JAKARTA - PSSI asked the spectators of the FIFA Match Day match between Indonesia and Argentina which will be played Monday (19/6) tomorrow, to enter the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (GBK) directly and not to tour the outside area. "For those who come tomorrow and already have bracelets, go straight inside (the stadium). Don't go around outside anymore. It's a habit that we haven't entered yet, it's because the door will be opened early," said PSSI Deputy General Chair Zainudin Amali, quoted from Antara, Sunday. Initially, Indonesia's match against Argentina will be held at 19.30 WIB. At around 17.00 WIB, the doors of the GBK Main Stadium have been opened for spectators to enter. In the last match the Argentine national team played in China against Australia a few days ago, the arrival and welcoming for them looked less than optimal. Starting from the immigration process at the airport in China, the increasing number of fans who wanted to meet the players at the hotel where they were staying, to the presence of fans who managed to enter the field during the match was played. Related to this, Zainudin said that so far the Argentine national team was satisfied with the remarks given by Indonesia as the host of the friendly match.

"I think the previous FIFA Match Day match, what the Argentine national team did is a lesson for us. And God willing, it's good, like for example I gave an example pick-up at the airport. They didn't long queue, from plane to bus, were then accepted by the General Chair and Exco (Executive Committee), after that they went straight to the hotel," added the former Minister of Youth and Sports. The Argentine national team was also called by Zainudin asking that they not get much distraction outside of football affairs. Therefore, various activities carried out by the team nicknamed Albiceleste in the country are almost all closed.

"We know they are ranked first in the world, that's why they maintain quality. They can't even be disturbed at the hotel and even interviewed. We are here to maintain their commitment. They come here to play football," said Zainudin. This is the world number one against 149 in the world," he joked a little.
