PSSI General Chairperson (Ketum PSSI) is officially held by Erick Thohir, Minister of SOEs. Erick Thohir was elected to replace PSSI for the period 2023-2027 replacing Mochamad Irawan alias Iwan Bule. Erick Thohir's promises for PSSI have also been awaited by fans of Indonesian football.
Erick Thohir received the most votes in the PSSI Ketum election which was held through the Extraordinary Congress (KLB) at the Shangri-La Hotel, Jakarta, on Thursday 16 February. He won the highest votes defeating four other candidates, namely La Nyalla Mattalitti, Arif Putra Wicaksono, Doni Setiabudi, and Fary Djami Francis.
With the election of Erick Thohir as the new chairman, PSSI's new programs or breakthroughs have also been awaited by the Indonesian people. Previously, Erick Thohir had stated the programs he would realize during his tenure. So what are Erick Thohir's promises for PSSI?
Here are the five main promises made by Erick Thohir to bring PSSI further forward.
Erick Thohir once promised to continue holding League 2 and 3 competitions. In addition, he also said he would hold the Indonesian Cup competition again to give opportunities for young players to appear in official competitions.
The Minister of SOEs also wants to revive the atmosphere of Indonesian League competitions to become more professional. The plan aims to motivate teams in League 2 and 3 to enter the highest caste competition in Liga 1.
The welfare of the referee is also something that Erick Thohir will prioritize. He promised to improve the welfare of referees in Indonesia. The man who once owned the Inter Milan club considered that the low level of welfare could trigger referees to cheat.
To improve the welfare of referees, Erick Thohir offers several programs. The programs he carries include increasing the referee's salary, communicating more with the referee, visiting the referee's house, providing referee insurance, managing welfare funds, and so on. The breakthrough aims to improve the quality of referees in the country.
Erick Thohir also promised to build a training center for PSSI to continue the program from the previous chairman. The man with a business background will build a TC in 2023. With this facility, it is hoped that it can improve the performance of the Indonesian national team.
Another promise made by Erick Thohir is to hold a sarasehan between supporters and PSSI. The program will be held to facilitate direct communication with supporters.
Through the sarasehan program, Erick Thohir wants PSSI to be easier to absorb the aspirations of various elements involved in football. Erick Thohir hopes that the program can create a national football blue print based on input and criticism from the football fan community.
Erick Thohir also wants to implement video assistant refree (VAR) technology as has been done by countries in Europe. The application of VAR will be carried out in the BRI Liga 1 event to improve the implementation of football competitions.
Erick Thohir believes that the implementation of VAR can minimize the occurrence of human error in decision making by referees. With the use of this technology, he is optimistic that the implementation of the League 1 competition can run smoothly, fairly, and professionally.
That's a review of Erick Thohir's promises for PSSI. With the programs he will run, Erick Thohir wants to improve PSSI's performance to be more professional. Indonesian football fans are looking forward to it and will continue to remind about the realization of the promise.
