Concerns and controversies

[edit]

Lead-up

[edit]

The 2024 PON has been marred by numerous issues and is widely considered the worst in history. One of the most significant problems has been the substandard quality of food and transportation provided for the athletes.[8] In addition to the incomplete construction of competition venues, various PON venues in Aceh have gradually collapsed during competitions due to their inability to withstand heavy rainfall. These include the collapsed roof of the shooting range, the destroyed archery field, and the shattered windows of the basketball court. These incidents have drawn significant international and domestic media attention, raising questions about the quality of preparations and management of such a large-scale sporting event.[8]

Controversies

[edit]

The 2024 PON men's soccer quarter-final match between Aceh and Central Sulawesi was marred by controversy triggered by the leadership of referee Eko Agus Sugih Harto from South Sumatra. His leadership was considered full of oddities, especially in several decisions that blatantly benefit Aceh, host of the event. The match became heated when the referee issued three red cards and gave two penalties to Aceh even though there were no clear violations. These decisions made the Central Sulawesi team feel unfairly treated until they finally decided not to continue the match when the score was still 1–1 in extra time. As a result of this incident, the Aceh team, which qualified for the semifinals, allegedly deliberately defeated themselves when facing East Java. This action was allegedly taken to avoid criticism from Indonesian netizens who were disappointed with Aceh's controversial victory over Central Sulawesi.[9]
