Indonesia's Football Federation (PSSI) remains in limbo, awaiting the appointment of its new president as the scheduled meeting to discuss the organization's future hangs in the balance.
The PSSI's board of directors was set to convene on Monday to tackle pressing issues, including the country's football governance and the governing body's financial woes. However, with no clear candidate in sight to take the reins, it appears that the meeting has been put on hold indefinitely.
At the center of the crisis is a vacancy in the presidency position, which was left vacant after the resignation of previous president Mochamad Iriawan in August last year. The PSSI's board had initially set a deadline for submitting nominations by mid-September, but no candidate has yet come forward to fill the role.
The delay has raised concerns among football stakeholders about the organization's ability to tackle pressing issues, including its financial struggles and governance reforms. The situation is further complicated by power struggles between factions within the PSSI, which appear to be at odds over the direction of the organization.
As the PSSI teeters on the brink of chaos, one name has emerged as a potential candidate for the top job: Patrick Kluivert's associate, former football administrator, and current PSSI executive committee member, Bambang Sutanto. However, it remains unclear whether he will be able to unite the fractured factions within the organization or if the PSSI will continue to languish in limbo.
The delay has raised questions about the ability of Indonesia's football governing body to deliver on its promises and tackle the challenges facing the sport in the country. With the future of Indonesian football hanging in the balance, time is running out for the PSSI to get back on track.
