JAKARTA - Persija Jakarta was made complete with a federation decision that summoned 12 players to the national team of various age groups. Even though currently the Kemayoran Tigers are also still actively competing in League 1.

PSSI Deputy General Chair Zainudin Amali said his party would establish serious communication with Persija regarding this matter.

"Yes, about that (the summons of 12 Persija players) we will communicate," he said when met at the GBK Arena on Friday, March 17 afternoon WIB.

To note, Persija players who were called to the senior national team were Riko Simanjuntak, Hansamu Yama, Syahrian Abimanyu, Witan Sulaeman, Muhammad Ferarri, and Dony Tri Pamungkas.

Meanwhile, for the U-20 national team players from Persija there are Cahya Supriadi, Frengky Missa, Alfriyanto Nico, Achmad Maulana Syarif, Resa Aditya, and Ginanjar Wahyu. Apart from these names Muhammad Ferari, and Dony Tri Pamungkas are also among them.

Persija's Vice President, Ganesha Putera, explained that the current situation experienced by the capital team is quite complicated and unfavorable. The reason is, during the FIFA Matchday period, Persija will also face Persita Tangerang on March 28, 2023.

"So there are two problems that arise, the first is of course the match on the 28th between Persita and Persija which takes place on FIFA Matchday, this is the first problem," said Ganesha.

"The second problem, we may have talked about this often regarding player summons outside FIFA Matchday, both with U-20 players with U-23 players," he continued.

Ganesha emphasized that this was not just Persija's problem. However, it is also a problem for Indonesian football.
