Embattled Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) chairman Nurdin Halid announced on Tuesday he would not only run for PSSI chairman for the 2011-2015 term, but also for top spot in the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF).
Nurdin said he would compete with two candidates from Malaysia and Thailand for the AFF chairmanship.
“[My] candidacy has been announced by the AFF committee. The election is slated for April 10,” Nurdin said, as quoted by tribunnews.com during a hearing with House Commission X.
The former graft convict asked for the blessing of members of the commission, adding that he would work hard to win the position.
Nurdin said that previously he had attempted to gain a position in the Asian football governing body, the Asian Football Confederation, but had failed.
“I failed because I didn't work on it. But, for the coming position [in the AFF}, I hope to succeed.”
