JAKARTA - Indonesia will not be sanctioned by FIFA following the Oct 1 tragedy at Kanjuruhan Stadium, Malang, East Java that claimed 125 lives including children, said the country’s president Joko Widodo.

The matter was conveyed by FIFA President Gianni Infantino through a letter to Joko Widodo better known as Jokowi.

"Based on the letter, Indonesian football has not been sanctioned by FIFA," Jokowi said in a statement adding that Infantino will visit Indonesia this month or November.

He said Indonesia, FIFA and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) will work together to transform the country's football.
