The Indonesian Soccer Association (PSSI) threatened to take the Indonesian Premier League (LPI) to court for alleged violations of the national sports law, if the league continues to hold soccer matches.
According to association's secretary-general, Nugraha Besoes, LPI and the three soccer clubs that pulled out of the Indonesian Super League (ISL) had violated the 2005 Law on the National Sports System.
“Anyone who holds a sports competition without receiving a recommendation from the related sports association is liable to a maximum of two years’ imprisonment and / or fines of up to Rp 1 billion (US$ 111, 000)," Nugraha said Monday, as quoted by tribunnews.com.
The clubs that have pulled out of the ISL are PSM Makassar from Sulawesi, Persibo Bojonegoro and Persema from Malang.
He added that the PSSI would also impose sanctions on the three clubs and would request overseas soccer associations to not send members to matches other than those held by PSSI.
