New Indonesian Football Chairman

Djohar Arifin Husin, a former deputy youth and sports minister, is serving as the deputy secretary-general of the “normalization committee” appointed by football’s world governing body, FIFA, to attempt to sort out the mess that is Indonesian football.

Fortunately, he won his fierce rival, Agusman Effendi, who was the acting chairman of the association, known as the PSSI, from 2004 to 2006, when disgraced former chairman Nurdin Halid was in jail because of a corruption conviction.If Agusman won, Indonesian people would see no many changes because he is a status quo person. He have worked under Nurdin Halid era.

Djohar Arifin believed will bring Indonesian football to the glory again. He titled as professor. His full name Profesor Dr. Ir. Djohar Arifin Husin. He ever been a football player for PSMS Medan in the early 70s and become a champion in 1975. He also ever been a referee, hold as chairman in PSSI (Indonesian Football Association) and KONI (National Olympics Committee of Indonesia) in North Sumatera. He was a Secretary General when Agum Gumelar chairman of KONI.

Now, Indonesian people will be relieve they have new PSSI chairman. Hopefully Djohar will meet the expectation of hundred million of Indonesian. :)
