JAKARTA - PSSI General Chair, Mochammad Iriawan led the ceremony for the release of the Indonesian national team which will leave for Turkey. The release ceremony took place Thursday, November 11 at the Sultan Hotel, Jakarta.

In the event which was held starting at 16.00 WIB, Iwan Bule - the nickname of the PSSI chairman - conveyed many messages to Garuda employees. The most important message is an expression of feeling proud and encouraging the Garuda squad to keep fighting.

"I am proud of these children, they will go to Turkey to continue to fight. One of my messages is that you must keep fighting hard to prove yourself capable," said the chairman of PSSI when giving a speech.

The Garuda squad departed for Turkey on Thursday night. The departure of this national team is nothing but an effort to strengthen ahead of competing in the 2020 AFF Cup.

In Turkey, Evan Dimans et al will undergo two test matches. First against Afghanistan and followed by Myanmar.

Iwan Bule also continues to give the best prayers for the national team players. Even though it's only a trial, according to him, it will still have an effect on increasing self-confidence.

"There (Turkey) was indeed a trial first against Afghanistan and Myanmar, but so that the trial must remain maximal," he said.

"If the results of the trial can be good, it will be returned to you. It will increase self-confidence for sure," said the chairman of PSSI.
