<p>To many out there (especially men), you can&rsquo;t deny that you&rsquo;re a sports fan. If there&rsquo;s one sport that many love out there, it&rsquo;s football.</p>
<p>Unlike most sports, you won&rsquo;t see a venue packed full of people just cheering for two teams at the top of their lungs. <span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>Yeah, we can&rsquo;t do that for sports like Golf and Tennis. </em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11px;"><em><img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1664785955/unsigned/bf5plgstekwgzkujllg3.jpg" /><br />In golf, despite spectators getting close to the action, marshals will always be carrying these &ldquo;quiet please&rdquo; signs as a crowd control to ensure players have full concentration to hit.</em></span></p>

<p>Recently, a disastrous stampede had happened in Malang in East Java, Indonesia after football team Arema FC lost to Persebaya Surabaya with a score of 2-3. Supporters of Arema FC had went on to invade the pitch to express their frustration with the match.</p>

<p>As the fans invaded the pitch, the East Java Police Officers had attempted to control the &ldquo;riots&rdquo; around the stadium by firing tear gas. This had caused a chain reaction of fans to panic and rushing to find an exit gate. In the midst of all the chaos, some fans had suffocated in the cloud of smoke while others had been trampled to death. Within the stadium alone, it was reported that at least 34 people, including two police officers had died at the stadium.</p>
<p>Here are some gifs of the timeline of events that happened in the stadium:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">1)Fans running onto the pitch.<br /><img src="https://static.mothership.sg/1/2022/10/ezgif.com-gif-maker-1.gif" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">2) Police with riot gear seen chasing, kicking and pushing the supporters.&nbsp;<br /><img src="https://static.mothership.sg/1/2022/10/ezgif.com-gif-maker-2.gif" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">3) Fans seen on top of fences to avoid the tear gas.<br /><img src="https://static.mothership.sg/1/2022/10/ezgif.com-gif-maker.gif" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p>According to East Java Vice Governor Emil Dardak, the death toll had been revised down to 125 people due to some names being recorded down twice in comparison to the original figure of 174 (on the day itself). Among those who lost their lives in the stampede, one of the victims was only 5-years-old.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p>Aside from the stampede and riot in the stadium, riots also broke out outside the stadium with crowds attacking police officers and damaging vehicles.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Aside from the tear gas fired at the spectators, Mahfud MD who&rsquo;s the country&rsquo;s minister of political, legal and security affairs released a statement on his Instagram that the stadium had been filled beyond its capacity. Instead of the supposed 38,000 tickets being issued, a total of 42,000 (an extra of 4,000) was issued instead.<strong><br /></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1664786245/unsigned/yobyuiauft21erg9v2ek.jpg" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p>It was also advised that due the overcrowding of the stadium, authorities had advised for the game to be held in the afternoon in where the organizer had ignored it. Due to the two teams being long time rivals, the supporters of Persebaya Surabaya were not allowed to purchase tickets for the game, therefore ruling out the class and riot of the supports was not between one another but with the fans of Arema FC alone.</p>
<p><strong>Football League Suspended</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1664786261/unsigned/xfl99anjsq6dqknxkkzi.jpg" /></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p>In a televised statement, President Joko Widodo had ordered an investigation into the tragedy as well as a safety review into all football matches. As of now, the country&rsquo;s football association has been ordered to suspend all matches from Indonesia&rsquo;s top leagues, BRI Liga 1, until the &ldquo;security improvements&rdquo; are completed.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I deeply regret this tragedy and I hope this football tragedy will be the last in our country,&rdquo; Widodo said.</p>
<p>The victims&rsquo; families from this incident will be compensated and will receive 15 million rupiah (~RM4,557.73) along with the hospital cost of victims being fully covered for.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1664786282/unsigned/a16gqeowhng7xr2p1blj.jpg" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p>FIFA President Gianni Infantino had issued a statement as he is left in a state of shock.</p>
<p>&ldquo;This is a dark day for all involved in football and a tragedy beyond comprehension. I extend my deepest condolences to the families and friends of the victims who lost their lives following this tragic incident. Together with FIFA and the global football community, all out thoughts and prayers are with the victims, those who have bene injured, together with the people of the Republic of Indonesia, the Asian Football Confederation, the Indonesian Football Association and the Indonesian Football League, at this difficult time,&rdquo; he said.</p>
<p>FIFA had also specified in a safety regulation that the usage of firearms or &ldquo;crowd control gas&rdquo; should not be carried out or used by stewards or police. At the time of writing, East Java Police had not respond to the request for comments if they had been informed of such regulations.</p>
<p>To date, this has been one of the worse sporting incidents in both Indonesia and Football history in terms of fan violence and death of fans.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>Hopefully there won&rsquo;t be more incidents like this in the future for Indonesia and any other sports. Condolences to all the victims and families involved.</em></span></p>
