JAKARTA - The Serpong City team's mission to rise to level this season is considered dashed after PSSI went through an executive committee meeting (Exco) on Thursday, January 12 decided to stop the League 3 competition after theceruhan Tragedy.
"This decision has destroyed the dreams of the players, what will happen to the players? Apart from dreams, they also have families to live in," said Serpong City CEO Jerry Nugroho as quoted by Antara, Saturday, January 14.
According to Jerry, this termination will also have an impact on the Indonesian national team.
"How will the national team be good without a good competition, don't expect the national team to be better if it's still like this," Jerry continued.
"This incident will certainly add to the trauma of Indonesian children who aspire to become footballers, every year the league is unclear. From a schedule perspective to a format everything has never been made properly," Jerry added.
"How much is it cost, time, energy that clubs have spent? Indonesian football will not become an advanced industry, this is tantamount to having the management kill the fate of clubs and players," said Jerry.
Serpong City itself is a club participating in the Banten League 3 which from the start has a target to be promoted to Liga 2.
The decision taken by PSSI is certainly very difficult for the club elements, from management, players to officials.
"I hope that in the future the federation can be more clean and filled by competent people who produce good leagues, and strong national teams that will certainly make the investment climate in football clubs even better," concluded Jerry.
Not only League 3, PSSI also stopped League 2 which made a number of teams react.
The parent organization of Indonesian football also decided that there would be no degradation in the 2022/2023 Liga 1 season competition.
