Good News For Shin Tae-yong, Sandy Walsh And Jordi Amat Said Oath To Become Indonesian Citizens Tomorrow!
JAKARTA - Two prospective Indonesian naturalized players, Sandy Walsh and Jordi Amat, will undergo the oath-taking of Indonesian citizens (WNI) on Thursday, November 17. This is based on information shared by the official PSSI website.
"Jordi Amat Maas dan Sandy Walsh direncanakan akan diambil oath untuk menjadi Warga Negara Indonesia (WNI) di tanggal 17 November 2022 oleh Kemenkumham RI, tulis rilis di laman resmi PSSI pada Rabu, 16 November.
Referring to the oath-taking schedule, Jordi Amat and Sandy Walsh's chances of appearing in the 2022 AFF Cup are wide open. The reason is that if the oath-taking goes smoothly, both of them have officially become Indonesian citizens starting on November 17.
PSSI still has time to register the two for the 2022 AFF Cup. As is known, the deadline for player registration for the 2022 AFF Cup falls on Sunday, November 20.
This news was welcomed by the General Chairperson (Ketum) of PSSI, Mochamad Iriawan. He also asked Jordi and Sandy to come to Indonesia to undergo the process of taking the oath of Indonesian citizens.
"I received news yesterday that on Thursday 17 November 2022, Sandy Walsh and Jordi Amat will be sworn in by the Indonesian Ministry of Law and Human Rights as Indonesian citizens," he said, quoted from the PSSI website.
"For that, I have asked Sandy Walsh and Jordi Amat to come to Indonesia," continued Iriawan.
With the naturalization process that is just one step away, Iriawan is grateful and hopes that the presence of these two players can increase the strength of the national team in the AFF Cup later.
"Alhamdulillah, thank you to all those who have fought for this good thing. Hopefully, by joining Sandy and Jordi, it will increase the strength of the national team," said Iriawan.
The Indonesian national team will undergo the 2022 AFF Cup tournament from December 20, 2022 to January 16, 2023. In that competition, the Garuda Squad is in Group A with Thailand, the Philippines, Cambodia, and Brunei Darussalam.
