JAKARTA - Chairman of the All-Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) Mochamad Iriawan alias Iwan Bule, confirmed that he would no longer run for the position he currently holds. Initially, Iwan Bule was said to want to run again in the Extraordinary Congress (KLB) on February 16 next. However, he confirmed that he would not participate in the election of the general chairman and the executive committee was accelerated. He admitted that he had given everything for Indonesian football while occupying the highest position of the national football parent. Therefore, he felt it was time to give another chance. "I feel that I have been at the end of the term of service. I have been quite maximal. The power, time, thought, and meters have been mobilized," he said. PSSI has appointed members of the Election Committee (KP) and the Selection Committee (KBP) in the Ordinary Congress (KB) at the Sultan Hotel, Senayan, Jakarta, Sunday, January 15 earlier.

This independent team will later be tasked with filtering out candidates for the general chairman, vice chairman, and members of the executive committee (Exco). The files of the registrants will be examined to ensure whether they meet the requirements or not. So far, only two names have registered to run as candidates for chairman. The two names are SOE Minister Erick Thohir and Chairman of the Indonesian Regional Representative Council (DPD) AA LaNyalla Mahmud Mattalitti. Erick is claimed to have received the support of 60 voters (voters) from 87 current PSSI voters. That support includes the CEO of Persis Solo Kaesang Pangarep and owner of Rans Nusantara FC Raffi Ahmad.
