  "account": "The Indonesian National Police have deployed a force of 5,641 officers to safeguard the 2026 FIFA ASEAN Cup football tournament. From September 25 to October 5, 2026, the event will be held in Jakarta and Bandung. Inspector General Laksana, Deputy Assistant to the Chief of Police for Operations, announced the deployment of 5,641 personnel, including 102 leadership and staff, 3,834 from Jakarta Metro Police, and 1,705 from West Java Regional Police, during a roll call on September 21, 2026. The tournament will take place at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium in Jakarta and the Si Jalak Harupat Stadium in Bandung. In addition to stadium security, police will also monitor arrival points, training locations, team movement routes, fan concentration points, parking areas, vital objects, and areas prone to disturbances. Laksana warned of potential crowd congestion, supporter dynamics, inappropriate attributes, and non-compliance with ticket and baggage regulations. High crowd mobility could lead to traffic congestion, posing risks to personal belongings, vehicles, and ticket sales order. Police must anticipate digital vulnerabilities such as hoaxes, incitement, hate speech, and calls for mass mobilization. The inaugural FIFA ASEAN Cup will feature Indonesia, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Singapore in Division 1, and Vietnam, Pakistan, Thailand, the Philippines in Division 2. Hong Kong will host Division 2 alongside Laos and Brunei Darussalam in Group A, while Cambodia, Myanmar, and Timor-Leste will compete in Group B.",
