TANGERANG - Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has no problem regarding his two ministers who serve as Chairman and Deputy Chair of PSSI. According to him, this is only a matter of managing time.
"Most importantly, everything can arrange the time. Yes, as I said, the government will not intervene anything to PSSI," said Jokowi at ICE BSD, Tangerang Regency, Friday, February 17.
"Because we also know, Mr. Basuki is also the chairman of Rowing, yes. Mr. Airlangga is the chairman of Wushu, yes. Mr. Luhut is also the chairman of PASI, yes. Mr. Prabowo is the head of pencak silat, he can," he continued.
According to Jokowi, the most important thing for now is a reform to planning for the advancement of Indonesian football. Furthermore, he plans to meet with the General Chairperson and Deputy General Chair of PSSI, to find out about Indonesia's football planning.
"Later, when it is right, next week it looks like I will meet you, I will ask for it. There is already a road map yet, there is a target yet, to achieve the target what is being done, everything must be planned in detail if we want our football to move forward," he concluded.
Previously, it was reported that SOE Minister Erick Thohir was elected as PSSI General Chair (Ketum) for the period 2023-2027. He won the vote at the PSSI 2023 Extraordinary Congress at the Shangri-La Hotel, Central Jakarta on Thursday, February 16 afternoon.
Erick was elected after pocketing 64 votes out of a total of 86 voters who attended the PSSI 2023 KLB. Meanwhile, the chairman of the DPD RI, LaNyalla Mattalitti, who became Erick Thohir's strong rival, only won 22 votes.
PSSI Deputy Drama
After the voting was made, the name Menpora Zainudin Amali disappeared from the PSSI Deputy Chairman list. The names chosen were Queen Thasha and Yunus Nusi.
At this moment, Zainudin Amali's plan to resign from the position of Minister of Youth and Sports if elected as Deputy Chairman of PSSI.
This was based on his statement after failing to get a vote for the position of Deputy Chairman of PSSI in the re-voting. He stated that he did not resign from the position of Menpora because he was not elected as Deputy Chairman of PSSI.
"I didn't back down (from the Menpora), I wasn't elected. Disappointed, no, I'm still the Minister of Youth and Sports. Unless I resign (Menpora) and don't get elected, right," Amali said after the vote.
"I will still report to the President," he continued.
However, not long ago, the excitement occurred again. Yunus Nusi, who was previously elected, was reported to have resigned. It is not known for sure why. However, his decision made it possible for Amali to occupy PSSI 2 position with Queen Tisha
