JAKARTA, May 28 (Reuters) - Indonesia is optimistic of escaping a possible FIFA ban over an administrative row on Friday as soccer's world governing body finds itself embroiled in a massive scandal after its senior officials were arrested on bribery and corruption charges.
Indonesia is unlikely to meet Friday's deadline set by FIFA to resolve a dispute between the country's soccer association PSSI and the government over who is eligible to compete in the Indonesian Super League.
FIFA was expected to vote on Indonesia's future at a meeting in Zurich this week, but the agenda is now unclear following Wednesday's arrest of seven senior soccer officials on corruption charges.
