Indonesian football player wage disputes

Overview

The Indonesian Professional Footballers Association (APPI) has reported widespread wage arrears across the country’s football leagues. Initially, the association revealed that 28 clubs, ranging from Liga 1 to Liga 4, owed approximately Rp14.8 billion to 303 players. The APPI identified several clubs with outstanding debts, including PSM Makassar, Semen Padang, and PSIS Semarang, and advocated for a ‘zero tolerance’ policy regarding club licensing to protect player rights.

Following these reports, the APPI escalated its demands by formally requesting that league operators prohibit PSBS Biak from competing in the current Championship season. The association cited management negligence regarding unpaid salaries totaling over Rp2.2 billion spanning two seasons, alleging the club has ignored previous decisions from FIFA’s DRC and Indonesia’s NDRC.
