PSSI Secretary General, Yunus Nusi, also spoke about the issue of the dual passport of the Indonesian national team naturalization players.

Yunus was furious about calling the news a cheap issue and disturbing the stability of the Indonesian national team.

In fact, the Garuda squad is struggling to make history to qualify for the World Cup.

"Don't disappoint them (naturalized players). Don't break their spirits."

"They have become Indonesian citizens. There is Indonesian blood flowing in their bodies. They have sacrificed and are even more persistent in fighting for the dignity of the Indonesian nation than us.

"They are on their 'travel' to struggle to pass the Indonesian national team to the 2026 World Cup stage."

"Stop discussing this cheap issue. Always the spirit of the Indonesian national team," said Yunus Nusi in his personal Instagram upload.

Previously, it was known that the issue of the dual passport of naturalized players and diaspora surfaced for the first time from one of the Nasdem Party politicians, Peter F. Gontha, who is also a former Indonesian Ambassador to Poland.

Through uploads on his personal Instagram, he questioned the status of naturalized players.

"Did you know that their naturalization is only temporary because they have two passports?"

"Later, when they finish playing in Indonesia, they will throw away their Indonesian status?" wrote Peter Gontha.

"Do they just throw away their social allowances in their country?"

"Is it not better to lose with respect than to win or draw in a way that degrades the dignity of the nation?" he said again.

"Hopefully I will get a good, not emotional response, let us not be lied to or deceive ourselves with our fake football situation," he said.

Peter's chatter went viral immediately. Before Yunus, a member of the PSSI Executive Committee, Arya Sinulingga, also denied Peter's accusations.
