Fan-Driven Reforms Gain Momentum: Thohir Pledges Action on Ultras' Safety Proposals

PSSI chair Erick Thohir doubled down on fan involvement on October 28, pledging to implement Ultras Garuda's proposals for enhanced stadium safety and ticketing transparency. Following last week's summit, Thohir told BBC: "Post-Kanjuruhan, we've learned—fans' voices shape reforms." Key ideas include full VAR rollout (target 100% by 2026) and €3m for fan education programs. Ultras, with 500k members, celebrated on X: #ReformGaruda hits 100k posts, sharing rally photos. The Guardian notes this as a "post-tragedy pivot," with zero violence incidents this season thanks to segregated zones. Challenges persist: Regional disparities in Papua, but FIFA's €5m grant aids new facilities. Thohir's Man Utd background brings pro-fan policies, including affordable tickets for U-23 matches. October 29 updates: PSSI forms a fan advisory board, first meeting in November. This momentum builds on €30m youth investments, fostering unity. Indonesian football's heart—fans—are now at the table, driving change from grassroots to glory.
