Why Indonesia is betting on Infantino
The PSSI's support comes as FIFA's leadership faces growing dissent, but Indonesia sees value in staying close to the center of global soccer power.
Indonesia is putting its faith in FIFA President Gianni Infantino, despite opposition to his leadership within the global soccer organization. The country's Soccer Association of Indonesia (PSSI) reaffirmed its support for Infantino, highlighting his leadership and FIFA's contributions to soccer development in Indonesia.
