Indonesia is the world’s fourth largest country by population, and the largest in which football is the most popular sport – but despite the country’s passion for the sport, they are perennial underachievers.
There is also a dark side to Indonesia’s fanaticism for football, which has tainted the Indonesian Liga 1 and the nation’s soccer for the last 30 years.
Four months on from the Kanjuruhan Stadium disaster, HITC Sevens takes a look at the most dangerous country on Earth to be a football fan, why things are the way they are, and whether it’s ever likely to be fixed.
In Indonesia, there are indeed many who like football, but most are too intent and passionate to support their favorite club, so they feel that they have control, so they become extreme supporters, in my opinion.
I hope that Indonesian football from all aspects can get even better so that it won't be labeled as bad, keep up the spirit.
hello from tasikmalaya city,
all facts
Sebagai warga Indonesia, malu saya cuk
Mentions their country … they would be pround even whatever reason u said…
If you only just talk about history of PSSI, you can see why our football culture is so broken
A brilliant episode. Corruption at all levels which explains why FIFA feel so at home. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together.
Memang beda di Indonesia, disini nyawa manusia tidak se berharga fanatisme sepak bola,
Worth mentioning that for a while at least, Persib Bandung versus Persija Jakarta games were held in Bali. In most cases it would seem a little excessive to make two teams from Java play on a completely different island, but given the fans' penchant for killing each other, it sadly made a lot of sense.
The way he'd said "indonesia is full of conflict" really gives me a glimpse of how so many Asian and African countries especially mid eastern countries reputation are broken by the media's word. Indonesia is one of if not the most peaceful country you'll ever know. I don't even know what exactly a conflict is based how peaceful we are. Ofc problem exist every country had problems. But the league football in indonesia are untalkable.
Well done on your research, excellent video
No mention of Japanese atrocities in Indonesia during WWII. Why was this omitted, when every colonial or nationalistic detriment is covered in some detail?
They have this violence for the sake of football, yet can't win a cup😂😂
Great research as always.
Reminds of Argentina in the 90s were even people were firing guns and smashing up stadiums weekly
Another great video. The more i see and hear of that smug infantino. I wish someone would give him a good kicking.
I’ve followed Indonesia Philippines Thai and Malaysia leagues for over 10 years now the indo and Malay fans have so much passion
Indonesia mendonia 🤣🤣
The only thing i disaggree abt this vid is the fact that u said our country is shaped by violence by referring to the colonial times.
This couldn't be further from the truth cuz most Kingdoms n Empires that formed in the Nusantara Archipelago mostly had a trade-centric culture n mostly "conquer" their land by trade n diplomacy which is possibly one of the biggest factor to why the Dutch so easily colonize the Archipelago only second to decentralization.
However i do recognise the fact that we fought against each other WAAAAY more than we fought against a common foreign threat like how this video discuss it which tbh made feel disgusted towards some of my own fellow citizen
Channel ini channel yg hanya melihat sisi buruknya dari Indonesia… Harus di report nihh channel .. menceritakan hal2 buruk tanpa ada hal baik
Since the Kanjuruhan tragedy still almost not a f***ing thing has been changed! Security inside and outside the stadium is still shit!
Salam dari Den Haag, Ned
