JAKARTA -- PT Liga Indonesia Baru (LIB) believes the establishment of a Covid-19 Task Force at every Liga 1 and League 2 stadium can tighten the implementation of health protocols (prokes) during the league. The Covid-19 task force at each venue is tasked with directly supervising the implementation of health protocols in the field.

"They will also coordinate with the Covid-19 Task Force at the center," said LIB Operations Director who is also the Head of the Covid-19 Task Force League 1 and 2 Sudjarno in a written statement, Monday (26/7).

Thus, LIB hopes that the process can run strictly and indiscriminately. The LIB also reiterated that if Liga 1 and 2 were to be held, no spectators should be present in the stadium. The public is asked to watch the match from home and not make a crowd.

"Public support and commitment will be very decisive. If everyone is obedient and adheres to the implementation of the prokes in a strict and disciplined manner, the competition can roll on as we all hope," said Sudjarno.

At the end of June 2021, PSSI and LIB decided that the 2021/2022 Indonesian League 1 and 2 season, which was scheduled to start on 9 July, was postponed in accordance with instructions from the BNPB Covid-19 Handling Task Force.

The decision was taken because Covid-19 cases have increased significantly in Indonesia, especially on the islands of Java and Bali. The Indonesian League 1 season 2021/2022 is scheduled to start in mid-August. While League 2 is scheduled to take place from September.
