JAKARTA - Liga 1 season 2022/2023 will roll on 23 July. Ahead of the kick-off of the highest caste soccer competition in Indonesia, Persija Jakarta actually canceled using the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) as their headquarters.

From the official website of PT Liga Indonesia Baru (PT LIB) as the operator of the event, this season there will be 18 clubs competing in League 1. Including three promoted clubs from League 2.

Based on the organizers' calculations, there will be a total of 360 matches played during the full season. If things go according to plan, the competition will end in April 2023.

This season, the organizing system is also back to using home-away. This is different from last season which used a bubble system due to the high level of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition to returning to the home-away system, this season's competition has also allowed the presence of supporters directly in the stadium. With this decision, PT LIB also conducted a review of the stadium headquarters for each club for the safety and comfort of the supporters.

As for the headquarters, Persija, which was originally planned to be housed in the new JIS stadium, failed to materialize. The Kemayoran Tigers will return to the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK) as the headquarters and the Patriot Candrabhaga Stadium as an alternative location.

In addition to Persija, which is canceled based at JIS, another interesting fact ahead of the 2022/2023 Liga 1 title is that there are a number of clubs that have agreed to share headquarters.

Persita Tangerang and Dewa United both use the Indomilk Arena Stadium, Tangerang. Meanwhile, Persikabo 1973 and RANS Nusantara FC were housed at the Pakansari Stadium, Bogor.
