JAKARTA - PSSI General Chair Mochamad Iriawan admitted that the Kanjuruhan Stadium is still far from the standards set by FIFA. This was conveyed by him after checking directly in the field.

In the results of the check, there are a number of important notes. One of them is the availability of single seat (single seat) to determine the maximum capacity.

"There are many shortcomings, single seats that do not exist yet, then the standing stands will not be allowed," said Iriawan, as quoted from Antara.

The man who is familiarly called Iwan Bule said Arema FC still has the status of renting the Kanjuruhan Stadium from the Malang City Government. For this reason, the maintenance of the stadium is also considered limited.

"Therefore, yesterday President Joko Widodo will carry out renovations in accordance with the rules that are close to or equal to FIFA," he said.

Previously, President Jokowi had ordered his subordinates to conduct stadium audits throughout Indonesia which were used as league match venues. Not only League 1, but also League 2 and League 3.

In addition, the former Governor of DKI Jakarta also stated that national football governance must also be evaluated. Both match management, stadium management, audience management, time management, security management.

"Everything must be fully evaluated so that the events that occurred at the Kanjuruhan Stadium do not happen again, everything is clear," he said.
