After a deadlock at the Indonesian Soccer Association (PSSI) congress, the controversial Group 78 said on Sunday that they would consult with the State Minister for Youth and Sports Affairs, Andi Mallarangeng, and FIFA to resolve the PSSI leadership problem.
The group also expected there would be no sanction from FIFA.
“We hope our problem will be handled by the new FIFA president, as we thought the current FIFA officials had violated their authority,” PSM Makassar legal director Syahrir Cakkari said on Sunday as quoted by tribunnews.com.
Syahrir said FIFA officials had breached their authority by banning four PSSI chairman candidates – George Toisutta, Arifin Panigoro, Nirwan Bakrie and Nurdin Halid – without clear reasons.
He said George and Nirwan should be eligible to run for the PSSI chairmanship.
He did not mind that Nurdin and Arifin were ineligible, as Nurdin was a convict while Arifin held a league outside the leagues recognized by the PSSI.
