Indonesia U19s Face Myanmar Double
Indonesia's U19s continue their tiring preparations for the AFC U19 Championshios later this year with a couple of friendlies against Myanmar.
The games will be played at Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta on 5 and 7 May. The second game will be played behind closed doors...considering the cost of hiring the 88,000 capacity stadium, surely better, and cheaper, to use a smaller stadium in the city?
But will people turn up for the game on 5 May? The PSSI have cranked up the prices for a friendly match featuring the national U19 team...
Category 3 - Rp 50,000
Category 2 - Rp 100,000
Category 1 - Rp 200,000
VIP East - Rp 250,000
VIP West - Rp 500,000
VVIP - Rp 1,000,000
*1 USD = Rp11,500 approx
In other national team news, the PSSI have announced, in their wisdom, Indonesia's U23s will play Dominican Republic in Solo on 15 May, the full international team. This is because Indonesia play ASEAN All Stars and obviously that must be the priority...I guess. Or not. As the case may be. Or may not.
