JAKARTA - Indonesian footballer who is currently playing in Malaysia, Saddil Ramdani had difficulty returning to the country. Minister of Youth and Sports (Menpora) Zainudin Amali immediately responded.

Saddil Ramdani's return to Indonesia was difficult due to Malaysian immigration being held back. The reason is that his old club file, Pahang FC, was in arrears on foreign players' customs bills of 43 thousand ringgit or IDR 148 million in 2019. In fact, at this time Saddil has moved to the Sabah FC club.

Knowing the root of Saddil's problem, the Minister of Youth and Sports immediately established communication with Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) and sent his party to contact the Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur to find a solution.

"I have communicated with PSSI, it is related to his business with the old club Pahang FC, namely financial issues. Now he has played at his new club Sabah FC, but apparently, there are still problems that have not been resolved by the old club, related to taxes," said Menpora Zainudin Amali was quoted from the official website of the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Thursday, November 4.

After establishing communication regarding the problems experienced by Saddil, the Minister of Youth and Sports again reported that the efforts had sweet fruit. The footballer has certainly been able to return to Indonesia as soon as possible.

"After communicating with the embassy with related parties in Malaysia, I also received a report that a solution to the problem had been found,"

"Information from the embassy in Malaysia is that Saddil Ramdani has been able to return to Indonesia today," explained the Minister of Youth and Sports.

Saddil, who is currently suffering from an injury, is known to want to return to Indonesia to focus on recovery in the hope of immediately strengthening the national team. The reason is, the 22-year-old player has been absent twice from coach Shin Tae-yong's call.
