The Commission for the Supervision of Business Competition (“KPPU”) recently summoned Roy Suryo, the current Minister of Youth and Sports, to provide statements regarding complaints over the management and broadcasting rights for football matches in Indonesia.
Mohammad Reza, Head of the Law and Public Relations and Cooperation Department at the KPPU, explained that the Minister was summoned in order to determine the Government’s role and stance related to contentions over broadcasting rights for Indonesian football matches.
Mr. Reza, however, emphasized that the complaints were in regard to the Indonesian Super League (ISL) and the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) and not the Minister himself.
“PSSI is under the Minister. We need the opinions of the highest man who is the Minister himself,” said Mr. Reza.
Both the ISL and PSSI, according to Mr. Reza, are violating Article 15 of Law No. 5 of 1999on the Prohibition of Monopolistic Practices and Unfair Business Competition (Antitrust Law). The basis for this accusation is primarily because the ISL and PSSI have entered into an agreement to ban players from the Indonesia Premier League (IPL) joining the PSSI.
According to Mr. Reza, this could promote unfair business competition where potential IPL players are deterred from playing for the national team. In addition to an agreement on player recruitment, the KPPU suspects another agreement on broadcasting rights may exist.
The broadcasting rights for ISL are held by Bakrie Viva Sport (BV Sport). BV Sport will produce all live broadcasts of ISL matches, and provide the MNC Group and the Viva Group with terrestrial broadcasting rights for matches.
Principally, Mr. Reza continues, exclusive broadcasting rights are lawful, provided that they are acquired and carried out in accordance with prevailing requirements. The KPPU suspects that this is not the case with respect to the exclusive broadcasting rights for Indonesian football matches.
“It seems likely there’s something being set up here. Football is loved by the Indonesian community and because of that, it cannot be dominated by one person,” Mr. Reza asserted.
After the examination, Roy Suryo expressed his appreciation to the KPPU in following up reports from the general public.
“We fully encourage what is being done by the KPPU so that no one is aggrieved,” he asserted.
Roy Suryo indicated that the KPPU investigator had given him a total of 12 questions, which were centered around the PSSI unification process, the Rescue Indonesia Football Committee (Komite Penyelamat Sepakbola Indonesia), as well as the Government’s role in sports.
