TRIBUNNEWS.COM – PSSI President General (Ketum) Mochamad Iriawan or who is often referred to as Iwan Bule is finally willing to open his voice regarding the insistence on resigning from the post of PSSI President General.
It is known that the push to resign came after the Kanjuruhan tragedy that occurred after the soccer match between Arema FC and Persebaya Surabaya on October 1, 2022.
The Kanjuruhan tragedy has so far killed 135 people and injured hundreds of people.
According to Iwan Bule, resigning from the post of PSSI president is not a solution to resolving the Kanjuruhan tragedy.
Iwan also said that if he stepped down as PSI president, it would mean he would be a loser and a coward.
