Arema Management Is Ready to Welcome Bonek at Kanjuruhan

DBasia.news – The incident of Persib Bandung and Persija Jakarta was a great lesson for Arema. Apparently, Arema FC management is ready to welcome Persebaya Surabaya supporters, Bonek, the great rival, at Kanjuruhan Stadium. Arema FC general manager Ruddy Widodo declared it.

This is the solution to prevent violence in football. One of the ways is by welcoming the away supporter, including in the rivalry match.

“We will try. We have discussed it with the police. According to the regulation, it’s 5 percent. Perhaps this match will be the example, it’s 2,5 percent, around 50 people that we will secure.”

“Arema FC are ready. Whether it’s Bonek or not, most importantly that the host get the access,” Ruddy Widodo said

Giving access to the away supporter is conducted to erase the bad image of a rivalry match. By doing this, the police would not only focus on only one supporter.

“Our suggestion in the Minister of Youth and Sport Affairs, to prevent the similar case, there should be an innovation. One of them is by giving access to the away team in a crucial match. With no access, the match won’t be emergency,” Madura United manager and spokesperson of Club 1 clubs Haruna Soemitro explained.

“For example, Persija against Persib and conversely. When one team bring no supporter, the safety will only to one side.”
