Match19 Aug 2026

Cup progress for Persija

A 0‑0 win over PSIM, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Both of them Alexander Jeremejeff's — 8.81

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.81, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Carlos Eduardo wins the shoot-out

1 kept out from twelve yards, and a stadium that will describe each of them for twenty years. A goalkeeper needs one night like this in a career, and this was it.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

A defender's goal wins it for Persija — 7.53

1 for Stjepan Lončar, marked 7.53, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Market24 Aug 2026

Persija turn down PSM for Dony Tri Pamungkas

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Boardroom24 Aug 2026

Persija go back to the board over Valdeci

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $844.7K — a club that wants Valdeci enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Persija baulk at the price for Valdeci

Arema wanted more than $780.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Match22 Aug 2026

Alexander Jeremejeff among the goals in a wild afternoon

6 goals in one match, Alexander Jeremejeff on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Persija and Borneo.

Match22 Aug 2026

Alexander Jeremejeff sends Persija past Borneo

It finished 4‑2, and it was Alexander Jeremejeff’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Persija.

Match15 Aug 2026

Alexander Jeremejeff drives the Persija comeback

2 behind and going nowhere, until Alexander Jeremejeff decided otherwise. Bhayangkara Presisi had done the hard part and then watched it come apart, and the noise at the final whistle was the sort a ground keeps.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Alexander Jeremejeff scores twice — 8.49

Two goals and a mark of 8.49 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Carlos Eduardo stands alone

7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

An offer of $570.0K for Valdeci

Persija have gone to Arema with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Match15 Aug 2026

Alexander Jeremejeff sends Persija past Bhayangkara Presisi

It finished 3‑2, and it was Alexander Jeremejeff’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Persija.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Alexander Jeremejeff falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Persija rebuffed over Shaqueel van Persie

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Feyenoord have kept their man, and Persija go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Persija

Jordi Amat and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Ninety minutes of Gustavo Almeida at his very best

Marked 8.65. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Persija.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Amir Ganah due for a Persija medical

Everything agreed with Hapoel Beer Sheva, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Persija

Jordi Amat was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market10 Aug 2026

One of our own: Wahyu Pato joins the Persija first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Wahyu Pato is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market10 Aug 2026

Bagus Saddil steps up from the Persija academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Bagus Saddil has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market10 Aug 2026

Persija promote Bambang Sulaeman from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Bambang Sulaeman has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market10 Aug 2026

Persija promote Fachri Septian from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Fachri Septian has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Match8 Aug 2026

Persija find a way past Maluku Utara United

Maluku Utara United made Persija work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

The afternoon belonged to Gustavo Almeida

A mark of 7.86, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Squad10 Aug 2026

10 new faces, and Persija are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A career in one shirt: Andritany Adhiyasa

14 seasons and 263 appearances, all of them here. Careers like this are not designed; they happen to a certain kind of man at a certain kind of club, and this town has one.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Stjepan Lončar pops up at the right end — 7.10

7.10, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Bruno Tubarão signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Bruno Tubarão and Persija agree another 2 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Bruno Tubarão in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Persija this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Alexander Jeremejeff falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market3 Aug 2026

24 months and counting on Alexander Jeremejeff

Still no offer on the table, and Alexander Jeremejeff’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Persija ask about Amir Ganah

A loan enquiry to Hapoel Beer Sheva: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Persija ask about Javier Soto

A loan enquiry to Brasil de Pelotas: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Match1 Aug 2026

Stjepan Lončar rescues a point for Persija

It needed Stjepan Lončar to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Persebaya, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.
