JAKARTA - Two names of ministers will also enliven the PSSI Executive Committee nomination exchange which will be held during the Extraordinary Congress (KLB), next February. The two names are Erick Thohir (Minister of SOEs) and Zainudin Amali (Menpora).

Erick Thohir is a candidate for PSSI General Chair (Ketum). Meanwhile, Zainudin Amali is running as a candidate for PSSI Deputy General Chair (Waketum).

When asked about the possibility of multiple positions if the two names of ministers passed, the Chairman of the Election Committee (KP), Amir Burhanudin, gave an explanation. He said it was still allowed.

Amir also said that Erick Thohir and Zainudin Amali did not need to leave his old position. This refers to the PSSI Statute which does not prohibit the Executive Committee from holding concurrent positions outside the organization.

"At the Statute we do not require them to be a prohibition against the positions they have," said Amir Burhanudin on the sidelines of announcing the results of registration at the GBK Arena, Monday, January 16 evening WIB.

"At the Statute it is explained that the conditions (nominated) are Indonesian citizens, 30 years old and once qualified in the world of Indonesian football. From that regulation, it will become our verification material (KP)," he continued.

Amir explained that the inclusion of the name on that day was still a raw list. Later, you will still have to go through several verification processes.

In this case KP will check the feasibility of the terms and conditions by adhering to two things.

"I convey that our verification will be carried out in administrative form and other requirements regulated in the Statute," he explained.

After the announcement stage for the initial candidate is complete, KP will convey the question of the lack of completeness of documents on January 19, 2023, after the verification is complete. Then, on January 31, 2023, there will be an announcement of the PSSI Executive Committee's list of candidates.

Furthermore, on February 1-3, 2023, prospective PSSI candidates and members who are declared not qualified as interim candidates can submit a request and appeal file to the PSSI Election Appeal Committee (KBP).

When the process is complete, KBP will announce the PSSI Executive Committee's list of permanent candidates on February 6, 2023. These permanent candidates will attend the PSSI Extraordinary Congress on February 16, 2023.
