Indonesian official to meet FIFA amid crisis

An Indonesian football association official will meet FIFA this week to try to persuade the body not to impose sanctions over the running of the game in the Asian nation, he said Saturday. Indonesia is expected to be punished by FIFA for failing to resolve a leadership crisis in its football body, known as the PSSI, or take control of a newly established breakaway league.
The PSSI failed to elect a new leadership panel last week ahead of a deadline set by FIFA, leaving the sport's administration in turmoil and the country of 240 million people facing a ban from the international game.
