Kanjuruhan Indonesia Football Tragedy (Culture, Management, Governance, and Justice)

Abstract

Football is the most popular sport compared to other sports and is the most popular community entertainment in Indonesia. But behind the football hype, too little research has been found on the culture, governance and fairness of sports law in football. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate issues related to these three things. This research method is using a qualitative, content-analytic and prescriptive legal approach that was chosen to find answers to the problems found. The set of facts that was found is analyzed with quality levels derived from primary and secondary data. The conclusion of this research study reveals that the tragedy of the Kanjuruhan Malang stadium riots was the result of a competitive culture between Indonesia's two top football clubs. The incident occurred due to the weak leadership of Indonesian football sports management. Furthermore, in the event of a riot, action must be taken against all football officials in accordance with the legal norms in Indonesia. And the suggestion is as a future recommendation that the role of all parties and the public should not only look at football from the side of the game, but football as itself. Because football has its laws, tools to regulate specifically according to the ideals of sports, good governance and governing legal instruments.
