no permission from the crowd from the police. PSSI and PT LIB have prepared two other options.

It is uncertain that the 2020 League 1 competition has made Persebaya Surabaya take steps to dismiss its players. Training on Friday, 23 October 2020 will be the last before the close.

"I have also communicated with the manager for our training until Friday, while waiting for the news in one or two days," said Persebaya, Aji Santoso.

"I also see that now many teams are on vacation, many teams have returned to their respective places of origin," he continued.

Aji Santoso assessed that the 2020 League 1 competition would be difficult to start in November. This is because many teams outside Java based in Yogyakarta have returned to their respective regions.

"In my opinion, the possibility is very heavy if it runs in November, because there are indications that almost all of the teams in Yogyakarta have returned home," said Aji Santoso.

Ahead of the training holiday, the Persebaya Surabaya players undergo light training. In fact, many games are implemented so that players feel relaxed so that they are not overwhelmed by the uncertainty of the League 1 schedule.
