FIFA lifts suspension on Indonesia

REUTERS — Indonesia’s suspension from international soccer for government interference in the country’s soccer federation has ended after almost a year, FIFA president Gianni Infantino announced on Friday.

However, the FIFA Congress confirmed the existing suspensions for Kuwait and Benin over government interference in their soccer associations. Infantino told delegates the decision on Indonesia, one of Asia’s biggest soccer markets, was taken by the FIFA Council after the government agreed to lift a decree considered to constitute unacceptable interference in the soccer federation.

“The government of Indonesia has advised us that the decree that was causing the suspension had been lifted,” said Infantino. FIFA stepped in to ban the country in June after a long-running row between the government and the local soccer association (PSSI) over which teams should be entered into the top flight domestic league. The government suspended the PSSI after they ignored requests to ban two teams whose owners failed to meet their new governance regulations.

FIFA, after repeated warnings to resolve the row, then banned the country, ruling them out of the joint 2018 World Cup and 2019 Asian Cup qualifying campaign Infantino added that the cases involving Kuwait and Benin would be resolved swiftly. “I’m very sad to be here and have to propose to you that we suspend two associations,” said Infantino. “On the other hand, we need to protect our associations from government interference, it is one of our major tasks.”
