Persib Bandung can now breathe a sigh of relief. The club from West Java has obtained permission to host PSS Sleman at the Bandung Bandung Stadium, Api, Sunday, February 5 tomorrow.

This was confirmed by the Karo Ops of the West Java Police, Kombes Budi Wasono. He said his party had coordinated with the organizing committee regarding licensing.

"Then PUPR has also allowed it to be held at GBLA tomorrow," Budi said in Bandung, as quoted from Antara, West Java, Saturday, February 4.

In addition, Budi also said that this match could be attended by spectators. However, he could not confirm whether PSS supporters could attend the stadium. "Today we have another coordination meeting," said Budi.

Meanwhile, Director of PT Persib Bandung with dignity Teddy Tjahjono said previously his club had the option of using the Siliwangi Stadium or GBLA Stadium. Now after the GBLA Stadium is declared usable, according to him, the organizing committee provides 20 thousand tickets for spectators. For this reason, he also asked the audience, especially Bobotoh, to be polite after being given permission by the police. "The quota for the guest team is still being assessed, maybe. We have not received information from the police whether it is allowed to be allocated to the visitors," said Teddy.

Previously, Persib was threatened with not being able to play in Bandung. The reason is, the GBLA Stadium, which used to be their home, is being renovated for the 2023 U-20 World Cup.
