The mission of the PSSI Normalization Committee is to organize elections based on the FIFA electoral code and PSSI statutes before May 21, 2011; to bring the run-away league under PSSI control or have it stopped as soon as possible; to run the day-to-day activities of PSSI in a spirit of reconciliation for the good of Indonesian football.
"Thierry Regenass (FIFA`s Director of Member Associations and Development) called me last night asking if I am willing to lead the PSSI Normalization Committee. I said yes," Agum said here on Tuesday.
He said the committee would take over PSSI`s management from Nurdin Halid until the election of a new chairman of the organization.
According to the official website of FIFA posted last April 4, the FIFA Emergency Committee decided on April 1,2011 that, in accordance with article 7 paragraph 2 of the FIFA Statutes, a Normalization Committee would take over from the current PSSI executive committee.
The FIFA Emergency Committee stated that the current PSSI leadership was not in control of football in Indonesia as proven by its failure to gain control of the run-away league (Liga Premier or LPI) set up without the involvement of PSSI or by the fact it could not organize a congress whose sole goals were to adopt an electoral code and elect an electoral commission.
The FIFA Emergency Committee came thus to the conclusion that the PSSI leadership had lost all credibility within Indonesia and was not in a position anymore to lead the process to solve the current crisis.
The mission of the Normalization Committee is: to organize elections based on the FIFA electoral code and PSSI statutes before 21 May 2011; to bring the run-away league under PSSI control or have it stopped as soon as possible; to run the day-to-day activities of PSSI in a spirit of reconciliation for the good of the Indonesian football
The Normalization Committee is composed by personalities of the Indonesian football who will not be able to run for any of the PSSI positions and would act as an electoral commission. It confirmed as well the non-eligibility to the Presidency of PSSI of the four candidates who were rejected by the PSSI appeal committee on 28 February 2011.(*)
