JAKARTA - The Indonesian Professional Footballers Association (APPI) stated that Liga 1 club PSM and Liga 2 team Sriwijaya FC had paid off their players' salary arrears.

Quoted by Antara from its official website in Jakarta, Friday, APPI said that PSM paid the remaining salaries of 17 players for a total of around IDR 5.3 billion.

The settlement was carried out by PSM two months after the settlement deadline set by the National Football Dispute Resolution Agency (NDRC).

In addition, the management of the Juku Eja club also resolved the salary issue with two other local players who had not been brought to the NDRC.

"So the total arrears of local players that have been resolved are 19 players", wrote APPI.

Thus, APPI considers PSM to have the right to register players and participate in the 2021-2022 Indonesian League 1 which starts on 27 August 2021.

Then, Sriwijaya FC has also paid their salary debts to two players.

APPI said that the payment was made five months after the due date instructed by the NDRC.

Therefore, Sriwijaya FC can register players and participate in the 2021 Indonesian League 2 competition.

APPI also appreciates the efforts of PSM and Sriwijaya FC to fulfill their obligations to their players.
