JAKARTA - The All-Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) has decided to temporarily stop the 2022/2023 Indonesian League 1 competition. This is the impact of the deadly tragedy that occurred at the Malang Kanjuruhan Stadium, Saturday, October 1 yesterday.
Previously, PT Liga Indonesia Baru said the postponement was only a week. However, a different statement was conveyed by the General Chairperson of PSSI, Mochamad Iriawan.
On the PSSI official website, the man who is familiarly called Iwan Bule said that Liga 1 would be stopped indefinitely.
"For the time being, we will stop the 2022/2023 Liga 1 competition for an undetermined time," said the chairman of PSSI.
In addition, he also emphasized that Arema FC is prohibited from hosting the remainder of the competition this season.
The former West Java Police Chief later said that this incident was an evaluation material for PSSI so that incidents like this would not happen again. PSSI has also formed an investigation team for this incident.
"The team has been working starting today (Sunday, October 2, ed)," said Iriawan.
The tragedy at the Kanjuruhan Stadium began when the audience burst into the field area after Arema FC lost 2-3 to Persebaya Surabaya. The police then fired tear gas in the field which made many supporters faint and difficult to breathe.
The defeated supporters caused panic in the stadium area and were scrambling to find a way out. They complained of shortness of breath from tear gas and being trampled on while trying to leave the stadium stands.
