The Indonesian Soccer Association (PSSI) has threatened to impose sanctions on clubs and management of PSSI provincial branches whose representatives attend an Indonesian soccer grand meeting to be held on Sunday.
“We have distributed letters informing them that the meeting is not a PSSI program. If the meeting violates the statute, we will take action and there will be a sanction. We will let the discipline committee and the ethics committee handle it,” PSSI's legal director, Rudy Finantha, said Thursday, as quoted by tempo.co.
Initiators of the grand meeting said the event would be attended by representatives from 29 PSSI provincial branches who would gather to discuss and evaluate the performance of PSSI chairman Djohar Arifin, who is deemed to have breached the association's statute.
Rudy, however, denied that the meeting was supported by 29 provincial branches, arguing instead that the representatives planning to attend the meeting were not members of the branch management.
“Even if they were part of the management, they have no right to represent the province,” he said.
As previously reported, some members of the PSSI had planned to organize an Indonesian soccer grand meeting as an early step toward a PSSI extraordinary congress, which could effectively lead to the discharge of the association's current chairman.
