Football is massive in Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital. 433 traveled there to cover the Common Ground project from the Bundesliga. We took a deep dive into football culture in Jakarta and found out why Indonesia never produced a top level football player, even though football is the number 1 sport in this enormous country.  When we landed in Jakarta, we drove to the training grounds of Persija Jakarta, the city’s biggest football club. Persija Jakarta is currently managed by Thomas Doll. He played for clubs like Lazio and HSV and managed clubs such as Borussia Dortmund. Thomas Doll was signed by Persija Jakarta last year to take over as the club’s manager. It’s been one big adventure for Thomas Doll so far in Jakarta. - Hosted on Acast.
