U22 Indonesia parades to celebrate winning the 32nd SEA Games.
President of the Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) Erick Thohir and coach Indra Sjafri along with all the team members stand on the double-decker bus. The 32nd SEA Games men's football champion parades through the streets of central Jakarta.
U22 Indonesia won the SEA Games after 32 years of waiting.
Jakarta streets were congested because of the parade.
The Indonesian Football Federation has apologized to the people of Jakarta for the inconvenience.
From early morning, the number of people pouring into the streets was so large that traffic was congested. This affected many people who had to go to work in the morning.
However, those complaints did not affect the festive atmosphere on the streets. Along the route, two music stages were set up. Energetic songs were sung. For Indonesian football fans, this was a feat that had been awaited for more than 3 decades.
The Indonesian U22 team sat on a bus parading through the streets.
After 32 years, Indonesian football won the SEA Games championship. They beat U22 Vietnam in the semi-finals despite having to play with one less player. Then, coach Sjafri's team defeated U22 Thailand in the final with a score of 5-2.
However, the final match witnessed a scuffle between players and coaches of both teams. This created a bad image with international friends. Many major newspapers in the world reported on the scuffle. The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) will impose penalties on both teams.
