Indonesian football governance and conduct issues

Overview

The Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) has addressed various issues regarding player conduct and supporter behavior. Following Indonesia’s 0-3 loss to Vietnam in the ASEAN Cup 2026, naturalized player Justin Hubner engaged in social media disputes regarding Vietnamese players’ celebrations. This resulted in intense online exchanges and personal threats against Hubner, prompting PSSI General Secretary Yunus Nusi to advise players to exercise restraint in their social media activity.

Separately, PSSI Chairman Erick Thohir issued warnings to supporters ahead of a high-stakes Super League match between Persija Jakarta and Persib Bandung. Citing the Kanjuruhan Tragedy, Thohir emphasized that club rivalries must not lead to violence, noting that such incidents damage Indonesia’s international reputation and risk FIFA sanctions. He confirmed an agreement with the Indonesian National Police to pursue the heaviest legal consequences for any provocation or violence.
