PSSI Has Communicated with EAFF About Transferring Federations
2022-08-06 04:38JAKARTA -- General Chairman of PSSIMochamad Iriawan admitted that he had communicated with the East Asian Football Federation (EAFF). This is related to the discourse of PSSI moving from the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) to EAFF.
"Yes, they (EAFF) have conveyed something through the Secretary General (PSSI Yunus Nusi). They are happy if we join there. However, we have to calculate first," said Iriawan at the Kemenpora Building, Jakarta, Tuesday (19/7/2022). ).
The man, who is familiarly called Iwan Bule, emphasized that it was impossible for PSSI to move federations just like that because there were many mechanisms that had to be passed, both internally and externally. Therefore, organizationally, Iwan said that his party must discuss everything, especially at the Executive Committee (Exco) level.
"We have to discuss it carefully and calculate the pros and cons," said Iwan.
The issue of PSSI moving from AFF to EAFF blew up after the alleged Indonesian U-19 national team was rigged during the 2022 AFF U-19 Cup. At that time, coach Shin Tae-yong's squad did not qualify for the semifinals because they lost head to head to Vietnam and Thailand.
The two teams were last called to play 1-1 in a match that was held at the same time as Indonesia's last party in Group A. The result made Vietnam-Thailand qualify for the top four as the two best teams in this group.
PSSI considers the Vietnam versus Thailand match not to uphold sportsmanship because the two teams did not try to score goals after the 1-1 draw. PSSI has submitted an official protest note to the AFF regarding this, accompanied by evidence including a video of the match and the upload of the Vietnam U-19 national team physical coach Le Cao Cuong on Instagram which states, "Vietnam-Thailand, 1-1, 75 minutes enemy, 15 minutes friends forever".
Seeing this situation, netizens voiced requests for PSSI to leave the AFF and move to another regional federation such as EAFF. EAFF, an organization that was founded on May 28, 2002, currently has 10 members, namely China, Taiwan, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Hong Kong, Guam, Macau, Mongolia, and the Northern Mariana Islands.
Just like AFF, EAFF also has several competitions such as the EAFF Cup, for men and women of various age levels, as well as futsal. As for the AFF, Indonesia plays an important role because it is one of the founding countries along with Brunei Darussalam, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, and Thailand. AFF was born on January 31, 1984.
