Speaking alongside with Gianni Infantino, the Fifa president, Indonesia’s President Joko Widodo or Jokowi says, “For Kanjuruhan stadium in Malang, we will demolish and rebuild it according to Fifa standards.”
The head of Fifa also pledged to help “reform and transform” the sport in the country, adding that football is very popular in Indonesia. “What I can guarantee to all the people of Indonesia: Fifa is here with you, Fifa is here to stay,” he says.
More than 40 children were among those killed in the city of Malang, East Java on October 1, in what Infantino described as “one of the darkest days for football”.
