“All the players want to deliver an entertaining performance. There is no retirement for a football player. Maybe it does exist for the civil servant or public official, but for a football player, they become the legend,” he said.

“Moreover, perhaps so far Pekanbaru people are lack of entertainment. So the football legends will present their best performance to be the role model in Pekanbaru,” Bima who supported Indonesia national team since he was 19 added.

The head of this charity match’s committee, Edward Yasa, set the target for at least 20,000 spectators to fill Riau Main Stadium with 42,000 capacity. Moreover, the match is free of charge and they just need to pay as they wish in the entrance.

However, for the VIP spectators, the committee sent 120 invitations. “At least the seat price is Rp1 million and the result will be given to the earthquake victims in Lombok and Palu,” he said.

He also added that during the first half break, the committee will hold an auction of the Indonesia national team’s jersey.

“The donation will be announced after the match, and we will give it directly to the victims of the earthquake in Lombok and Palu,” he said.
