George Toisutta and Arifin Panigoro failed to
qualify for the chairmanship race of the Indonesian Soccer Association (PSSI),
the verification team announced Saturday.
Two other candidates, current chairman Nurdin Halid
and businessman Nirwan D. Bakrie, passed the verification test, the team said.
Toisutta and Arifin were widely deemed as figures of
reform for Indonesian soccer following the apparent failure of the country’s soccer
potential under the tenure of Nurdin Halid.
“Our reasons for disqualifying any candidate will be
sent to them privately. This is classified,” PSSI chairman election committee chief
Syarif Bastaman said.
He added that nominees with objections to the
decision could file an appeal.
