Jakarta –
Minister of Youth and Sports Dito Ariotedjo said the condition of the grass at the Bung Karno Stadium (GBK) was good after the Bung Karno Month Peak (BBK) event. The condition of GBK is said to be ready to hold a football match.
“No, no (damaged). Thank God, yesterday for Persija’s inaugural league 1 match against PSM yesterday it was rather crowded (on social media),” Dito told reporters at the Golkar DPP Office, Slipi, West Jakarta, Wednesday (28/6/ 2023).
He said that last night there had been mediation between the Indonesian League and GBK and PSSI. He ensured that on July 2 the match between Persija and PSM would still take place.
“But, since last night I have mediated between the New Indonesia League and the GBK directors and also PSSI, Alhamdulillah, at 10.00 this morning the fixed match was set for July 2 at the GBK Main Stadium,” said Dito.
He also said that the grass at GBK was good to use. “The grass is nice,” he said.
Previously, the Gelora Bung Karno Complex Management Center (PPK-GBK) clarified that the viral video of SUGBK grass, which was narrated, was badly damaged. PPK-GBK denied any damage.
Main Director of PPK-GBK Rakhmadi Afif Kusumo said that the video was taken after a non-sports event on Saturday (24/6/2023). He said that there was no damage and that measures to restore the grass for the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK) had also been carried out.
Afif regretted that the shooting of the video, and the narration that accompanied it, ultimately formed a negative opinion in society. He also shared with detikSport photos of the current condition of the SUGBK grass, which was indeed different from the one in the viral video.
“It wasn’t damaged. Because we used Grass Cover and we also immediately treated it. Previously, the organizers were also very responsible, cleaning everything, complete with additional cleaning staff and DLH DKI also support,” said Rakhmadi when contacted by detikSport, Wednesday (28/6).
“This (video) is still at night when it’s just finished, we haven’t even had treatment yet. It should be followed up until it’s finished now,” he added.
