Surabaya - PSSI held a Football Sarasehan with League 1 and League 2 clubs. This activity was held in Surabaya, East Java, on Saturday, March 4.

PSSI General Chair Erick Thohir said there was a lot to talk about in the gathering. PSSI and the club are not only talking about business, but also ideal and good competitions.

"In the end, the goal is to make the club healthy. If the club owner has to burn the money continuously, the club will definitely not be healthy," said Erick as quoted from the official PSSI website.

"I think we agree that everyone wants to move forward, wants a healthy club, and of course the end is a tough national team," he continued.

Erick also has a dream, the Indonesian League can later be as big as Serie A, Bundesliga, La Liga, Premier League England.

"So they haven't just competed, they have made a profit. So in the future we want it to be like that. Can it? I can. I'm sure," he said.

Erick then said PSSI would also hold a gathering with League 3, Provincial Association (Asprov), jambore supporters. At that activity, his party will also talk about business.

"The football league is not an exclusive community. We are competing with other countries. So we will do a lot of things," said Erick.

The following is the agreement taken in the Football Sarasehan between PSSI and League 1 and League 2: Clubs.

1. Competition calendars between leagues 1 and 2 will be semi-nimal, possibly intersecting with each other. This is to increase commercial value and sports for League 2, so that the quality increases significantly.

Liga 2 will have its own slot that does not coincide with Liga 1, so fans and fans of Liga 2 can enjoy football more livelyly

2. Protection for the business ecosystem of Liga 1 and Liga 2 which will be built with a centralized certainty of schedule and licensing

3. Regulations and competition formats that are determined more attractively, with the play-off system
