Arema FC ensures that it will continue to undergo training in the middle of Ramadan 1444 Hijri fasting month. A special program has also been prepared by the Singo Edan coaching team.

Arema FC coach, Joko Susilo said there needed to be adjustments in team training. The reason is, most of his foster children undergo fasting.

The Arema FC coaching team also plans to hold training at night while still considering the player's rest time during Ramadan. Even so, Joko explained that his team did not rule out training in the afternoon.

"We hope to have night training but if we can't, then practice in the afternoon because it's not easy to find a nightly field here with permission. Especially when breaking the fast," said Joko.

"We practice too late and it's not good for the players to rest, that's what we consider. It's possible that we practice the afternoon while looking for alternatives after sunset," he continued.

The coach who is often called Gethuk continued, he has no problem with the busy schedule that Arema FC will do during the fasting month. According to him, the three-day distance between matches is normal.

The former coach of Persik Kediri estimates that the Singo Edan squad will receive ideal preparations. "Normal because this is a session of 3-4 days of match distance, so it's normal," concluded Joko, as quoted from Antara, Thursday, March 23.

Arema FC will play the postponed 18th week League match against Borneo FC at the PTIK Stadium, Jakarta, Friday, March 24. After facing Borneo FC, the Singo Edan squad will host Bali United in the 21st week postponed match at the same stadium, Monday, March 27.
