Analysis of Good Governance Implementation Based on National Sports Governance Observer (NSGO) in Indonesian Futsal Federation

Abstract

As a recipient of state budget (APBN) funding, the Indonesian Futsal Federation (FFI) is legally classified as a Non-Government Public Body under Law Number 14 of 2008, and is required to apply good governance principles under Article 80 Paragraph (1) of Law Number 11 of 2022 concerning Sports. However, national futsal achievements have not been matched by governance readiness, as FFI's Chairman has publicly acknowledged that strengthening organizational functions remains an unfinished task. This study aims to analyze the level of good governance implementation at FFI based on the National Sports Governance Observer (NSGO) framework, identify the compliance gaps and their underlying factors, and formulate strategic recommendations for governance improvement. A qualitative single case study approach was employed, with data collected through semi-structured interviews with three key informants and documentation studies, then analyzed using the NSGO framework as a qualitative codebook contextualized with the General Guidelines for Indonesian Public Sector Governance (PUG-SPI). The results show that FFI achieved an overall governance index score of 55%, categorized as "Moderate," with the Internal Accountability and Control dimension recording the lowest score (46%) compared to Transparency (56%), Democratic Processes (58%), and Societal Responsibility (58%). This gap is primarily driven by four factors, namely limited understanding of formal governance standards, human resource constraints, organizational transition periods, and the sensitivity of individual remuneration information, indicating that FFI's governance challenges stem more from organizational capacity and cultural factors than from an unwillingness to comply. Based on these findings, strategic recommendations were formulated and summarized into seven thematic clusters to guide governance improvement at FFI and serve as a reference for other sports federations.
