United for the Title, Jakarta Residents Called to Back Timnas Tonight!

Jakarta Legislative Council Chairman Suhud Alynudin has called on all Jakartans to unite in prayer and full support for Team Indonesia ahead of their high-stakes title clash against Thailand on Monday night (10/5).

Indonesia is taking home the trophy!

Suhud shared the message amidst his busy schedule at Jakarta City Hall, noting that football transcends the pitch by bringing the nation together and strengthening community bonds.

"We need that exact same energy—grit, teamwork, and relentless determination, just like our national team proves on the field," he expressed.

He also urged residents watching the match live at the stadium or attending public viewing events to maintain public order and safety.

He hoped that Jakarta can set an example as a cohesive, safe city that upholds high standards of sportsmanship.

"Tonight's final stands as proof that through the collaboration of diaspora players, local athlete development, and extraordinary fan support, Indonesia can emerge victorious," he stated.

Suhud noted that this spirit of unity is equally relevant to Jakarta's pursuit of global city status.

"Just like Jakarta, if we stand united, we can truly become a world-class global city. I'm fully confident that Indonesia will emerge victorious. Let’s enjoy the watch parties peacefully, whether at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium or within our own neighborhoods. Let's keep Jakarta safe and orderly," he concluded.

He also underscored that the legislative is doubling down on grassroots athlete development through the city budget (APBD), ensuring the city continues to forge top-tier talent for the national squad.

"Insya Allah (God willing), Indonesia is taking home the trophy!," he closed.
