Welcome to Football Indonesia, a podcast looking at the beautiful game in a beautiful country. Indonesia is the most populous nation in which football is the No1 sport, however its history has been complicated and difficult. There was renewed hope in 2017 when a two-year FIFA was lifted and a new league began. 

In this first episode of Football Indonesia, I asked Raphael Hartman, Head of Marketing at Liga Indonesia Baru, to the scene and tell us how the new event was created with four weeks notice.
