Asked about the cost of inviting the Argentina national team to FIFA Matchday, Erick Thohir: Don’t believe in PSSI?

Furthermore, Erick Thohir also explained the reasons for the Argentina National Team’s willingness to test the strength of the Garuda squad in the country.

According to him, the success of the Red and White team in winning the 2023 SEA Games gold medal also played an important role behind the Albiceleste’s decision. Moreover, Indonesia has been known as a football-loving country.

“If the Argentine team wants to play for us, it’s ugly like this to win the SEA Games. That’s seen by Argentina. What does that mean, we can position ourselves as the best country in Southeast Asia at the moment. So just enjoy it first. This is a great opportunity,” said Erick.

“This is truly a pure cooperation that is mutually beneficial. Argentina sees that Indonesia is also a country with number one football, where 73 percent of the population is crazy about football,” continued the chairman of PSSI in a press conference at SUGBK, Wednesday (24/5/2023) .
