JAKARTA: Indonesia on Saturday welcomed FIFA’s decision to end the country’s year-long ban from world football over government interference, saying it hoped for more transparency in the sport.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino announced Friday that Indonesia had been reinstated after Jakarta sent a letter notifying that it had lifted sanctions on national football body, the PSSI.
Indonesia has been without a national football competition for the better part of a year, after a feud between the PSSI and its sports ministry saw the top-grade tournament suspended.
