gustavo-almeida-pers_808927d.jpgPersib will begin their campaign in BRI Liga 1 by facing their own team. Persib Bandung carry the title of defending champions in BRI Liga 1 2024/2025. Maung Bandung will try to retain their title, which is evident from their activity in the transfer market. Persib has brought in two local players with Indonesian national team labels, Dimas Drajad and Adam Alis. Both are believed to have a major impact on the depth of Persib's squad. Not only local players, but Persib has also made changes to their foreign player lineup. Stefano Beltrame and Alberto Rodriguez have moved, and in their place, Persib has signed Gustavo Franca, Mailson Lima, and Mateo Kocijan. Check out the full fixtures of Persib Bandung in BRI Liga 1 2024/2025 below.

pss-sleman_cd0a2a8.jpgFormer Indonesian National Team and Persib Bandung player Gian Zola Nasrulloh has found a new club for the next Liga 1 season. He has signed with Persita Tangerang. Persita announced Gian Zola’s arrival on Friday night (July 26, 2024). Last season, he played for PSIS Semarang in Liga 1. "I’m very happy to join Persita, especially since there are many players I already know here," said Gian Zola. To find more information regarding hasil liga 1 indonesia check out the web page. "I’m in great condition right now and ready to train with my new teammates. I’m prepared to work hard and follow the coach’s instructions," he added. The former Persib academy player began his professional career at Persib in 2016. Gian Zola spent five seasons with Maung Bandung and had two loan spells at Persela Lamongan in 2018 and the 2021/2022 season. He made 21 appearances last season with PSIS, scoring one goal without any assists and receiving four yellow cards. "My hope is, of course, to perform better than last season. I want to contribute more to the team, both in goals and assists," said Gian Zola, who has made three appearances for the Indonesian National Team. "Always support us wherever we play, and also pray that I can adapt quickly and that Persita can finish better than last season," he added.

bri-liga-1_19a9438.jpgMadura United may not yet be at their best level. Laskar Sappe Kerrab may require some time to hit their best form. Nonetheless, Jordy Wehrmann and Maxuel Cassio could be game-changers. Like Madura United, Malut United has also made significant changes to their squad. Some of Malut United's new recruits have played together before. If Imran Nahumarury can assemble the team effectively, securing points is possible. Predicted Score: Madura United 2-2 Malut United.

Persija Jakarta might be one of the most passive clubs for the upcoming Liga 1 season. So far, Macan Kemayoran has only signed one player. Carlos Bueno is the only new addition to Persija. The 29-year-old midfielder previously played in the Spanish third division. Carlos Bueno’s performances in the 2024 President’s Cup have also been underwhelming. In three matches, his role in midfield hasn’t been particularly prominent. Persija still has two foreign player slots available for next season. Currently, Macan Kemayoran has filled six of the available foreign slots. From the start, Persija’s management had planned to use only six foreign players. Besides Bueno, the other five are Ondrej Kudela, Maciej Gajos, Ryo Matsumura, Marko Simic, and Gustavo Almeida. Persija’s coach, Carlos Pena, has spoken about the possibility of adding more players to the squad for the upcoming Liga 1 season. Discussions with management are necessary. "Regarding new recruits, this is something I need to discuss with management," said Carlos Pena. The call for Persija to seek additional players has grown louder after Macan Kemayoran was defeated 0-3 by Bali United on Friday night (July 26) at Captain I Wayan Dipta Stadium, Gianyar, in their third President’s Cup Group B match. "Of course, we will try to find solutions to strengthen the team as best as possible," Carlos Pena said. "We still have time before the league starts. Let’s see what moves we can make," he added.
