JAKARTA - Supporters of Bali United, North Side Boys showed solidarity. They firmly refused to be present at the Stadium during the 2021/2022 League 1 competition winner celebration.

Bali United was previously confirmed to be the champion of Liga 1 2021/2022 when the season still had two games remaining. That certainty was secured by Bali United following the draw that was won by Persib Bandung against Persik Kediri in the previous match.

After successfully securing champion status, Serdadu Tridatu is planning to hold a celebration of the victory in conjunction with the 34th week match against Persik Kediri. The match is scheduled to take place on Thursday, March 31 at the Captain I Wayan Dipta Stadium.

During the celebration of Bali United's victory, I Wayan Koster as the Governor of Bali expressed his desire to involve supporters in the stadium. Even though it was known that during the competition, there were no supporters who could support directly and all matches were also held without spectators due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation.

That moment was then rejected by Bali United supporters. Through the official fanbase account, North Side Boys showed solidarity by stating that if Bali United supporters were allowed to attend the stadium on matchday week 34, then fans of other clubs should also have the same rights.

"Refusing to come to the stadium," wrote the @Northsideboys12 account via an Instagram post, Monday, March 28.

"If we are allowed to enter the stadium, other supporters should also be able to guard the (team) pride," continued the statement.

This upload immediately received a warm response from a number of other club fanbases. Through the comments column, several other fanbases praised the solidarity shown by the North Side Boys.

"RESPECT BLI," replied the @kitabonek account that supports Persebaya Surabaya.

"RESPECT BLI," commented the @tangerang_connection account as a supporter of Persita Tangerang.

"Respect," said the @pss_kita account that supports PSS Sleman.
