JAKARTA - A shocking news was conveyed by PSSI through its official website. Based on the decision of the PSSI Executive Committee meeting, Thursday, January 12, the official 2022/2023 Liga 2 was discontinued.
PSSI Secretary General, Yunus Nusi said, there were three factors that made PSSI finally take this decision. PSSI claims, there was a request from most of the League 2 clubs that wanted the competition not to continue.
"This happened because there was no conformity with the concept of continuing the competition between the club and the operator as well as the implementation or continuation of Liga 2 which was very difficult to complete before the 2023 U-20 World Cup began on May 20, 2023," said PSSI's statement.
The second factor is the recommendation from the Indonesian football transformation team after the tragedy of Kanjuruhan regarding facilities and infrastructure that have not met the requirements.
In addition, Perpol No. 10 of 2022, which mandates the latest licensing process by taking into account the time period for notification, submission of recommendations and permits, to security assistance, also has a role.
With the League 2 competition discontinued, there will be no relegation system in this season's League 1 competition.
Selain Liga 2, PSSI juga menghentikan Liga 3 musim 2022/2023. Bagi Asprov yang telah melatar, kuotanya tetap dapat digunakan pada kompetisi selanjutnya.
This news is certainly sad considering that the Indonesian national team has just failed to reach the 2022 AFF Cup final. Many parties think that this failure was caused by a vacuum competition starting last October 1.
Now, PSSI has stopped the League 2 and League 3 competitions which are considered a forum for the Indonesian national team to find qualified human resources.
