JAKARTA - PSSI received a temporary training camp located at the National Education University (UPI) Bandung. Hopefully, the problem of canceling the previous exercise will not happen again.

Minister of Youth and Sports Zainudin Amali said UPI would be PSSI's partner in the future. The university will support the Garuda squad's training.

"So when PSSI said it needed a training camp, for the time being, PSSI now has a training camp for the national team at UPI Bandung," Amali said on Monday, May 30, 2022.

As is known, PSSI does not yet have a qualified training camp for the Indonesian national team. For this reason, PSSI must rent a field at the Gelora Bung Karno Complex every time the Garuda squad will hold training.

As a consequence, the Indonesian national team sometimes have to clash with other tenants as has happened recently. As a result, Shin Tae-yong's squad failed to hold training at the Madya Stadium.

For this reason, the training camp at UPI is the best solution for the Indonesian national team, especially where various complete facilities can be used.

"There is a field, swimming pool, sports science laboratory, lodging, everything is complete. This afternoon we had a deal with the chancellor and PSSI agreed," said Amali.

The Indonesian national team is currently in Bandung. They are scheduled to have a friendly against Bangladesh at the Si Starling Harupat Stadium on Wednesday, June 1.

A total of 29 players were called to join for this agenda. After that friendly match, they will continue their trip to Kuwait for the 2023 Asian Cup qualifiers on 8 June.
