The resignation of Edy Rahmayadi after only two years at the helm of the Soccer Association of Indonesia (PSSI) on Sunday marked another predicament beleaguering the country’s soccer authority. History shows that any change of guard within the PSSI in the last three decades rarely resulted in better performances from the national soccer team, even at the Southeast Asian level. Winning the Southeast Asian Games gold medal or the ASEAN Cup was the target of all the PSSI chairmen who were in office after 1991, including Edy, but the target has always been missed.
Indonesia, with a population of 255 million people, has never fallen short of human resources in soccer. Its abundance of talent helped it win the ASEAN Football Federation U-19 in 2013 and U-16 in 2018, a feat that has eluded the senior team. The last international accolade Indonesia won came in 1991 when it beat archrival Malaysia for the Southeast Asian Games soccer gold medal.
Many say the PSSI has been facing an acute problem of mismanagement, particularly in transforming and developing the huge potential of the millions of soccer talents across the sprawling archipelago into a team that can have a say in international competitions. There have been initiatives, breakthroughs or shortcuts to prop up the national team’s performance, but the results have failed to impress. Indonesia’s ranking has stagnated at 159 according to world soccer body FIFA as of December 2018. The largest Southeast Asian economy thus trails smaller ASEAN neighbors Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand and Myanmar. Vietnam tops the standings in Southeast Asia, joins the world top 100 and may climb higher after reaching the final eight of the Asian Cup now underway in Doha.
