The enthusiasm of supporters of the Indonesian national team was felt around the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK) on Friday, December 23. They continued to arrive even though the AFF Cup Group A preliminary round match against Cambodia was already underway.

From the observations of the VOI.ID team in the field, spectators still arrived and queued into the first ring of the stadium gate until 17.30 WIB. In fact, the match had started at 16.30 WIB.

One of the supporters said there was no problem if he could only enter the field even though the first half was over. Because, according to him, the most important thing is to be able to see Witan Sulaeman and his friends perform in person.

"I worked first, but I still came here (SUGBK) apart from buying tickets too, I still want to see and support the Indonesian national team directly," said a supporter named Ferdi from West Jakarta.

The opportunity to watch the national team compete directly in Jakarta attracted the attention of fans. This is because this is the first time a football match in the country has been attended by spectators since it was frozen after the tragedy of the Kanjuruhan Stadium.

After appearing at SUGBK, the Garuda player immediately left for the KLFA Stadium in Brunei Darussalam to fight the hosts in the second match, Monday, December 26.

Until this news was written, supporters were still entering the main stadium. Meanwhile, the match on the field was exciting because Indonesia led with a score of 2-1 through goals from Egy Maulana and Witan Sulaeman.
