Indonesia makes shocking announcement after inviting Argentina to play friendly match

Recently, PSSI officially confirmed a friendly match with the Argentine team on June 19.

President Erick Thohir (right) announced that he will invite major football teams in the world to play friendly matches.

However, not stopping there, the PSSI president also announced that he will continue to plan to invite major football teams in the world to test their skills.

“We will play friendly matches with big teams during the FIFA Days next year.

I have contacted several federations and received positive responses from Morocco, Brazil, Portugal and Russia. However, we will only choose our opponents each year.

For too long, Indonesian football has not been trusted and respected by the world. It is time for us to change that,” Mr. Erick Thohir declared.

Returning to the friendly match with the Argentine team, this is the first time in history that a Southeast Asian team has competed with the reigning World Cup champion.

But to receive the nod from the blue and white team, PSSI is said to have to spend up to 5 million euros (about 117 billion VND).

However, the heads of Indonesian football affirmed that this number is not high and is within their ability to pay.

Besides, PSSI believes that the match with Argentina will help the players learn more experience and be more confident in big matches in the future.

But according to research, Indonesia is still uncertain about the appearance of top Argentine football stars like Messi or Di Maria in the upcoming friendly match.
