Executive Committee Member PSSI Hasani Abdulgani gave a response about when Mees Hilgers and Ragnar Oratmangoen can be costumed Indonesian National team.
According to Hasani, the chances of both players defending the Red and White Team depend on the period of the documents provided.
One thing is for sure Exco PSSI, Hilgers and Oratmangoen will not be able to play in the AFF U-23 Cup which will take place in February.

“It’s too tight, sir,” Hasani told CNNIndonesia.com, Wednesday (5/1) when asked about Hilgers’ chances of appearing in the U-23 AFF Cup.
