Dunhill League competition

Dunhill League competition

From Merdeka

It is interesting to follow reports on the preparations of the football teams which are eager to participate in Dunhill League Tournament. But why is it called "Dunhill League" instead of "Indonesian League?"

OK, that's none of my business. It is the business of the sponsor and the All Indonesia Football Association. Bravo Dunhill. And I thank the association for its readiness to open its door to foreign players. I hope my favorite player Fandi Achmad will want to return to Indonesia to join one of the Galatama clubs.

Dunhill League must ensure that fair play is persistently honored. Foul play will damage the image of the tournament. Referees must be impartial. Professionalism must be reflected in the Dunhill League Competition that the achievement and prestige of the athletes could be correctly assessed. Brutal and unruly players must be kicked out. By maintaining fairness and sportsmanship, I hope Indonesian football will regain popularity.
