That way, the community plays a big role in maintaining the moment of the rise of Indonesian football

BRI Main Director Sunarso revealed that the role of the community and football fans in organizing this event was very important in the success of this activity, so that it could provide optimal social and economic impact. “The implementation of BRI Liga1 has a very significant impact on MSME actors and other related stakeholders, because with the ongoing competition it will increase income and revive the people’s economic chain,” said Sunarso.

As is well known, Sunarso at the BRI Liga 1 Press Conference (26/6) revealed that BRI Liga 1 had a big impact from an economic standpoint. According to a 2020 survey from the University of Indonesia’s LPEM, the economic turnover of the Liga 1 competition is projected to create a turnover of between IDR 2.7 and IDR 3 trillion in one year.

However, based on the results of the latest research conducted by the BRI Research Institute in June 2023, the implementation of the BRI League 1 has the potential to create a greater velocity of money (economic output) for the Indonesian economy, reaching around IDR 9 trillion.

“From this money circulation, an economic added value (GDP) of IDR 4.8 trillion can be created, additional household income for workers of IDR 1.8 trillion, potential indirect tax revenue for the government of IDR 721 billion, and around 44,000 job opportunities created. Sunarso added.

This means that the BRI League 1 competition for the 2023-2024 season will have a positive economic impact on key stakeholders to revive the people’s economic chain and increase the income of MSME players.

Apart from the economic aspect, BRI hopes that the running of the BRI Liga 1 competition can have a positive impact on the climate of the national football competition, so that this league can produce talented young talents who will drive the achievements of Indonesian football on the global stage.

“BRI is ready to be part of this transformation and create history in bringing Indonesian football to shine on the world stage,” concluded Sunarso.
