Jakarta (B2B) - Presiden Federation International Football Association (FIFA) Sepp Blatter menyatakan bahwa negara-negara di Asia secara penuh mendukung Persatuan Sepak Bola Seluruh Indonesia (PSSI) untuk tidak dijatuhi sanksi. FIFA akan memberi dukungan kepada PSSI sebagai anggota resmi FIFA.
"Petinggi FIFA sangat prihatin atas pelaksanaan kongres PSSI di Palangkaraya. Mereka heran karena organisasi resmi justru diperlakukan seperti itu. Apalagi utusan yang mereka kirim untuk menjadi peninjau hadir di Palangkaraya," kata Ketua Umum PSSI Djohar Arifin seperti dikutip Hubungan Masyarakat (Humas) PSSI.
Sebelumnya diberitakan, Djohar Arifin berada di Tokyo, Jepang untuk melobi pimpinan FIFA, Kamis pagi, dan berhasil melakukan pembicaraan dengan Sepp Blatter.
Setelah bertemu FIFA, lanjut Djohar, Delegasi PSSI juga menemui Presiden Uni Europe Football Association (UEFA) Micheal Platini. Hasilnya cukup menggembirakan karena mantan bintang lapangan hijau asal Prancis ini pun berjanji membantu Indonesia dalam rapat Exco FIFA pada Jumat (14/12), agar terhindar dari sanksi.
Jakarta (B2B) - President of FIFA, Sepp Blatter, states that countries in Asia fully support PSSI not to be sanctioned. FIFA will also endorse PSSI as its official member.
“FIFA is concerned about PSSI congress in Palangkaraya. They do not understand why a formal institution is treated that way. Moreover, the delegation that it sent to be reviewer also attended the meeting in Palangkaraya,” said Chair of PSSI, Djohar Arifin, as quoted by Public Relations of PSSI.
Previously it was reported that Djohar was in Tokyo to lobby President of FIFA on Thursday morning and he successfully talked to Sepp Blatter.
After the meeting, Djohar continued, the delegation also met President of UEFA, Michel Platini. The result is satisfying because the former soccer star from France then promises to help Indonesia in FIFA Exco meeting on Friday (14/12) to avoid sanctions from FIFA.
