JAKARTA - General Chairperson (Ketum) of the All-Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) Erick Thohir moved quickly to coordinate with the apparatus, organizing committee, as well as the management of PSIS Semarang and Persis Solo. This follows the riots outside Jatidiri Stadium, Semarang, Central Java, on Friday 17 February. The match titled the Central Java derby was indeed held without spectators based on a joint decision from the Organizing Committee, PSIS management and Persis as well as police officers. However, a number of the host supporters wanted to see their favorite team competing in the stadium. "I have communicated with the apparatus, committee, and management of the two teams. I ask all parties to be calm," Erick said in his statement, Friday evening Erick understands the disappointment of the supporters who want to watch his favorite team compete. Erick admitted that he would immediately find a solution so that football matches can be enjoyed calmly and comfortably for all parties. Moreover, continued Erick, Semarang and Solo supporters have been an example in building healthy rivalry. "Semarang and Solo supporters are confused. That's why in the future there needs to be an evaluation related to the risk category at each match," said Erick.

Erick also asked the security forces to act persuasively and learn from the experience of the Kanjuruhan tragedy. Erick believes that the security forces are also able to do their best in calming the masses without repressive actions, especially by using tear gas. "I ask the supporters and the authorities to be calm and think clearly together, our intentions are the same for safe and comfortable football for all," said Erick.
