Prabowo Subianto is the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Garudayaksa Football Academy. This tournament was deliberately held to help develop Indonesian football.
“Compete well, compete happily, compete like a knight. Don’t be a weak nation, don’t be a nation that gives up before competing,” said Prabowo some time ago.
The Nusantara Open is the second time it has been held and was initiated directly by Prabowo Subianto. This time 16 teams participated, consisting of 11 Elite Pro Academy (EPA) League 1 teams and 5 football academies.
The 2023 Nusantara Open will run until December 21. Later, Prabowo will send the winning team to study in Qatar.
