FIFA VP asks Agum about ban on Arifin, George nomination

World soccer body FIFA Vice President Prince Ali bin Al Hussein has asked Indonesian Soccer Association (PSSI) Normalization Committee chairman (KN) Agum Gumelar about a ban on the Arifin Panigoro and George Toisutta nomination as PSSI chairman.

Prince Ali and Agum met in Jakarta on Tuesday.

“He [Prince Ali] implicitly asked me why Arifin and George were not allowed to run for PSSI chairman. I laughed at the question and said it was a FIFA decision. He was surprised with my answer,” Agum said as quoted by tribunnews.com

"KN will always obey a FIFA decision. If FIFA changes its decision, KN will follow,” he added.

Agum, however, said he could not predict whether there would be a revision by FIFA about the Arifin-George candidacy.
