Youth and Sports Minister Andi Mallarangeng said his office was talking Malaysia into allocating tickets for Indonesian supporters for the AFF Suzuki Cup 2010 final match between Indonesia and Malaysia at Bukit Jalil stadium in Kuala Lumpur this Sunday.
He said Indonesia would do the same thing for Malaysian supporters at the second final match at Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta on Dec. 29, if Malaysia agrees on allocating the tickets.
“We’re holding talks about the issue with Malaysia; our ambassador there is talking them into it. We want some tickets allocated for Indonesian citizens living in Malaysia, as well as those who will have to fly from here to watch the match,” Andi said after a Cabinet
meeting at the Vice Presidential Office.
He refused, however, to disclose exactly how many tickets he wanted Malaysia to allocate.
Indonesia will meet Malaysia in two final matches after defeating the Philippines in two semifinal matches in Jakarta last week, both by scores of 1-0.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who watched the semifinal matches with the Philippines in the Bung Karno Stadium, has said he also wants to watch the final match between Indonesia and Malaysia in Jakarta.
