Surabaya Mayor Hopes Indonesian National Team Will Face Japan at Gelora Bung Tomo
The Indonesian national team will not play at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium in September. The reason is, the venue will be used to welcome state guest the Pope.
We (the Indonesian National Team) are not playing at GBK (Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium) because the state guest, the Pope, is coming,” said the Chairman of the Indonesian Sports Association (PSSI) Erick Thohir.
The world's highest Catholic leader, Pope Francis, is scheduled to visit Indonesia on September 3, 2024, so the government is making various preparations to support the visit's agenda.
“So this should not become a polemic, because those visiting are state guests, world figures, so we must understand, so we (the Indonesian national team) are playing in Surabaya,” he added.
