Raw Return Group division

JAKARTA - geographical factor is not the only consideration grouping territorial division soccer competition Liga 2009-2010. PT Liga Indonesia (PT LI) would instead focus on the business of maximizing the number of spectators in the stadium.

Understandably, last season the number of spectators in the stadium were considered less maximal. "The clubs in the Liga small area and has a limited mass.

In the list of participants Liga, real PT LI did not bother to share the region if based on the geographical game. Among the 36 clubs, participants are categorized into three groups. Each group occupied 12 teams. Incidentally, geographically clubs in Sumatra amounted to 12 if the PS remains a participant Banyuasin Liga. Group II filled the clubs in the province of Central Java, Banten up. While group III filled clubs in East Java as Persibo Bojonegoro to the club in the eastern region.

On the other hand, PT LI hoped that the clubs ready to level up Indonesia Super League (ISL). "Because, in a geographic ISL is not considered," said Joko. However, competition for the contestants second caste football ground water was not too surprised, it really does not randomize the distribution of the club.

"For example, it is impossible Persidafon Dafonsoro club joined the group in Sumatra. Or, conversely, the clubs in northern Sumatra was with the clubs of East Java," explained he.

However, until yesterday, Joko could not meet managers to ensure implementation. He simply stated that the kickoff would Liga back until November. In the simulation PT LI, real time later on 18 November. However, at that time, Kuwait in Indonesia entertain Main Stadium Bung Karno (SUGBK), Senayan, Jakarta. The solution, PT LI considering the implementation kickoff time between 17 or 25 November. (vem / diq)
