Indonesian Soccer Association (PSSI) chairman Nurdin Halid says he is ready to run for a third term in office at the elections scheduled to take place during the upcoming PSSI congress in March.

“If [PSSI] executives still support me, I will definitely nominate myself at the upcoming PSSI Congress in March,” said Nurdin as quoted by Antara on Thursday in Ternate, after inaugurating new members of the executive board of PSSI's North Maluku branch.

He added that he had received letters voicing support.

Despite controversy surrounding Nurdin’s implication in several graft cases, he has been serving as PSSI chairman since 2003.

He is currently serving his second term in office and, if re-elected in March, will lead the association for a third time for the 2011-2015 term.
