(Repeats fixing slug, no change to text) JAKARTA, April 18 (Reuters) - Indonesia's youth and sports ministry on Saturday suspended all activities of the local soccer association (PSSI), setting the stage for further tension with world governing body FIFA. The ministry and PSSI have been at loggerheads for weeks over the eligibility of two clubs to compete in the Indonesia Super League. The Indonesian Professional Sports Agency (BOPI), sanctioned by the ministry, wanted Persebaya Surabaya and Arema Indonesia to be blocked from playing, but PSSI had resisted. FIFA had threatened the country with a ban over BOPI's meddling in their affairs and said only the PSSI was recognised to make decisions.
