Agum promises sanctions to PSSI congress troublemakers

Indonesian Soccer Association (PSSI) Normalization Committee chairman Agum Gumelar has promised to give sanctions to troublemakers that made last Friday’s congress fail to elect new PSSI chairman.

“We are still the acting organizers of PSSI. Regarding your suggestion to give punishment to the troublemakers, we are processing it,” Agum told legislators during a hearing on Tuesday evening as quoted by tribunnews.com.

The PSSI congress ended in a deadlock as Group 78 insisted on nominating George Toisutta and Arifin Panigoro as PSSI chairman although the two hopefuls’ nomination has been rejected by a PSSI appeal committee. The appeal committee decision was later upheld by FIFA.

FIFA is expected to announce its decision on May 30 whether or not to punish Indonesia following the chaotic PSSI congress.
