Indonesia Football Faces Pivotal Moment After Kanjuruhan Disaster

The deadly stampede in Malang, East Java stadium has shaken the foundations of the
country's most popular sport and was the culmination of decades of mismanagement and
violence, experts say. The tragedy a week ago that killed 131 people, including 32 children, in
the aftermath of a top-tier match has forced officials and fans to confront failings in every
aspect of the game in the country. Experts on Indonesia football speak of shaky infrastructure,
mismanagement, hours-long waits to leave outdated stadiums and the potential for heated
passions to descend into violence that has killed scores since the 1990s. "This is a wake-up
call, one that has cost us greatly," Indonesian football commentator Mohamad Kusnaeni told
AFP. President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo visited the site of the tragedy on Wednesday, ordering
an audit of all stadia and pointing to the country's 78,000-seater national stadium in Jakarta as
the standard he expects across the 18-team league. The gates at the 42,000-capacity Kanjuruhan
stadium in East Java's Malang were big enough to fit only two people at a time and some were
not open on time, officials said. "You could see and sense that something bad could potentially
happen," Indonesian football pundit Pangeran Siahaan told AFP. "There's a lot of dangers every
time you go into a football stadium in Indonesia." Many stadiums in Indonesia have not met
international standards for hosting sports events, said Kusnaeni. Some do not have single
seating but instead benches that allow more people to stand and crowd together, while making
it harder for security to spot a threatening incident before it happens. Jokowi said the seated
Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta allowed all spectators to exit safely within 15 minutes,
and all stadiums should be brought in line. "We must learn from it. Minor punishments have
made negligence in the football scene repeatedly happen," said Akmal Marhali, coordinator of
football watchdog Save Our Soccer and member of the fact-finding task force investigating the
disaster. "There must be progressive change and steps that turn the page." Stricter measures
such as banning clubs from Indonesia's football association, or PSSI, could help ensure better
security and fan conduct. (366 Words).

After the Kanjurhan Tragedy, Indonesian Football Takes an Important Turn
Experts say that Indonesian football is going through a critical period after the tragedy
of the Kanjurhan stadium riot in Malang, East Java, which shook the foundations of Indonesian
football. Kanjurhan Stadium has a capacity of 42,000 and during the tragedy, some of the
stadium gates did not open on time. The deadly incident that claimed many lives, became an
important moment for supporters and officials who had to face the failure of several aspects of
Indonesian football. President Jokowi Widodo visited the site of the tragedy on Wednesday
and ordered an audit of all stadiums, citing the 78,000-seat Jakarta National Stadium as the
expected benchmark in the 18-team league. Jokowi said all spectators at the Gelora Bung Karno
Stadium in Jakarta should be able to leave the stadium safely within 15 minutes. The response
of Mohammad Kusunaini, Indonesian football commentator to AFP to this incident is a
warning that will be very detrimental to many parties. Indonesian football expert says It speaks
of the instability of infrastructure, poor management, long waits to get out of stadiums, and
how the passion that has killed so many people since the 1990s can turn violent. There are
many dangers lurking in every Indonesian football stadium. "Many stadiums in Indonesia do
not meet international standards for organizing sporting events," said Kusnaeni. Instead of
having individual seats, some have benches where more people can stand and gather together,
making security harder to deal with in the event of an incident. Gradual changes are needed.
Lighter penalties have repeatedly led to negligence in football, we must learn from this tragedy,
said football regulation coordinator Akumal Malhari. Stricter measures, such as PSSI's club
ban, could help improve fan safety and behavior. (296 Words).
