During the recent match between the Indonesian national football team and the Philippines, a video showing the poor condition of the playing field at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium (SUGBK) has sparked outrage among supporters.
In the video, the grass on the field appears patchy and uneven, making it difficult for players to maintain their balance and control the ball. This has led to concerns about the safety of the players and the quality of the game being played.
Supporters have expressed their disappointment and frustration at the state of the playing field, with many calling for better maintenance and care of the grass at the iconic stadium. Some have even gone as far as to blame the poor performance of the Indonesian national team on the condition of the field.
In response to the video, officials from the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium have stated that they are aware of the issues with the grass and are working to address them. They have assured supporters that steps are being taken to improve the playing surface and ensure that it meets international standards.
Despite the challenges posed by the poor condition of the field, the Indonesian national team managed to secure a 2-0 victory over the Philippines in the match. However, the video has highlighted the importance of maintaining proper playing surfaces for athletes to perform at their best.
As the Indonesian national team continues its journey in international competitions, it is crucial that the playing fields at stadiums like SUGBK are kept in top condition. This not only ensures the safety of the players but also enhances the overall quality of the game being played.
Moving forward, it is hoped that officials will take the necessary steps to improve the condition of the playing field at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium and ensure that it is a suitable and safe environment for athletes to showcase their skills. Only then can Indonesian football truly thrive and reach its full potential on the international stage.
