Indonesian FA given 'one last chance'
Indonesia is still on thin ice with FIFA after they were given an extension to 
June 30 to organise committee elections for their football association (PSSI).

FIFA said it had given the PSSI "one last chance" in granting an extension to 
organise elections whilst also fulfilling other regulations under FIFA statutes 
and code of practices.

FIFA remains adamant that Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Toisutta, oil tycoon 
Arifin Panigoro and former PSSI officials Nirwan Bakrie and Nurdin Halid remain 
banned from the June election, and that the breakaway league (Liga Premiere, 
LPI) be brought back under control of the PSSI, which was set up without the 
involvement of PSSI.

Agum Gumelar, chairman of the PSSI's normalisation committee, will be grateful 
Indonesia has not received a suspension, though he knows the federation may 
still face sanctions if it does not meet the deadline.

"They told us that the PSSI must hold an election before June 30," Agum told 
the Jakarta Globe. "I hope that this time we will have an election and finally 
put an end to the leadership crisis in the PSSI."

The extension means that Indonesia will still be able to vote in the FIFA 
Congress which takes place tomorrow, even though some Asian delegates have left 
Zurich in protest at the treatment of former AFC President Mohamed Bin Hammam 
who was suspended after allegations of bribery.
