The CITY of BANDUNG - PT Liga Indonesia Baru (LIB) stated that it is ready to conduct a thorough evaluation of the implementation of the League 1 competition for next season, especially in terms of security and audience supervision.
President Director of PT LIB Ferry Paulus conveyed this after the flare incident and the decline of supporters during the final match of Liga 1 between Persib Bandung and Persis Solo at the Gelora Bandung Lautan Api Stadium (GBLA).
"Unfortunately, it is a little tainted, meaning that many supporters have taken to the field. This is a note for us so that next season we can be better prepared to prepare for what happened today," said Ferry in Bandung, Saturday.
Ferry said the security aspect was a major concern in the evaluation, especially to prevent spectators from bringing firecrackers and flares into the stadium.

He admitted that the current security system still needs to be strengthened even though inspections and supervision have been carried out strictly.
"Yesterday we were sweeping, checking the body, there were even three layers of security. But I'm also confused about how to sweep again so it's not like now," he said.
Meanwhile, PSSI Chairman Erick Thohir emphasized that PSSI continues to improve in the implementation of the League 1 competition so that there will be no more flares brought by supporters in every match.
"But that's the audience's interest that cannot be dammed. I hope that in the future all clubs will have to be even better in organizing matches and the league will also make improvements," he said.
Furthermore, he said that currently the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) is also conducting direct monitoring of the competition in Indonesia, including LIB for the last two years.
He admits that there is still a lot that needs to be addressed so that Indonesia is ready to hold international matches.
"Yes, maybe it's judged alone. Are we ready or not? Ready with conditions like this ready? So, FIFA came to see itself, came to various matches, yes, the reality is we are not ready yet," he said.
