JAKARTA (JP): About 100 coaches and referees attended the
futsal coaching clinic, which was jointly held by the futsal team
of the Soccer Association of Indonesia (PSSI) and McDonald's
Indonesia at Padjadjaran sports hall in Bandung from Thursday to
Saturday.

The number of participants sets a new record for the number of
coaches and referees to take part in such a clinic. Previous
events in Jakarta attracted 44 participants, Surabaya, 61,
Denpasar, 80, and Purwokerto, 57. The clinic will be followed by
a futsal exhibition match between local Persib players and former
soccer players from West Java.

"As one of the centers of soccer development, Bandung does not
want to be left behind in the futsal campaign," said Risnandar,
chief organizer and former Persib's head coach.

Community marketing manager of the national futsal's main
sponsor McDonald's Indonesia, Cepi S. Husada, said that the
clinic was aimed at netting talented futsal players. "We want the
community in Bandung and other provinces in Indonesia to love
sport. We are sure that futsal can unite brotherhood through
sportsmanship," he said. (ivy)
