The death toll from a stampede at a football stadium in Indonesia's East Java province has been revised down to 125 from 174, East Java Deputy governor Emil Dardak said on Sunday.

A police statement said supporters of the losing team stormed the pitch after the game, with the number rising to some 3,000 as tensions escalated. Those on the pitch ran to exits after tear gas was used.

Indonesian President Joko Widodo Sunday ordered authorities to thoroughly re-evaluate security at football games.

In a televised statement, Widodo said the country's sports and youth minister, national police chief and Indonesian football association chief were ordered "to conduct a thorough evaluation of football matches and the security procedures."

Indonesia's top league BRI Liga 1 will be suspended until the investigation is concluded, as he called for this to be "the nation's last football tragedy."

Zainudin Amali, Indonesia's sports minister, called for a full investigation after the incident and said authorities would re-evaluate safety at football matches, possibly not allowing spectators.

"We will thoroughly evaluate the organization of the match and the attendance of supporters. Will we return to banning supporters from attending the matches? That is what we will discuss," Amali said.

Yunus Nusi, secretary general of Indonesia's football association (PSSI), said that FIFA had requested a report on the deadly incident that occurred in the Javanese city of Malang and a PSSI team had been sent to the site to investigate. 

"The football world is in a state of shock following the tragic incidents that have taken place in Indonesia at the end of the match between Arema FC and Persebaya Surabaya at the Kanjuruhan Stadium," FIFA President Gianni Infantino said. "This is a dark day for all involved in football and a tragedy beyond comprehension. I extend my deepest condolences to the families and friends of the victims who lost their lives following this tragic incident."

"Together with FIFA and the global football community, all our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, those who have been injured, together with the people of the Republic of Indonesia, the Asian Football Confederation, the Indonesian Football Association, and the Indonesian Football League, at this difficult time," he added.
