INTRODUCTION
The Journey of Football Reform
KSN Malang
There were massive public demand from the PSSI club members and football stakeholders to launch
football reform as a response toward previous PSSI Leadership. The movement reached its peak on the
Extraordinary Congress of PSSI, 9 July 2011, that brought new leadership in PSSI and new initiatives
to build a professional football league without using government subsidy.

 PSSI EXTRAORDINARY CONGRESS
• Normalization Committee Chairman Agum Gumelar and Liga Primer Indonesia signed an MOU.
• Extraordinary Congress was held in Solo. The congress ends the long awaited of new leadership of PSSI.
• Djohar Arifin Husin and Farid Rahman were elected as the President and Vice President of PSSI 2011-2015,
along with 9 Executive Committee Members.
THE JOURNEY of FOOTBALL REFORM
 THE EMERGENCE OF
PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL
LEAGUE
PSSI has evaluated the professional football
league in the previous era was relying heavily
upon government subsidy. The Anti Corruption
Committee found out the indicative of bad-
1.8
practices (corruption) and some regions revealed
the budget for football clubs were not fair in
comparison to other public sector. These findings
are clearly contrary to the spirit of professional
clubs as stipulated in AFC Professional Club and
FIFA that should come as ‘commercial entity’ that
generates revenue from its business processes.
“Breach of transparency and accountability principles in management of gifts/grants from APBD (government
subsidy)” to the professional clubs (Anti Corruption Committee’s finding for ISL Clubs 2008 to 2010 fiscal year)
THE JOURNEY of FOOTBALL REFORM – Upholding the Integrity
 FINANCIAL REVIEW OF PSSI FINANCIAL SYSTEM 2009 - 2010
An international auditing firm, Deloitte, has assisted PSSI new leadership to conduct a financial review
toward PSSI financial system of the period 2009 and 2010. Deloitte’s main objective was reviewing
the Internal Control of financial and accounting, revenue, expenditure as well as fixed asset of PSSI that
referred to the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing by the Institute
of Internal Auditors (the IIA Standards). Deloitte found out the Internal Control for those areas were
categorized/classified as UNSATISFACTORY. The findings have also led new PSSI leadership to propose
better financial and accounting system that assures the best practices are in place for the betterment of
financial and accounting system of PSSI in the future.
 PT Liga Indonesia – No Audited Financial Report and Activities
PSSI new leadership demanded PT Liga Indonesia (LI) to submit its audited financial report and activities
for the Indonesian Super League (ISL). However LI declined the request, and claimed its shares had been
distributed to the football clubs. PSSI found out the Ministry of Law reconfirmed LI shareholders are still
99% belongs to PSSI, and there was no official shareholders meeting in pursuant to the Commercial Law.
PSSI was giving more chances and brought LI to a meeting with PSSI Executive Committee to start working
on the professional football league.
PSSI Statutes article 37 al.1.(i) “The PSSI Executive Committee shall decide the place, dates and the number of
participating clubs in the competition of PSSI.”
THE JOURNEY of FOOTBALL REFORM – The Emergence of IPL
•
The recent resistance of LI has brought PSSI Executive Committee to revoke its mandate as league governing
body. Based on PSSI Statutes article 79 al. 2. PSSI hence established a new league governing body, Liga
Prima Indonesia Sportindo (LPIS) that owned by PSSI and professional clubs
•
PSSI has also issued new competition regulations that granted 24 professional clubs to join the Indonesian
Premier League (IPL) that organized by LPIS.
THE JOURNEY of FOOTBALL REFORM – The Emergence of Breakaway League
Four Executive Committees, La Nyalla Mattalitti, Roberto Rouw, Erwin Dwi Budiawan and Tony Apriliani, pro-actively encouraged
PSSI members to support un-registered or illegal league, Indonesia Super League (ISL) under PT LI. PSSI has reported the
deliberate act of those Executive Committee to FIFA and AFC.
FIFA and AFC directive dated 21 December 2011 has ordered PSSI to control breakaway league. PSSI conducted gathering with
ISL clubs and also sent out delegates to explain FIFA and AFC directives to the breakaway clubs. By far the outcome was not
good and the breakaway clubs continue to launch its own league. Moreover these group of clubs set up ‘KPSI (Save Indonesian
Soccer Committee)
As a response toward those deliberate atcs, hence, the Disciplinary Committee of PSSI put sanctions against 32 professional
Clubs that participating in the breakaway league. Moreover, the Ethics Committee has also sanctioned the Four Executive
Committee members by permanent dismissal from PSSI and any activities of football in the domain of PSSI.
THE JOURNEY of FOOTBALL REFORM – The Joint Committee
“we wish you all the best in the
organization of the Congress and look
forward to receiving your report” (AFC
letter to PSSI dated 16 March 2012 signed
by Dato’ Alex Soosay, the General
Secretary)
A group of PSSI members demanded to have Extraordinary Congress and lodged in law suit against PSSI at Court for Arbitration
of Sport (CAS). PSSI has countered it, the claim was false and PSSI explained its effort to uphold the PSSI Statutes, eventually
CAS through its file number 2688 and 2736 declined the breakaway clubs demand and supported PSSI leadership to conduct
annual congress. AFC sent a letter to congratulate PSSI on the 2012 Annual Congress that was held in Central Kalimantan.
THE JOURNEY of FOOTBALL REFORM– Reconciliation Efforts
 The 5 Offers of PSSI toward ISL Clubs
1) PSSI will refer to AFC Club Licensing Regulation (CLR) as basis of selection for professional clubs. All
participating clubs will adhere to the CLR, however PSSI realizes the difficulties in regard to the current
status of its club members to fulfill highest level of compliance toward CLR. PSSI will always seek and
consult to AFC in order to assure all participating clubs will meet all criteria eventually.
2) PSSI propose a new brand for the highest strata of its professional competition, in the future it will no longer
use neither ISL nor IPL as the two brands will might create resistance from each participating clubs
in merging the two leagues into one.
3) PSSI has offered the best talent through merit system in selecting new CEO of the League Organizer,
the candidate should possess significant degree of experience in managing professional competition
and should have international network that enable PSSI to revive and rebuild a new professional league;
4) PSSI will allow ISL and IPL to finish up their current season toward the end of each league schedules.
Yet, PSSI must have full authority to control and manage ISL matches through assignment of its match officials.
5) PSSI will honor and respect the highest commercial bid as the winner of its main sponsor for
the new professional league.
THE JOURNEY of FOOTBALL REFORM – Reconciliation Effort
 Under the supervision of FIFA and AFC, 7 June 2012, PSSI and the breakaway clubs (ISL/KPSI)
signed Memorandum of Understanding that stipulates:
Each party must respectively undertake the following responsibilities:
1. The Four Expelled Members of PSSI Executive Committee

Dwi Budiawan and Tony Apriliani. However, the procedure of reinstatement will be established
by Joint PSSI Committee.
2. The Status of the ISL
ISL agrees to immediately come under the jurisdiction of PSSI, particularly with respect to disciplinary
matters, player administration and transfers, and appointment of match officials until one and only one top-tier
professional football league is established. Until such time, ISL may continue to operate autonomously.
3. The Status of KPSI
The parties agree that KPSI will be dissolved and cease to exist as a so-called national football governing
