JAKARTA - Persib Bandung managed to get full points when they hosted Persija Jakarta. However, the victory was tarnished due to the chaos of supporters that occurred after the match at Si Jalak Harupat Stadium, Bandung Regency, Monday, September 23, 2024.

Related to this, PSSI through the Executive Committee (Exco) member, Arya Sinulingga, responded to the incident that occurred. He asked for a riot of supporters after the Persib Bandung vs Persija match in Jakarta was thoroughly investigated.

Persib Bandung won 2-0 at the Persija Jakarta meeting in the sixth week of Liga 1 2024/2025. However, a riot of supporters occurred in the middle of the field and a number of stewards were seen guarding the months after the match.

It is not yet known exactly what the main cause of this is. However, it is known that in the previous Persib Bandung match against Port FC a similar incident had occurred.

Regarding the hot situation, Arya Sinulingga said that this had touched the realm of law. Therefore, he said Persib Bandung must take responsibility for the situation.

"This is indeed in the realm of law, it must enter the realm of law. However, on the other hand, the club must also be responsible for this condition. It cannot be separated," said Arya Sinulingga in a statement received Monday, September 23, 2024, evening WIB.

"So we hope that the club will immediately resolve this, their problems with supporters. If there are criminal acts, they must be resolved legally," he said again.

Meanwhile, PSSI did not justify any reason for the chaos that broke out after the match. According to Arya, violence in the football environment, especially in the stadium, is a form of violation.

Reflecting on this incident, PSSI firmly asked Persib Bandung as the host in the match to immediately resolve the internal problems of team management with its supporters.

"There is no word tolerance for violence on the ground. Any reason cannot be used for that. So, it must be emphasized," said Arya Sinulingga.
