The enthusiasm and determination of Jordy Amat and Sandy Walsh to become Indonesian citizens seems so passionate. It can be seen when both of them are very fluent in singing the national anthem of Indonesia Raya ahead of the reading of the oath.

"Let me say, now you have citizenship as Indonesian citizens. Before the oath, at the beginning of you (Sandy and Jordi) I saw that you memorized and were fluent in singing the anthem Indonesia Raya. Hopefully, it will be the first form of love for the country, Indonesia, yes," said Ibnu Chuldun.

"Hopefully your presence and status as Indonesian citizens can pave the way for you to excel, especially in the field of soccer to bring the good name of Indonesia," hoped the Head of the Regional Office, which was greeted with a smile from the two naturalized players.
