JAKARTA (JP): The Youth and Sports Development Foundation
presented on Wednesday a Rp 50 million (US$6,700) donation to the
All Indonesian Soccer Federation (PSSI) to help it finance
competitions for elementary school students.

Assistant to the State Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports
Amrum Bustaman said PSSI was chosen as the recipient of the funds
due to the fact that it shows greater concern for youths than
other sports organizations.

The foundation is controlled by the Office of the State
Minister of Youth Affairs and Sport. It provided the money PSSI
needed to send the national team to the Tiger Cup in Vietnam in
August.

PSSI secretary-general Nugraha Besoes said after receiving the
donation that the national soccer body had yet to set the dates
for the school competitions. (yan)
