Piala Dunia 2026: Kapolda Papua Tengah Supports Argentina National Team

The 2026 World Cup is gaining attention in Indonesia, and Kapolda Papua Tengah, Brigjen Pol. Jermias Rontini, has expressed his enthusiasm for the event.

The 2026 World Cup is scheduled to take place from June 12 to July 20, 2026, in three host countries: the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Brigjen Pol. Jermias has publicly declared his support for the Argentina National Team.

According to him, the presence of team captain Lionel Messi is a crucial factor in his confidence in the team's ability to win the championship. 'I choose Argentina because Messi is still making significant contributions. His presence will be a great motivation for all players to win the championship in 2026,' said Brigjen Pol. Jermias.

His optimism is also based on the composition of the Argentina squad, which he believes is very mature. The team has a strong lineup, including Emiliano Martinez, Gerónimo Rulli, and Juan Musso as goalkeepers, and Cristian Romero, Nicolás Otamendi, and Nahuel Molina as defenders.

Brigjen Pol. Jermias plans to coordinate a watching event with the Papua Tengah Provincial Government, considering the time difference between Indonesia and the host countries. He hopes the 2026 World Cup will be a positive entertainment event for the community.

He also urged the public to maintain order and not to engage in excessive convoy activities that might disrupt traffic. 'Let's not let our enthusiasm disrupt public order,' he said.

Brigjen Pol. Jermias hopes that the 2026 World Cup will inspire young generations in Papua to pursue their dreams and become international players in the future.
