Nurdin Halid, who is no longer recognized by world soccer authority FIFA as the chairman of the Indonesian Soccer Association (PSSI), on Thursday plans to file a lawsuit against Youth and Sports Affairs Minister Andi Mallarangeng for the latter's decision to freeze the PSSI executive committee and its office.

"We will file our suit at the State Administrative Court today," PSSI lawyer Sitor Situmorang from the Indra Sahnun Lubis Law Firm said Thursday as quoted by tribunnews.com.

Sitor also said the PSSI had also reported Persebaya 1927 chairman Saleh Iskandar Mukadar to the police for defamation against Nurdin Halid, Nugroho Besoes and Nirwan Bakrie.

He said Saleh had issued a statement that the PSSI was only being used in the interests of the 2014 presidential election, and was only being managed by the trio Nurdin, Nugraha and Nirwan.
