Jakarta –
PT Liga Indonesia Baru (LIB) express reason Liga 1 2022 implementing a nighttime kick-off. Several clubs have complained about this, one of them Persib Bandung.
From the schedule released by PT LIB, the schedule for the evening match will be held at 20.30 WIB. Judging from the draft of the League 1 schedule, Persib got to play at night so they protested and made adjustments.
President Director of PT LIB revealed Akhmad Hadian Lukita the implementation of the curfew was inseparable from discussions with broadcaster. Playing at night is the most ideal time to hold a match in terms of attracting spectators.

“Can not be denied broadcaster role. But we also get authentic data, if the audience at night is more. At that time, the audience had arrived at the house. This is also the development of the times,” said Lukita, in his office, Wednesday (13/7/2022).
“It’s now at that time when we get home from work. But we’re not going to be quiet either, we’ve asked for a compromise, don’t play too often at night. If you want to be followed by all (broadcaster’s requests) then play at 11 pm,” he added.
Apart from Persib, Persija Jakarta also became one of the most played curfew. Status as a big club is also a consideration broadcaster set the night time.
The Indonesian Professional Footballers Association (APPI) also voiced the campaign against playing curfew. Lukita explained, the curfew applied in Liga 1 was still in a reasonable stage.
“This is still normal, even though it’s normal not justifying. There are clubs that we accommodate (object to playing at night). We often change schedules, as happened last season,” said Lukita.
“We can’t deny that Persija or Persib have a lot of spectators playing at night. In fact, there are also those who play in the afternoon, the club even asks to play at night,” he said.
