Gavin Kwan, a new hope for indonesian football..

One of the future star for Indonesia football, Gavin Kwan Adsit, has finally put his contract to one of the biggest club in Rumania,CFR Cluj. This is one of Gavin's dreams to play in Europe. His dream has come true. 

The 17th years old player will sign his contract on July 14 this month. The club, CFR Cluj is one of the European Champion League contestant in season 2012/ 2013. 

Actually, Gavin is one of the many fabulous talents in Indonesia, we're still have Andik V, Boaz,,but sadly they have no passion and eager to play in Europe, even to play in other Asean country..

It's too bad,,,

more foreign player in the national squad

The success from Cristian "El loco" Gonzales in the national team has brought the second change to the foreign player with European descent to use the jersey of the Indonesian national team. The latest news come from three youngster: Arthur Irawan, James Zaidan Saragih, and Andreas Bitar. Arthur is pure Indonesian who play for amateur club in England (Lytham Town) and James is an Indo-American who plays for New York Cosmos (MLS). While Andrea Bittar is pure foreigner, because his parents has been living for more than 15 years, so he initiate to attempt the national team qualification. Andrea plays for FC Cannes. I don't really sure where is the club located.

The decision to choose the player base in the head coach's rule. I hope the PSSI do not make any intervention at all.

can indonesia win The AFF Suzuki Cup ?

In the early 90's, Indonesia NT was one of the powerhouse in the ASEAN region, the only competitor for the Thai's squad. The last history was the gold medal in Sea Games Jakarta 1990, after that nothing was happened. Many people said that in Nurdin Halid regime, the Indonesia NT is getting worse and worse. In the AFF Suzuki Cup (formerly known as Tiger Cup), Indonesia achieved second places in 2000, 2002, and 2004. Now, people do not hope too much for it, they now being a champion is too difficult.

Hamka and Gonzales gives indonesia more firepower...........

Indonesia have recalled defender Hamka Hamzah and included striker Christian Gonzales in their plans for the first time ahead of the AFF Suzuki Cup in December. 

Hamzah has been rewarded for a bright start to the season with Persipura Jayapura while Gonzales, a Uruguayan national, has opted to play for Indonesia after going through a naturalisation programme. Gonzales adds more firepower to a line-up that includes regular strikers Bambang Pamungkas and Boaz Solossa. 



He began his professional career in Indonesia in 2003 and made an immediate impact by topping the scoring table with 27 goals while helping PSM Makassar to a second-place finish in the league. Currently, he plays for Persib.

Indonesia are finalising details for three more warm-up matches ahead of the AFF Suzuki Cup. They have penciled in friendlies against AFF Suzuki Cup qualifiers the Philippines on November 16, Hong Kong on November 21 and Chinese Taipei three days later.

The Indonesians, who have never won the Asean Championship, host three-time champions Thailand, Malaysia and Laos in Group A from December 1-8.

For Cristian "El Loco" Gonzales, it's a long journey to get a chance to play with country where his wife and children's belongs. No one can argue his capability to be a destroyer, he has scored more than 200 goals since he played firstly in PSM Makasar.He made a history with Persik Kediri to win the champion in 2005- 2008 year season. El Loco lost his father and he preferred not to back home to his country to gain nationality from Indonesia.
While Irfan Bachdim is a Indo- Holland player, he spent his youth career in FC Utrecht junior in Holland, but failed to make a regular play in the first team. Then he moved to HFC Harlem in the lower division, due to the bankruptcy he'd been released by the club. When he played for charity game in Malang and Surabaya, Timmo Scheuneman, Persema coach interested to sign him. Now he plays regularly in Persema, and scored 3 goals so far.
