JAKARTA - The operator of the Liga 1 competition, PT Liga Indonesia Baru (PT LIB) revealed three date options to restart the 2022/2023 season competition which was delayed by almost a month.
Juni Rachman as the President Commissioner of PT LIB revealed the option of a date after holding a meeting with representatives of the League 1 participating clubs on the Owner's Club Meeting agenda at the Sultan Hotel.
"There are several options for the date (League 1 will be rolled out again), starting from November 18, November 25, and December 2," said Juni Rachman when met on Friday, November 4 evening WIB.
"To finish, the end of the competition, April 16, is all on April 16, because it cannot be passed from that," he added regarding the certainty of the end of the competition.
Although the date for the re-launch of Liga 1 is still an option, but the end of the competition is clearly stated in June. The reason is that according to June, Liga 1 must be completed on time because Indonesia is preparing to host the 2023 U-20 World Cup from May 20 to June 11, 2023.
"April must be (completed), because in May we have the U20 World Cup and all of that had to be sterile one month earlier. In fact, not a month, but from November, FIFA will expect it later," said Juni Rachman.
The postponement of Liga 1 2022-2023 is the impact of the Malang Ferry Tragedy last October 1. The incident claimed 135 lives, the majority of which were Arema FC supporters.
