Amali said, if there are spectators who are not orderly, let alone do it pitch invader or infiltrating the field in the middle of the Indonesia vs Argentina match, then those supporters will be subject to sanctions.

“Definitely (sanctions against fans). The police already know what to do and I think yesterday we have proven that at Gelora Bung Tomo (Indonesia vs Palestine) the security was very good,” said Amali to the media crew, Sunday (18/6/ 2023).

Pitch invaders itself had happened before Argentina left for Indonesia. To be precise, when the Tango team beat Australia 2-0 in China in the FIFA Matchday match in the middle of this week.

At that time, a fan entered the field in the middle of the match to approach the Argentina captain, Lionel Messi.

A number of Agentina national team players have light training at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, Jakarta, Sunday 18 June 2023.

The match against Indonesia is a series of the Asian Tour undertaken by Argentina on the FIFA Matchday this June.

Amali appealed, when hosting a sporting event, the Indonesian people must be orderly and welcome the visiting team properly. If the behavior is not good, then the impression of Indonesia in the eyes of the world can be bad

“We urge, we become the host. If it’s bad, this will be discussed by the world. People won’t want to go to Indonesia. That’s what we have to protect, hospitality or our attitude of hospitality must be good so that they are impressed,” said Amali.

In the Indonesia vs Argentina match, 5,596 joint teams from the police and stewards to do security. Amali is sure, incident pitch invader when the Argentina vs Australia match will not take place in Indonesia.

“I’ll just give an example of what made them (Argentina) uncomfortable when they arrived, entered the full hotels (in China). We’ve done good security, especially that one (pitch invader, red),” said Amali.
