TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - General Chair of the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) Erick Thohir announced that the government has allocated Rp227 billion in financial support for the implementation of PSSI programs. This funding is set to be disbursed starting in January 2025.
“President Prabowo specifically informed me that the government budget for the PSSI program is ready for disbursement beginning January 2025. The Minister of Youth and Sports also confirmed that the funds are readily available,” Erick said in a written statement on Tuesday.
He expressed delight at this news, mentioning that President Prabowo Subianto has positively responded to the achievements of the national teams, including the senior squad, youth groups, and the women's team.
Erick explained that the government has increased the annual funding allocation for PSSI from Rp150 billion to Rp227 billion. The fund distribution will commence gradually in January 2025 with an initial disbursement of approximately Rp25 billion.
Although all PSSI programs are not dependent on the government, he highlighted that this increased support is invaluable and proves appreciation for the high level of performance achieved by Indonesian football. “Personally, I am extremely grateful,” he said.
He further elaborated that an estimated Rp 500-600 billion is required to finance all PSSI programs, including national team programs across all categories.

In addition to government support, PSSI has forged partnerships with 25 private sector entities, now serving as PSSI associates. These private-sector collaborations have generated approximately Rp400 billion in funding.
Erick announced that, with the combined budget from the government and private sector, PSSI will commence the implementation of new programs in January 2025 to further enhance performance.
These programs include long-term training camps for the Indonesian Women's National Team to prepare them for the AFF Women's Championship, a highly competitive tournament featuring teams like Thailand and Vietnam. Furthermore, preparations for the U-17 and U-20 national teams, who will compete in the 2025 Asian Cup, will be intensified.
