Arema or Aremania football team supporters turned on the flare light or flare during the celebration of the 35th Anniversary of Arema/ANTARA

MALANG - Arema FC was again sentenced to a fine of Rp. 50 million due to an individual supporters who lit flares at the Demang Lehman Stadium, Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan on Sunday, September 4. The chairman of the Arema FC Panpel, Abdul Haris, said that the management deeply regretted the violations committed by supporters in the away match. "This is very unfortunate. This is the umpteenth time Arema FC has received a fine due to flares," said Haris in Malang Regency, Antara, Sunday, September 11. Haris explained that previously Arema had also received fines due to supporters who set off flares at the Bali United at the Captain I Wayan Dipta Gianyar Stadium, Bali some time ago. According to him, the actions of supporters who lit flares on the away match, winning beyond the control of the Arema FC Panpel. He hopes that the fines imposed by the Disciplinary Commission (Komdis) of the All-Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) will be the last. “We hope this is the last. In away games, we can't control it from the side of the security system. But according to the agreement, Aremania could apply the customary law,” he said. Based on the Komdis letter numbered 046/L1/SK/KD-PSSl/IX/2022 received by Arema FC management, there was an ignition of one Singo Edan flare supporter in the West Tribun. This is reinforced by sufficient evidence to confirm the occurrence of violations of the PSSI Komdis discipline code. Referring to Article 70 Paragraph 1, Paragraph 4 and Attachment 1 Number 5 of the PSSI Disciplinary Code in 2018, Arema was subject to a fine of Rp. 50 million. The repetition of the related violations will result in a heavier sentence. Since the Liga 1 competition, Arema has so far been recorded as having received a fine of Rp320 million. The sanction was given after a number of violations, including the lighting of flares when Singo Edan visited the Captain I Wayan Dipta Gianyar Stadium which resulted in a fine of Rp100 million. Then, Arema has also been subject to a fine of Rp. 170 million due to a number of violations that occurred when Singo Edan hosted PSS Sleman. During the match, Arema supporters were found to have turned on flares and resulted in a fine of Rp. 100 million. Then, there was a throw of mineral water glasses by unscrupulous supporters directed at PSS Sleman players and resulted in a fine of Rp. 50 million, as well as the shooting of several firecrackers to the hotel where PSS Sleman was staying and was fined Rp. 20 million.
