Indonesia Premier Leagu,new hope for the better future of football in Indonesia

It has been two weeks ago since the day i wrote about the final of AFF Cup. The sadness and happiness  were mixed at the same time. I'm very sad because this is the fourth times to make a final without any trophy, and I'm happy because all the supporters with different background and different club were gathering in one stadium to support the national team. This euphoria was similar with the matches in Asian Cup 2007. The players showed their skills and fully motivated to win the game. But the performances was reaching what we called as anticlimax, loose in one game made we failed to get the first trophy.
Due to the error of football competition and organization, a group of people make a breakaway league named Indonesia Premier League. PSSI (The Indonesian FA) has never learn about the mistake and failure, including to organize a football league.
IPL or LPI is a new football league of Indonesia that is inspired by a businessman, named Arifin Panogoro. He and group of people make this league based on the decision of KSN in Malang, few months ago.
In this league, the capital, professionalism, and fair play become the major concern from the organizer. The organizer decide not to use the Local Budged (APBD). It is also make a plan for the football industry as the long term plan.
Welcome LPI ,together we change the game .
