TEMPO.CO, Surabaya - The organizing committee of Persipura Jayapura matches will sterilize the standing section of Mandala Stadium in the opener of Torabika Soccer Championship (TSC) which will pit Persipura against Persija Jakarta Friday evening.
The organizing committee chief Fachruddin Pasolo in Jayapura on Friday said the areas to be used are only Liverpool area, right and left VIP areas and VVIP area.
“The tickets for Liverpool [area] seats are free thanks to Persipura management, while 1,000 VIP tickets will be sold at Rp100,000 to Rp200,000,” he said.
According to Fachruddin, VVIP seats are specifically designated for President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo and his entourage including the guests and the secret service.
“It’s in the domain of state security measures, so we will just follow the procedures,” he said.
He said that he has combined both TSC regulations and state security measures, meaning that the National Armed Forces and the Police will join in.
“The kick off will be at 10 p.m., PLN [state-owned electricity company] is ready to support the entire power network,” he went on.
He added that Mandala Stadium Jayapura will be immediately closed after the tickets are sold out, based on state security measures.
“To facilitate the spectators who fail to get the ticket, we will set up big screens at Imbi Park Jayapura and Abepura for the game screening event,” he said.
