Erick Thohir, the President of the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI), has made a strong statement against match fixing in Indonesian football. In a recent video message, Thohir urged all stakeholders in the sport to work together to eradicate this harmful practice from the game.
Match fixing is a serious issue that has plagued football for many years. It undermines the integrity of the sport and erodes the trust of fans, players, and officials. Thohir emphasized the importance of maintaining fair play and ensuring that matches are decided on the field, not in backroom deals.
Thohir’s message comes at a crucial time for Indonesian football, as the sport continues to grow in popularity and importance. With the upcoming Liga Indonesia season on the horizon, it is essential that steps are taken to prevent match fixing and uphold the values of honesty and sportsmanship.
Thohir’s call to action is a reminder that tackling match fixing requires a collective effort from all involved in the sport. Players, coaches, officials, and fans must all play a role in reporting suspicious behavior and holding accountable those who seek to corrupt the game.
As the leader of PSSI, Thohir has a responsibility to ensure that Indonesian football is free from corruption and remains a source of pride for the country. By speaking out against match fixing and urging action to prevent it, Thohir is demonstrating his commitment to upholding the values of fair play and integrity in the sport.
It is now up to all stakeholders in Indonesian football to heed Thohir’s call and work together to root out match fixing and ensure that the beautiful game is played with honesty and transparency. Only by standing united against corruption can Indonesian football continue to thrive and inspire future generations of players and fans.
