Indonesia President Joko Widodo on Friday (Oct 7) said that football world governing body FIFA will not impose sanctions on the country over a stadium stampede last week that killed 131 people.
In a video message, the president said Indonesia would work with FIFA to improve its management of football matches and that FIFA president Gianni Infantino will visit Indonesia in October or November.
