FIFA Decides Indonesia VS Bahrain National Team in Jakarta

HOLIDAY NEWS - FIFA has decided that the Indonesian national team's match against Bahrain will still take place in Jakarta. The Minister of Youth and Sports, Dito Ariotedjo, said this assurance at the State Palace, Jakarta, on Monday, October 21 2024.

Previously, the Bahrain Football Association or BFA, proposed moving the location of the match between the Indonesian national team and Bahrain to a neutral location. The reason is, they received threats.

The reason the Bahrain football association refused to play in Indonesia was because it received many threats and cyber attacks on social media, after the match between the two countries, because referee Ahmed Al Kaf gave too long extra time, namely from 90+6 minutes to 90+9 minutes.

As a result of excessive extra time, Bahrain was able to add a goal and the match ended with a score of 2-2.

"FIFA has also asked that matches remain in Indonesia, they must be in Indonesia," said Minister of Youth and Sports, Dito Ariotedjo, Monday, October 21 2024.
