More than 56,600 members of the Facebook social network have joined a
petition demanding Nurdin Halid resign as chairman of the Indonesian Football
Association, for his failure to lift the performance of the Indonesian team.
As of Thursday morning, 56,624 people had joined the movement, tempointeraktif.com reported.
Some members said Nurdin was a convict who couldn’t lead the association,
while others said the national soccer team had made no notable achievements
during his tenure.
Last night, Indonesia won 2-1 against Malaysia in the second bout of the Asean
Football Federation (AFF) Cup finals, but failed to lift the trophy following a
3-0 loss to Malaysia in their first game.
