JAKARTA - The League 1 competition will continue in October 2020. This is stated in the PSSI Decree number SKEP / 53 / VI / 2020. The letter also explained about the player's contract.

It is said that there will be a contract adjustment if the League 1 competition starts again. Payment of player and coach salaries 50 percent of the contract value. This decision is considered to trigger polemic.

For that, the club doesn't want to be careless. PSIS Semarang took careful steps. The club management nicknamed Mahesa Jenar will first consult with PSSI and the legal team. This is to avoid problems in the future.

"Regarding contract renegotiation, we don't want to be careless," said PSIS CEO, Yoyok Sukawi, to the media crew.

He said the new management would communicate with the players after a discussion with PSSI. The club, he continued, wanted to find the best solution for both parties. Yoyok also promised to be transparent about this.

Persib Bandung also does not want to rush into contract renegotiations. The club nicknamed Maung Bandung is still waiting for certainty when the competition will resume.

Meanwhile, Persik Kediri chose to follow PSSI's decision regarding the player's contract listed in the decree. President of Persik, Abdul Hakim Bafagih said that his party will immediately conduct negotiations with the players.

"Even though it is a sensitive issue, all football industry stakeholders are obliged to follow this decision," said Hakim on the official website of the Indonesian League.

Persiraja Banda Aceh took quick steps. Management has reached an agreement with the players and coaches regarding the new contract. In accordance with the PSSI decree, the salaries of the players and coaches are deducted by 50 percent of the contract value.
