AirAsia Group CEO Tony Fernandes, who has just moved from Kuala Lumpur to Jakarta, has been asked to get involved in Indonesian football.

The owner of the Queens Park Rangers (QPR) club of England said he was, in fact, offered to buy an Indonesian football club.

"I am interested, it's an honour that people even ask me to get involved in Indonesian football.

"So, let's wait and see, it's interesting," he said during an interview after the launch of AirAsia Asean, the regional base office in Jakarta yesterday.

Fernandes, however, refused to name the Indonesian club that was offered for sale.

According to a foreign press report, Fernandes' Tune Group bought a 66 per cent stake in the QPR club last year from Formula One chief Bernie Ecclestone and his partner Flavio Briatore, with the balance retained by steel billionaire Lakshmi Mittal's family.

The deal was worth 35 million pounds.
