Bali United’s Setback: Liga 1 2023/2024 Decree Postponed

Bali United has recognized that the postponement of the 31st week of Liga 1 2023/2024 represents a setback for the team. The team was experiencing a positive momentum during the past week, and the brief holiday intended for preparation for the upcoming match has disrupted their plans.

After their triumph against Persija Jakarta in the 30th week, Bali United was eagerly anticipating continuing their favorable trajectory. However, the abrupt changes in the schedule due to the postponement of the 31st week have impacted the team’s preparations.

Stefano Cugurra, Bali United’s coach, has expressed apprehension about the situation, emphasizing that the team had initially been slated for a holiday following the match against Persija Jakarta. Nevertheless, with the schedule adjustments, the team has had to regroup and realign their focus.

Initially, Bali United was scheduled to visit the Persikabo 1973 headquarters on April 4, 2024, followed by a day off after the 31st week. Week 32 was set to commence on April 15, 2024, after the Eid holiday. However, the postponement was decided in order to accommodate the U-23 Indonesian national team’s training camp in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), starting April 1, 2024.

The U-23 Indonesian national team will be participating in the 2024 U-23 Asian Cup, with their first match against Qatar scheduled for April 15, 2024. Consequently, Bali United’s new competitive schedule will not resume until April 21, 2024, or if the U-23 Indonesian national team fails to qualify for the 2024 U-23 Asian Cup group phase.

The postponement of the Liga 1 2023/2024 decree has presented a challenge for Bali United, requiring them to adjust their training program and maintain the players’ morale during the hiatus. The team is currently tasked with the objective of reclaiming their momentum once the competition resumes.
