Football is one of the most famous sports in the world, including in my region, Indonesia, where the people really like this sport. And tarkam or inter-village competitions are amateur-level sports competitions in Indonesia that usually take place in villages. The sports played in tarkam are generally popular sports in Indonesian society, such as football or volleyball.
A few days ago, I was on a trip to watch a sporting event, soccer, which is still considered amateur, or in other words, "tarkam."
My friend...
When I first arrived at the area, the committee directed me to the motorcycle parking area. These are some of the photos I captured at that time. The parking area looked neat and secure, in my personal opinion, compared to the committee.
Then, my friends and I bought tickets and entered the field to find comfortable seats. Considering this was still considered amateur football, the field was quite basic, but I personally found it a very valuable experience to watch an amateur football match featuring many professional players.
These are some of the pictures I captured during that time. After we found seats, I met one of my friends who also plays on this platform.
I was truly amazed when I arrived on the field. I saw its own unique beauty, and you could see that behind the field were buildings, some of which were homes for local residents.
After the first half, several members of the organizing committee inspected the field to clean up any trash and also reprimanded some spectators who crossed the field line, ensuring the game ran smoothly, prioritizing the players' comfort.
The excitement and boisterousness of the audience when a goal is scored provides a unique experience in the tournament, where this warmth is incredibly interesting for me personally, which allows them to build relationships with the surrounding community between villages.
And these are some of the last images I managed to capture at that time.
My friends...
Events like this are held regularly during certain months for fun. Some soccer players participate in local tournaments to maintain their fitness. They usually play during breaks between professional matches. Meanwhile, local tournaments also offer substantial prize money. Players reportedly receive a salary equivalent to the basic salary of civil servants in local tournaments.
Okay, friends, those are some of the images and a short caption from me for this session. I hope you all enjoyed and enjoyed what I shared. See you on my next blog.
