JAKARTA - The President of the International Football Federation (FIFA), Gianni Infantino, will visit Indonesia in the near future. Gianni's presence could not be separated from the incident at the Kanjuruhan Stadium, Malang, which claimed hundreds of lives.
The news of Gianni's presence was conveyed directly by President Joko Widodo Jokowi, in a press statement at the State Palace, Friday, October 7. He said the FIFA leader would hold discussions with the government regarding football in Indonesia.
"Later, the President of FIFA will come to Indonesia in October or November to discuss with the government," said President Joko Widodo.
Before Gianni arrived in Indonesia, FIFA had already proposed the formation of a joint transformation team with the Government of Indonesia and AFC. This is to develop a system so that Indonesian football can run even better.
"FIFA together with the government will form a team to transform Indonesian football," he continued.
To maximize the performance of the transformation team, President Jokowi said that FIFA would have an office in Indonesia during the cooperation process. In addition, from the previous communication, Jokowi said FIFA would not impose sanctions on Indonesia.
"FIFA will have an office in Indonesia during these processes,"
"Alhamdulillah, Indonesian football is not subject to sanctions by FIFA," said President Jokowi.
