Jadwal Timnas Indonesia usai Kalah Vs Irak: Ditunggu Filipina dan FIFA Match Day
SEAToday.com, Jakarta - Timnas Indonesia masih perlu menghadapi Filipina untuk laga keenam Kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2026 Grup F Zona Asia pada Selasa (11/6/2024) di Stadion Utama Gelora Bung Karno (SUGBK).
Namun, Ketua Umum PSSI Erick Thohir mengatakan jika timnas akan menggelar pertandingan FIFA Matchday Agustus mendatang di Surabaya.
Erick menjelaskan jika perpindahan ini dilakukan karena agenda kunjungan kenegaraan Paus Fransiskus ke Indonesia pada 3-6 September 2024.
"Izin bulan Agustus kita tidak main di GBK karena ada kedatangan tamu negara, Paus (Fransiskus). Jadi kita akan bermain di Surabaya," kata Erick saat melakukan tinjau stadion di SUGBK, Rabu (5/6/2024).
Lebih lanjut, Erick mengatakan agar perpindahan ini tidak menimbulkan polemik. Menteri BUMN itu juga mengatakan jika tim PSSI telah berkoordinasi dengan pihak di Surabaya untuk menyiapkan stadion disana.
Namun, Erick juga tidak menampik kemungkinan untuk mencari lokasi lain jika stadion di Surabaya tidak bisa digunakan.
"Kita sudah minta tim PSSI untuk di Surabaya persiapannya, kalau tidak bisa kita cari lagi kota lainnya," jelasnya.
Erick menuntaskan jika saat ini Indonesia telah merampungkan renovasi pada 22 stadion dan delapan di antaranya sudah melalui peninjauan FIFA.
Hal tersebut seharusnya dapat memberikan fleksibilitas lebih bagi PSSI untuk menentukan venue pertandingan Timnas Indonesia.
