JAKARTA - Jay Idzes' naturalization process is one step away. The Venezia player is only left to take the oath of Indonesian citizens (WNI) which will be held on Thursday, December 28, 2023.

After the process was carried out, Idzes was officially declared to have the status of an Indonesian citizen. The good news about the development of the Idzes naturalization process was shared by the Secretary General of PSSI, Yunus Nusi.

"Jay (Idzes) alone will take the oath (WNI) on December 28, 2023 at 09.00 WIB. That (the taking of the oath of Indonesian citizens) at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, Cawang," said Yunus Nusi in a statement quoted on Wednesday, December 27, 2023.

In the same statement, Yunus Nusi explained that in the process of taking the oath of Indonesian citizens was only for Idzes. Nathan Tjoe-A-On, who underwent the naturalization process with Idzes, did not take the oath because he had to strengthen his team, Swansea City.

The green light related to naturalization of Idzes began in early December 2023. The Indonesian House of Representatives approved its naturalization request together with Tjoe-A-On at the Plenary Session in Senayan, Jakarta.

Although he will hold the status of an Indonesian citizen in the next few days, in fact Idzes cannot take part in the nearest Indonesian national team agenda, namely the 2023 Asian Cup in January 2024.

The problem is, the name Idzes was not registered by Shin Tae-yong, who is currently leading the Indonesian national team training camp in Turkey.
