The 12th Player Controversy: PT LIB Misinterprets PSSI Disciplinary Committee's Sanctions, Returns 3 Points to PSM
The Indonesian Football League (PT LIB) has sparked controversy by misinterpreting the sanctions imposed by the PSSI Disciplinary Committee (Komdis) regarding the 12th player incident involving PSM Makassar.
Komdis had initially deducted 3 points from PSM for fielding an ineligible player in their match against Persib Bandung. However, PT LIB has since reversed this decision, returning the points to PSM.
This move has drawn criticism from various parties, including Persib Bandung and the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI). They argue that PT LIB has overstepped its authority by overriding the Komdis's decision.
The controversy has raised questions about the integrity of the Indonesian football league and the role of PT LIB in enforcing disciplinary measures. It remains to be seen how this issue will be resolved and what impact it will have on the league's credibility.
