He pledged to pull out all the stops. This includes greasing the wheels for administrative permits, smoothing out logistics with the Transportation Agency (Dishub), and ramping up publicity efforts citywide. He even went a step further, extending a personal invitation to the world-class soccer icons to visit Jakarta City Hall.

Senyawa Entertainment CEO, Reza Subekti emphasized that the upcoming "Clash of Legends Jakarta" is not just your average soccer match. Instead, he frames the high-profile event as a crown jewel in the year-long festivities marking Jakarta’s quincentennial (500th anniversary).

"He also tipped his hat to the Governor and Jakarta government for throwing their full weight behind us. Their support is truly putting Jakarta on the map as a heavy hitter for world-class international sporting events," he explained.

This milestone proves Jakarta is ready to step up to the plate as a premier global host, showing it has the whole package—not just in infrastructure, but in vision and synergy.
