Liga Dunhill

Liga Dunhill

From Bisnis Indonesia

I was surprised to read Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports Hayono Isman's statement that it is quite probable the Liga Dunhill tournament will be stopped if it continues to claim victims in a match disturbance.

As an official who holds the highest authority in sports matters in this country, the minister should support the Liga Dunhill competition because from this event we can net soccer players of international caliber.

The fact that there was a victim during a brawl taking place during a soccer match was an excess. It must not stop the tournament. I strongly believe that Indonesian football fans will be quite upset if the tournament is stopped.

I appeal to the management of the Indonesian Soccer Association to do everything right to minimize disturbances during a soccer match.
