Wearing red from top to bottom, 36-year-old civil servant Bayu Prawiradisma nervously waited for a friend to arrive so they could enter the stadium and find their seats quickly.
“This is a rare, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. When else will the Argentina national soccer team come here?” Bayu told The Jakarta Post before the Indonesia vs. Argentina FIFA Matchday game on Monday.
Bayu is one of tens of thousands of Indonesian supporters who had scored a rare opportunity to see the national team play against 2022 FIFA World Cup champion Argentina in the nation’s capital.
