Indonesian President Joko Widodo ordered authorities on Sunday to thoroughly re-evaluate security at soccer matches, after a stampede and clashes at a stadium in East Java Province killed at least 129 people.

He also told the country's soccer association to halt Liga 1 matches until the investigation is concluded, and called for this to be "the nation's last soccer tragedy."
