Futsal feast with Ronny Pattinasarani

JAKARTA (JP): If your kids have so much energy on the weekends
that it leaves you rattled, you may want to take them to a nearby
McDonald's fast food restaurant and register for a one-day futsal
game with former Indonesian soccer star Ronny Pattinasarani and
other soccer players.

The 'McFutsal with Ronny Pattinasarani' program is being
organized by the futsal team of the Soccer Association of
Indonesia (PSSI) and McDonald's Indonesia, and is aimed at
promoting futsal to the wider community before the 2002 Asian
Futsal Championships, which will be hosted by Indonesia.

"With the 'McFutsal with Ronny Pattinasarani' campaign, we
have started a crash program as suggested by the Asian Football
Confederation (AFC) and PSSI to popularize the sport to
everybody, particularly youngsters," said BS Dharma, McDonald's
Indonesia director of marketing and communication.

The program, which is targeting the elementary school and
junior high school students, is currently available in the
Greater Jakarta area. (ivy)
