JAKARTA - The Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) will re-host the League 1 competition in October. The matches will continue amid the COVID-19 pandemic with the implementation of strict protocols. This is stated in Decree number 53 / VI / 2020.
Pros and cons emerged as this decision was made. Persebaya Surabaya and Barito Putera took a stand not agreeing to continue the competition. Security and safety reasons are the main.
Persik Kediri then took the same steps. The reasons are not much different. There are concerns about competing amid an uncontrolled outbreak. Peach still wants Liga 1 to be discontinued and replaced with a tournament.
The Chairman of PSSI, Mochamad Iriawan, respects several clubs who have stated that they do not agree with the 2020 League 1 continued. The man who is familiarly called Iwan Bule admitted that he would further discuss this matter.
"All our friends. Later we will discuss with them, including what the options are," said the former Kapolda Metro Jaya on the official website.
Iriawan understands the concerns of the clubs. Especially if you look at the growing number of positive cases in Indonesia. In fact, on July 2 yesterday, new positive cases of COVID-19 in Indonesia set a record by touching the number of 1,624 cases.
"What is certain is that we hope that the COVID-19 situation will slow down in October," he added.
