The Indonesian football stadium, where a stampede killed 133 people earlier this month, will be demolished and rebuilt, the country’s president said Tuesday.

As for the “Kanjuruhan Stadium in Malang, we are going to demolish it and restore it to FIFA standards with appropriate facilities to guarantee the safety of players and fans,” Joko Widodo told reporters after meeting with FIFA President Gianni Infantino. visiting Jakarta.

Person responsible for FIFA pledged on Tuesday to help transform Indonesian football to improve security following their meeting at the presidential palace.

“We are going to reform and transform football in the country,” said Infantino. Indonesia will host the U20 World Cup next year.

The balance of tragedy rose to 133 on Tuesday, following the death of a 33-year-old man who died from injuries sustained during the stampede.

The disaster, described by Infantino as “one of the darkest days for football”, killed more than 40 children. After Arema FC’s 3-2 loss to Persebaya Surabaya and two local teams, fans took to the field to express their dissatisfaction with the players and officials.

According to witnesses and video footage, the police tried to control the crowd by force, with batons, but this further pushed the fans onto the field.

The massive use of tear gas caused panic among the crowd, and the exits were inaccessible or too narrow, causing many fans to suffocate or be crushed to death.

Six people, including three police officers, were prosecuted, and the head of the regional police was transferred to another location. AFP
