"God willing, at least before mid-September League 2 can be rolled out," said Sudjarno at an online press conference on Wednesday, as reported by Antara.
Currently, the retired police officer with the final rank of Inspector General continued, his party and PSSI are continuing to prepare details for the 2021 Liga 2.
One of them is the matter of group division. As is known, Liga 2 will take place with a tournament system where the elimination is carried out in the group phase.
Later, each group will be held in a different area. The host of the group stage is one of the clubs in the group.
There are eight clubs that are bidding to host the group phase, namely PSMS Medan, Sriwijaya FC, Martapura Dewa United, PSCS Cilacap, Central Kalimantan Putra, Persiba Balikpapan, PSPS Riau and Persis Solo.
However, until this news was revealed, there was no certainty about how many groups there were in League 2.
"The format is three or four groups or maybe there is another scheme. We continue to consult with PSSI," said Sudjarno.
In addition, while preparing for Liga 2, the LIB also continues to look for sponsors to work with.
"League 2 this season is interesting to watch," said Sudjarno.
