President Jokowi to watch President's Cup final at Pakansari President Joko Widodo (Antara/Ari Bowo Sucipto)

P

resident Joko "Jokowi" Widodo is scheduled to watch the final match of the 2017 President's Cup soccer tournament at Pakansari Stadium in Cibinong, Bogor, West Java, on Sunday evening.

The match will see Pusamania Borneo face Arema FC in the 30,000-capacity stadium, which was used for the semifinal and final rounds of the Southeast Asian-level 2016 AFF Cup in December.

Pusamania stunned 2015 champion Persib Bandung in two-leg semifinals last week to take the final spot, while favorite Arema outclassed Semen Padang.

On Saturday, Persib beat Semen Padang 1-0 to secure third place in the Pakansari stadium.

The cup is a pre-season soccer tournament inaugurated by Jokowi.

The Sunday final will be aired by Indosiar at 7 p.m.
