Controversies Gelora Bandung Lautan Api Stadium crowd incident
On the group C match between Persib Bandung (host) and Persebaya Surabaya, which took place on 17 June 2022 at Gelora Bandung Lautan Api Stadium, Bandung, an uncontrolled mass that was forced to enter the stage caused at least two people to be killed. The stadium arena was reported to be in poor condition with eight entrances vandalized, trash strewn and items abandoned. In response to the event, the Football Association of Indonesia (PSS!) via their website, released that they would investigate the incident. Disciplinary committee of PSSI imposed Persib a fine of IDR 50 Million and a ban on playing at the Gelora Bandung Lautan Api Stadium for the remainder of the tournament.
Agung Prasetyo "kungfu kick" Yudi Nurcahya was a FIFA licensed referee and led the second leg of the finals between Borneo Samarinda and Arema at Segiri Stadium, Samarinda. At the 33rd minute of the match, Arema player Gian Zola's head was struck by Borneo Samarinda player Agung Prasetyo's "kungfu kick" when Zola was about to head the ball in the air, potentially injuring Zola. Nurcahya gave no card to Prasetyo (despite such actions being punishable according to the FIFA Laws of the Game), instead giving it to Zola. Arema player Adam Alis was also given a yellow card by the referee relating to the call.
