JAKARTA - The 2020 League 1 competition has been postponed until 2021. This is because the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) and PT Liga Indonesia Baru (LIB) have also not received permission from the police.
This decision disappointed Madura United's management. This is because Laskar Sape Kerrap has prepared itself by doing exercises. However, the competition was postponed again.
Madura United management actually predicted this. They have also warned that competition cannot take place in the midst of a pandemic.
The President of Madura United, Achsanul Qosasi stated, it would be better if the League 1 competition was stopped. Then, PSSI and PT LIB will start a new competition next year.
"Actually, Madura United's stance was clear from the start, not supporting the competition to continue. However, we are still sporting in following the joint decision to continue," said Achsanul.
The same attitude was shown by the management of PSIS Semarang. The CEO of PSIS, Yoyok Sukawi, said that his party had conveyed the difficulty of navigating the competition in the midst of a pandemic.
Yoyok tries to take the positive side of this delay. According to the PSIS boss, now is the right time to jointly tackle the COVID-19 pandemic.
"So that the competition in the future will be much better and much more ready when it is played again," said Yoyok.
