For this reason, @PSSI coordinated with the Ministry of Youth and Sport, took the initiative to hold a celebration in welcoming the return of Garuda Muda Indonesia. You are invited to come and enliven,” said PSSI Chairman Erick Thohir on Instagram.

Because the procession took place on weekdays and in the morning, Erick Thohir also did not forget to apologize to the people around Senayan and Sudirman who might be affected by the procession.

“Previously, I would like to thank you for the enthusiasm of all football lovers. I’m sorry if this event caused a crowd so traffic engineering was implemented by the authorities,” said Erick.

Exco PSSI Arya Sinulingga said the aim and purpose of this event was to honor the players and teams who had won the 2023 SEA Games gold medal in Cambodia.

“This is a gold medal that has been waiting for a long time, which is 32 years. After we last won it at the SEA Games Manila, Philippines in 1991,” said Arya in an official statement, quoted Thursday (18/5/2023).
