SEMARANG - The policy of the Acting Chairman of the Central Java PSSI, Ahmad Riyadh, to dismiss the Acting at the Regency/City Association or Askab/Askot level has caused objections. This step is considered to go beyond the mandate given by the Central PSSI.
Football observer and former PSSI Central Java Exco, Edi Sayudi, said the objection referred to PSSI Decree Number 09/SKEP/I-2026 regarding the appointment of Ahmad Riyadh as Acting Chairman of the Central Java PSSI.
According to Edi, the authority of the Acting in the SK is limited to running the organizational wheel as well as preparing and organizing the election congress.
However, in practice, there is a policy to dismiss the Acting Askab/Askot. Edi assessed that this step has no explicit basis in the SK, PSSI Statute 2025, and PSSI Organization Regulations.
"In the existing rules, there is no provision that clearly gives the authority to the Acting Head of Asprov to dismiss the Acting at the district/city level," Edi said in his statement, Tuesday, May 5.
He said that the authority should be with the PSSI Center or be taken through a legitimate organizational mechanism.
According to Edi, in terms of organizational governance, the authority of a caretaker is limited. The caretaker should not make strategic decisions without a special mandate.
Therefore, the dismissal of the Acting Askab/Askot has the potential to cause administrative problems and can be questioned organizationally.
Edi said that those who objected had asked for official clarification regarding the legal basis of the policy. They also urged that the decision to dismiss be reviewed to maintain the stability of the regional football organization.
Until this news was released, there was no official statement from Ahmad Riyadh regarding the controversy.
