JAKARTA - The League 1 competition will continue on October 1. Preparations continue to be made by the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) and PT Liga Indonesia Baru (LIB), including technical matters of implementation.

The League 1 competition will certainly apply strict health protocols. The match was also held without spectators. Everything was done to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

PSSI General Chairperson Mochamad Iriawan said that his party had coordinated and communicated with several stakeholders regarding the continued implementation of the competition. All agreed to continue the competition.

However, PSSI will still await permission from the Task Force for the Acceleration of Handling COVID-19. Every sport that wants to hold a competition is required to obtain permission from the task force.

The PSSI Ketum also stated that his party had prepared a guidebook on health protocols in organizing competitions in the country. This book was formulated by doctors from the Indonesian national team based on references from WHO, FIFA, AFF, the Ministry of Health, Kemenpora and the Bundesliga.

In the book there are guidelines for preventing COVID-19 for football clubs. There is also an activity guide before, during and after the game. Everything has been prepared by PSSI.

"Before the match, there will be a rapid test on the players. So we make sure that everything is clear before the match. We will coordinate again with PT LIB on this matter," said Iwan Bule.
