League 1 2020 Will Be Continued, Several Clubs Are Confused

JAKARTA - The Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) is rumored to be continuing the League 1 competition for the 2020 season. It is likely that the competition will start in October.

PSSI Acting Secretary General (Plt Sekjen), Yunus Nusi said that was based on an agreement in a virtual meeting between PSSI, clubs and other stakeholders.

However, it turns out that not all clubs agree with this. For example, Madura United, which assesses the risk is very high.

"Who or what institutions can guarantee that September or October will bring COVID-19 under control?" said the Director of Madura United, Haruna Soemitro.

Meanwhile, Persita Tangerang questioned the format of the competition if it was to be continued. According to the manager of Persita, I Nyoman Suryanthara, PSSI has not yet detailed what the League 1 format will be like.

"What is the format of the match, what is the home tournament?" said Suryanthara.

There is a discourse that the 2020 League 1 competition will be focused on Java Island. The discourse proposed by PSSI Ketum Mochamad Iriawan also raised questions on the club side. How will club accommodation from outside Java be if that format is used?

"Like their lodging, whether it is covered or not. We (clubs in Java) do not matter," said President of Persik, Abdul Hakim Bafagih.
