Adjie Rustam Ramdja said<br>\non Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Adjie told a media briefing on Friday that the police had also<br>\nmade preparations to prevent supporters from invading the pitch<br>\n-- a common occurrence at domestic football matches.<\/p>\n<p>\"We assure the public that there will be no spectators on the<br>\npitch. We will deploy officers to secure the area. People with no<br>\nparticular interest will not be able to enter the area. Security<br>\nofficers and organizers have all agreed on this scheme.\"<\/p>\n<p>Adjie said that police were also being deployed to guard the<br>\nticket booths.<\/p>\n<p>The foreign teams -- Chinese Taipei, Iraq and Myanmar -- will<br>\nbe escorted from Soekarno-Hatta international airport when they<br>\narrive on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>\"We will guard them on the way to and from the airport and<br>\nduring their stay in Jakarta.\"<\/p>\n<p>He said security during the tournament would rely mostly on<br>\nthe public's awareness of the rules of the game.<\/p>\n<p>\"I hope that all people will understand the rules of the<br>\ngame.\"<\/p>\n<p>\"I can not assure that 1,000 officers are enough to secure the<br>\ntournament. If 20,000 spectators refuse to behave themselves, we<br>\nwill have big problems.\"<\/p>\n<p>\"But I'm sure that the spectators are more polite now.<br>\nBesides, the competitors are mostly foreigners so I think there<br>\nwill not be many fanatical supporters, except the Indonesians,\"<br>\nhe said.<\/p>\n<p>Chairman of the tournament organizing committee, Ismet D.<br>\nTahir, said that four countries, including Australia, South Korea<br>\nand the United States, had turned down offers to play in the<br>\nevent, which is being staged again after a 15-year gap.<\/p>\n<p>\"The countries have their own competition agendas. This is a<br>\nvaluable lesson for us. Next time we should invite countries for<br>\nthe Independence Cup 10 months before the event at the latest,\"<br>\nhe said. (ivy)<\/p>",
