Or maybe not
Despite the FA confirming the Liga Final would take place at Jalak Harupat Stadium tomorrow, Sunday 10th February, I understand all is not cut and dried.
One of today's newspapers is reporting local police have yet to give their permission for the game to go ahead while a media contact texted me last night saying Bandung didn't want the game.
All this confusion means fans wanting to travel from Sumatra for the game are unwilling to do so because they have no idea where to go! If the final does go ahead this weekend expect a few ball boys and a few neutrals on the terraces. For Indonesia football's showpiece event.
Football is rapidly becoming a hot potato that nobody wants to touch and as I write this morning TV shows are debating the troubles that surround the game in great depth.
So where now for Indonesian football?
