Kenan has been a big supporter of our local soccer team, Bali United FC. Their games regularly attract 30,000 wild supporters. We went to our first game a few weeks ago. Kenan was happy to get in on the action. It was a big 3-2 win for the home side.
Bali United ended up coming in second place in the Indonesian Premier League, losing controversially to a team that is run by the national police force.
Indonesian soccer games have a reputation for getting out of control. Smoke bombs, firecrackers, and water bottle bombardment of opposing players are commonplace. Sadly, one fan even died during an Indonesian Premier League game this year.
