IRC CUP FOR HIGH SCHOOL

IRC tire is crossing over from the race track onto soccer fields with its sponsorship of a soccer tournament for Greater Jakarta high school students.

The IRC Cup is scheduled to take place on Oct. 11 to Nov. 8 at Lebak Bulus Stadium in South Jakarta, with participants from 28 high schools in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang and Bekasi. “We are already known for sponsoring motor racing events. This is the first time we’ve sponsored a soccer event and we plan to do this annually. Let’s see how enthusiastic the students are about the tournament before we hold a tournament outside Greater Jakarta,” said Arijanto Notorahardjo, general marketing & retail sales of PT Gajah Tunggal, IRC tire maker, told a press conference on Wednesday.

He said that by cooperating with the Jakarta branch of the Indonesian Soccer Association (PSSI), the firm expected the event to also serve as talent-scouting grounds.

The tournament adopts a knockout system with modified playing rules, in which the teams play 2x30 minutes with possible 10 minutes of extra time compared to the normal 2x45 minutes and 15 minutes of extra time.
