Toisutta urged to withdraw from PSSI chairmanship race

Indonesian Soccer Association (PSSI) chairman candidate George Toisutta has been urged by a loyal supporter to withdraw his candidacy.

“I beg you [Mr] George Toisutta, as a senior and a top Army official, to declare that you will not run for chairmanship. This will avoid another deadlock at the next PSSI congress on June 30,” Persigo Gorontalo team chairman Adhan Dambea said Wednesday as quoted by tribunnews.com.

He added that his request was not part of a strategy to win his own nomination, but to develop the soccer in Indonesia.

If Toisutta and Arifin Panigoro insist on maintaining their bids for the chairmanship post, Indonesia would likely be subject to sanctions from the world soccer authority FIFA, which did not recognize Toisutta, and Arifin nomination, he said.
