INDONESIAN football chiefs and the government were locked in a standoff last Saturday as the sports ministry sought to oust the current football association, in an escalating row that risks provoking fresh anger from Fifa.

The ministry announced it was suspending the football association, the PSSI, and would replace it, angered by the body's decision this month to halt the domestic league.
