JAKARTA - PSSI through the Executive Committee Member, Arya Sinulingga, raised his voice regarding the five Indonesian clubs that were convicted by FIFA in the form of tire registration.

According to Arya, PSSI still cannot talk much about the five club being punished. You see, they have not received a report from the club involved.

The five clubs are Persiwa Wamena, Persija Jakarta, Persikab Bandung Regency, Persiraja Banda Aceh, and Sada North Sumatra FC.

"We have not received (the report) of the email. So, we have not been able to respond. He said it (the news of the punishment) was given to clubs and we are waiting for it because it is different," said Arya Sinulingga when met at the GBK Arena, Senayan, Central Jakarta, on Tuesday, April 2, 2024, evening WIB.

Broadly speaking, tire registration is a prohibition for clubs to register new players they recruited on the transfer market to local federations. The ban prevented the clubs from playing their new players.

Generally, a club is sentenced to tire registration for violating transfer regulations or having unpaid transfer debts to other clubs. In some cases, the ban on playing can be lifted by paying off debts.

According to the tire registration issued by FIFA against five Indonesian clubs, the majority of clubs are subject to penalties this year, except for those who have been sanctioned since May 12, 2022.

For Persija and Persiraja, the beginning of the tire registration period begins on January 26, 2024. Meanwhile, Persikab and Sada North Sumatra on February 26, 2024.

The length of the sentence is also different. Persija, Persikab, Persiraja, and Sada North Sumatra were subject to a ban registration in three registration periods. Meanwhile, Persiwa will be sentenced until FIFA revokes it.

These penalties usually apply to two or three transfer markets after the club violates transfer regulations or has unpaid transfer debts to other clubs.
