Indonesian President Joko Widodo says his government will demolish and rebuild a football stadium where 133 people died in the world’s deadliest sports stampede this month.

The President, popularly known as Jokowi, made the announcement on Tuesday while addressing journalists at the State Palace in Jakarta after meeting with Gianni Infantino, head of world football’s governing body FIFA.

“Kanjuruhan Stadium in Malang … we will demolish it and rebuild it according to FIFA standards,” Jokowi said. “We are ready to completely transform Indonesian football”

On October 1, after Persebaya Surabaya beat home team Arema FC, fans went on a deadly rampage as they tried to leave the Kanjuruhan Stadium in the city of Malang, East Java province. Many people, including more than 40 minors, died of suffocation on this occasion.

After an investigation, officials in a report published last week concluded that the main reason behind the incident was the use of tear gas by the police inside the stadium. This is a crowd control measure banned by FIFA. The deaths were reportedly caused by asphyxiating gas as panicked spectators rushed to the exits.

තෙරපීමකින් 133 මියගිය Malang ක්‍රීඩාංගනය කඩා ඉවත් කෙරේ

ඉන්දුනීසියානු ජනාධිපති ජෝකෝ විඩෝඩෝ පවසන්නේ, මෙම මාසයේ දී ලෝකයේ මාරාන්තික ක්‍රීඩා ව්‍යසයක් වන තෙරපීමකින් පුද්ගලයන් 133 දෙනෙකු මිය ගිය පාපන්දු ක්‍රීඩාංගනයක් තම රජය විසින් කඩා දමා නැවත ගොඩනඟන බවයි.

Jokowi ලෙසින් ප්‍රචලිත ජනාධිපතිවරයා, ලෝක පාපන්දු පාලක මණ්ඩලයේ FIFA හි ප්‍රධානියා Gianni Infantino හමුවීමෙන් පසු ජකර්තා හි රාජ්‍ය මාලිගයේදී මාධ්‍යවේදීන් අමතමින් අඟහරුවාදා මේ බව ප්‍රකාශ කළේය.

“Malang හි කන්ජුරුහාන් ක්‍රීඩාංගනය … අපි එය කඩා ඉවත් කර FIFA ප්‍රමිතීන්ට අනුව නැවත ගොඩනඟමු,” Jokowi පැවසීය. “අපි ඉන්දුනීසියානු පාපන්දු සම්පූර්ණයෙන්ම පරිවර්තනය කිරීම සූදානම්”

ඔක්තෝම්බර් 1 වෙනිදා, Persebaya Surabaya විසින් ස්වදේශීය කණ්ඩායම වන Arema FC පරාජය කිරීමෙන් පසු, නැගෙනහිර ජාවා පළාතේ Malang නගරයේ කන්ජුරුහාන් ක්‍රීඩාංගණයෙන් පිටවීමට උත්සාහ කරන විට, ක්‍රීඩා ලෝලීන් මාරාන්තික කෝපයකට පසු විය. බාලවයස්කරුවන් 40කට වැඩි පිරිසක් ඇතුළු බොහෝ පිරිසක් මෙම අවස්ථාවේදී හුස්ම හිරවීමෙන් මිය ගියහ.

විමර්ශනයකින් පසුව, නිලධාරීන් පසුගිය සතියේ ප්‍රකාශයට පත් කරන ලද වාර්තාවක  නිගමනය කළේ සිද්ධිය පිටුපස ඇති ප්‍රධාන හේතුව පොලිසිය ක්‍රීඩාංගනය තුළ කඳුළු ගෑස් භාවිතා කිරීම බවයි. මෙය FIFA විසින් තහනම් කරන ලද සෙනඟ පාලනය කිරීමේ පියවරකි. කලබලයට පත් ප්‍රේක්ෂකයින් පිටවීමේ දොරටු වෙත දිව යද්දී හුස්ම හිරවන වායු පැවතීම නිසා මෙම මරණ සිදු වූ බව වාර්ථා වේ.

உலகின் மிக மோசமான விளையாட்டு நெரிசலில் சிக்கி 133 பேர் உயிரிழந்த கால்பந்து மைதானத்தை தனது அரசாங்கம் இடித்து மீண்டும் கட்டும் என இந்தோனேசிய அதிபர் ஜோகோ விடோடோ தெரிவித்துள்ளார்.

ஜகார்த்தாவில் உள்ள ஸ்டேட் பேலஸில் உலக கால்பந்தாட்டத்தின் நிர்வாகக் குழுவான ஃபிஃபாவின் தலைவரான கியானி இன்ஃபான்டினோவைச் சந்தித்த பின்னர் செய்தியாளர்களிடம் பேசிய ஜோகோவி என்று பிரபலமாக அறியப்பட்ட ஜனாதிபதி செவ்வாயன்று அறிவித்தார்.

“மலாங்கில் உள்ள கஞ்சுருஹான் ஸ்டேடியம் … நாங்கள் அதை இடித்துவிட்டு FIFA தரத்தின்படி மீண்டும் கட்டுவோம்” என்று ஜோகோவி கூறினார். “இந்தோனேசிய கால்பந்தை முழுமையாக மாற்ற நாங்கள் தயாராக இருக்கிறோம்”

Sri Lanka U19 Women Shine with Third Straight Win in Tri-Series

Published

By

Sri Lanka Under-19 Women continued their impressive run in the Tri-Series in Australia, securing their third consecutive victory with a commanding 35-run win over England in Match 8.

Batting first, Sri Lanka posted a modest total of 104 for 8 in their 20 overs. Despite early pressure, valuable contributions from V. Balasuriya, who scored a steady 34 off 40 balls, and S. Kavindi with 26 off 33 deliveries helped stabilize the innings. England’s bowling attack was led by E. Bristowe, who delivered an excellent spell, claiming 3 wickets for just 15 runs.

In response, England struggled to build momentum against a disciplined Sri Lankan bowling unit. The innings was wrapped up in 16.3 overs, falling well short of the target. A. Oliver top-scored with 16 runs, while S. Patil added 12, but the rest of the lineup failed to make significant contributions.

Sri Lanka’s bowlers were outstanding, with V. Weerappuli taking 2 for 6, supported by strong performances from L. Thilakarathne and P. Methsara, who picked up key wickets to dismantle the opposition.
