Deputy Chair of the Organizing Committee (OC) for the 2025 President's Cup Fanny Riawan visited the Si Jalak Harupat Stadium, Bandung Regency, to review the stadium's readiness ahead of the President's Cup pre-season tournament to be held on July 6-14.
"If assessed on a scale of 1 to 10, we see that there have been major changes and it deserves a score of 8. As time goes by towards implementation, it will certainly become more mature," said Fanny in Bandung.
Fanny emphasized that the main aspect of focus is the condition of the field at Si Jalak Harupat Stadium which must meet FIFA standards.
"As befits a football spectacle, the most important thing is the field. Drainage must be optimal, especially during rain, so that water is quickly absorbed," he said.
In addition to the field, supporting facilities such as the players' changing rooms are also a concern. According to him, these facilities must meet standards, at least like when Indonesia hosted the U-17 World Cup last year.
To support the smooth running of the tournament, the President's Cup OC has also prepared accommodation for players, officials, and match equipment. Some of the hotels that will be used include the Pullman Hotel, Crown Hotel, and Hilton Hotel.
