"It is stable, there is no decline, just like what they explained to us before getting permission," said the Menpora.

Zainudin said the government appreciated the pre-season tournament activities. Towards the end of the Menpora Cup, he wants to ensure that the health protocol will be carried out properly.

"There is still a second leg left in the Solo semifinals and the final organizing, this proves that we can because there is a commitment from all club organizers and supporters to keep watching at home," said Zainudin.

Zainudin hopes that with the success of the Menporam Cup, the opportunities for Liga 1 will be more open. For this reason, he continues to ask for the cooperation of all football stakeholders to keep his commitments.

"If we pass here, we hope that there will be permission for the League 1 and League 2 competitions in 2021/2022, God willing, there will be, so we must take good care of the rest of this pre-season," said the Menpora.
