The PSSI Disciplinary Commission has imposed a heavy sanction on PSM Makassar Captain Yuran Fernandes, namely a one-year playing ban.
Heavy sanctions were imposed on Yuran as a result of his criticism of Indonesian football after his team lost 1-3 to PSS Sleman in the continuation of BRI Liga 1, Saturday (3/5) evening.
Quoting from the upload from the official PSM Makassar account, Friday, the Tanjung Varde player received a very severe sanction from the PSSI Disciplinary Committee, namely a 1-year playing ban."From the results of the PSSI Disciplinary Committee hearing, Yuran Fernandes was considered to have violated article 59 paragraph 2 in conjunction with article 141 of the PSSI Disciplinary Code in 2023."
"Mr. Yuran Fernandes Rocha Lopes has been given a sanction of being banned from carrying out activities in Indonesian football for 12 months since this decision was issued," read the statement from the PSSI Disciplinary Committee.
This means that the punishment will be effective starting against Malut United at BJ Habibie Stadium, Parepare on Saturday (10/5) at 16.30 WITA. Not only the ban from playing, Yuran was also fined Rp25 million.
"Repeat of the above violations will result in heavier penalties," the statement continued.
This tough decision from the PSSI Disciplinary Committee is very regrettable for PSM. PSM also emphasized that they will file an appeal regarding the PSSI Disciplinary Committee's decision.
