In its development, Atta Halilintar has stated that AHHA PS Pati FC will compete in Liga 2 in the 2021-2022 season.
Atta Halilintar’s statement is a question considering that AHHA PS Pati FC has not been registered with PSSI.
Now, the question has begun to be answered after the Deputy Regent of Pati Regency, Saiful Arifin, gave an explanation.

Saiful Arifin stated that AHHA PS Pati FC was formed after Atta Halilintar and Putra Siregar acquired the Liga 2 team, PSG Pati.
After officially cooperating, Saiful Arifin as President of PSG Pati immediately proposed changing the club name to AHHA PS Pati FC to PSSI.
As a result, AHHA PS Pati FC will later use the PSG Pati slot to navigate League 2 next season.
“Yes, indeed we have submitted the name (to PSSI). But for the decision how, everything is in the hands of PSSI because that is the prerogative of the federation,” said Saiful Arifin in a release received by Kompas.com, Saturday (12/6/2021). ).
“Of course later they will give us instructions,” said Saiful Arifin added.
In the current team structure after working with Atta Halilintar and Putra Siregar, Saiful Arifin is now listed as Commissioner of AHHA PS Pati FC.
On the other hand, Atta Halilintar and Putra Siregar are now the chairman or owners of AHHA PS Pati FC.

Furthermore, Saiful Arifin asked the residents of Pati Regency and PSG Pati supporters to continue to support AHHA PS Pati FC.
The man who is familiarly called Safin also hopes that the public will not question the change of PSG Pati’s name to AHHA PS Pati FC.
Because, Saiful Arifin assesses that AHHA PS Pati FC remains a representative of Pati Regency like PSG Pati.
“If I’m selfish, no think Pati, I could have chosen the name to be AHHA PS Safin. However, I sacrificed the name Safin so that Pati would be better known,” said Saiful Arifin.
“Atta Halilintar and Putra Siregar are digital marketers as well as reliable businessmen. Meanwhile, Safin, I have training ground and academies whose facilities are widely recognized are very good in Pati,” said Saifil Arifin.
“If the three of us collaborate, there’s certainly no harm in it,” added Safin.
Regarding the proposal to change the name of PSG Pati to AHHA PS Pati FC, Yunus Nusi as the Secretary General of PSSI previously gave an explanation.
Yunus Nusi stated that until now PSSI still recognizes the name PSG Pati in accordance with the results of the PSSI Congress in Jakarta in May 2021.
At the congress, PSG Pati, which was an abbreviation of Putra Sinar Giri, changed to Patin Safin of the Pati Group.

Now, after PSG Pati submitted a name change to AHHA PS Pati FC, Yunus Nusi said PSSI had not ratified it.
However, Yunus Nusi ensured that PSSI would accommodate PSG Pati’s request.
“Several logical reasons have been explained through the letter and we fully understand and understand the name change from PSG Pati to AHHA PSG Pati,” said Yunus Nusi, quoted from the official PSSI website, Friday (11/6/2021).
“We will immediately convey this to the Chairman of the PSSI and all members of the Executive Committee for consideration and policy,” said Yunus Nusi.
“PSSI will certainly pay attention to the main reason for PSG Pati to change its name due to considerations of financial aspects for the survival of the club in wading through this year’s competitive season,” said Yunus Nusi.
Although it has not been approved by PSSI, AHHA PS Pati FC through Atta Halilintar immediately set a promotion target to League 1.
This target is in line with the movement of AHHA PS Pati FC in the player transfer market.
Recently, AHHA PS Pati FC officially brought in two young players labeled the Indonesian national team, namely Nurhidayat Haris and Yudha Febrian.
