Oh Persija!
Last season Persija's title bid fizzled out thanks to being forced to play their home games outside of Jakarta. And now, with a strong sense of deja vu, it looks like history repeating itself.
Persija it seems don't have enough to money to hire Bung Karno Stadium so they had hoped to use the much smaller Lebak Bulus for Sunday's game against Persebaya. But now comes news that permission to hold the game in South Jakarta by security officials has been denied.
Meaning Persija's first home game of the season is up in the air.
If they can't even organise a venue for one of the biggest teams in the country it makes you wonder how they can expect to organise a World Cup dunnit?
