JAKARTA - Thai League club, Chonburi FC, had the opportunity to try out the Jakarta International Stadium, Sunday, July 24. They played at the pride stadium of the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Anies Baswedan, against Persija Jakarta.
This match is a friendly match, in the context of the launch of JIS. In that match, both teams drew 3-3.
Chonburi coach Sasrom Pobprasert praised JIS as an extraordinary stadium. According to him, this stadium proves that Indonesian football continues to grow.
"It was not easy to build this stadium but Indonesia managed to do it," said Sasrom, as reported by Antara.
However, there is a note that JIS managers need to pay attention to. According to Sasrom, the ground for the stadium with a capacity of 82 thousand spectators is still considered to have a hard contour.
"Soil and grass are a problem for our players. Our players have to adapt to these conditions for about 20 minutes," said Sasrom.
Meanwhile, Chonburi FC captain Kroekrit Thawikan also expressed his appreciation for JIS which he considered to be of good quality. He also hopes to be able to return to perform at the stadium, which is located in North Jakarta.
"We hope to be here again. The match against Persija went well," said the 31-year-old footballer.
