\nWhere will the FIFA be based, Sir?<\/p>\n
\nWe will prepare it immediately.<\/p>\n
\nHow long will FIFA stay in Indonesia? And what is their main target?<\/p>\n
\nDid you discuss the recommendations of the Fact-Finding Team?<\/p>\n
\nNo, it is our internal issue.<\/p>\n
\nIs there time limit for the transformation process?<\/p>\n
\nThe FIFA said that it will stay here for quite a long time.<\/p>\n
\nWill the PSSI be invited to the meeting?<\/p>\n
\nIt is between the FIFA and the PSSI. What I discuss now is between the FIFA and the Government.<\/p>\n
\nIt was said earlier that there are 10 stadiums prepared for the U-20s. The FIFA President said that the investment would come from the Indonesian Government only or would there be cooperation with other party, Sir?<\/p>\n
\nOne of the recommendations from the Fact-Finding team is related to when the (Chairperson of) the PSSI be replaced. Have you received this information?<\/p>\n
\nNo. It is our internal issue. The work scope between the Government and the FIFA is not about that. That\u2019s all.<\/p>\n
