PSSI wants Eindhoven's best team

JAKARTA (JP): The Secretary-General of the All Indonesia
Soccer Association (PSSI), Soeparjo Pontjowinoto, hopes that the
Dutch First Division club PSV Eindhoven will send its best team
to Indonesia.

Eindhoven is scheduled by Philips Indonesia, which will
sponsor the club's trip to Indonesia, to take on some domestic
teams on June 5 in Jakarta and on June 9 in Surabaya, East Java.

"We don't know whether Eindhoven will field its key players or
second stringers. The sponsor still has to discuss that again
with the club," Soeparjo said after meeting with the finance
director of Philips Indonesia, W. Kamphuis, on Friday.

"If Eindhoven fields its best team, we should also prepare our
best team so that many people are interested in seeing the
match," Soeparjo said.

Eindhoven, presently ranking third in the Dutch League's First
Division standings, is strengthened by World Cup goalie Hans van
Breukelen and a number of other world-class booters, including
Wim Kieft.

Eindhoven's upcoming visit will be its second to Indonesia.
The first visit of the winner of the 1988 Champions Cup to
Jakarta was in 1988. (arf)
