More than eight years of civil war in Yemen has unleashed what the United Nations describes as one of the world's worst humanitarian tragedies.

Fierce rivals Persebaya and Arema FC last met in October 2022 when the match ended in a crush in which 135 people were killed.

The dead include five women and three children.

Hasdarmawan had previously denied ordering his subordinates to fire tear gas toward the supporters.

Both men worked for Arema FC, and have been banned from football-related activities for life by the country's football federation.

Indonesian football has long been blighted by problems, including match-fixing scandals and crowd trouble between rival supporters, which has resulted in some matches being played behind closed doors.

The transcripts of emergency calls released by the police showed the first warning of a possible deadly surge was made roughly four hours before the crush turned deadly.

Officials say 154 were killed and 149 injured, with 33 people in serious condition.

Twenty-four hours before, there were already warning signs that the festivities were attracting dangerous numbers of people, and victims and their relatives questioned an apparent lack of crowd control.

A further 65 people were injured in the melee in Seoul's Itaewon district.

Gianni Infantino says the first priority in Indonesia would be to reform and transform the country's football, and that football fans are owed safety and security.

Indonesian authorities are under pressure to take swift steps to overhaul football safety standards after more than 130 people died during a crowd crush at a match at the Kanjuruhan stadium in East Java on Oct 1.
