The reason for Persija Jakarta’s cancellation of the friendly match against Atletico Madrid is their participation in the 2024 President’s Cup. Rumors had circulated that Persija was scheduled to play Atletico Madrid on Saturday (August 3) at Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) in preparation for the new season. However, Persija advanced to the semifinals of the 2024 President’s Cup and had to compete for third place against Persis Solo on the same day at Stadion Manahan, Solo. “It was impossible because we were in the third-place match of the 2024 President’s Cup, right?” said Persija’s Director, Mohamad Prapanca, to reporters. He explained that Atletico Madrid could only come on that specific date, which conflicted with Persija’s schedule. “We were ready to host them, but we had to adhere to the regulations set by our federation,” Prapanca continued. Prapanca is unsure if Atletico Madrid will still visit Indonesia after the friendly was canceled. He mentioned that Persija initially planned to test their strength against the Spanish giants. “I don’t know. You should ask the promoter whether Atletico Madrid will come or not. As for the planning, yes, the plan was there,” Prapanca said. “But the promoter also needs to get approval from our federation and PT LIB to see if it could be arranged during the 2024 President’s Cup,” he concluded.

Compared to the previous season, Persija Jakarta has made few changes to their squad. Key players like Hanif Sjahbandi and Syahrian Abimanyu, who were rumored to be transferring, chose to remain. Marko Simic and Gustavo Almeida have also stayed with the team. Persija Jakarta has lost two senior players, Maman Abdulrahman and Tony Sucipto. However, other experienced players like Andritany Ardhiyasa and Riko Simanjuntak remain to provide leadership. Persija Jakarta has promoted young talents to the senior squad. After the generation of Dony Tri Pamungkas, the new 16-year-old player Zahabi Gholy has been introduced. Zahabi made his debut in the Piala Presiden 2024. Despite few changes in the player roster, Persija Jakarta has undergone a notable coaching change. Thomas Doll has been replaced by Carlos Pena from Spain. Pena is anticipated to strengthen the team and achieve better results than in the Piala Presiden 2024. Additionally, there has been a change in team captaincy. For the 2024/2025 season, the captaincy has been taken over by Rizky Ridho from Andritany Ardhiyasa.
Persija Jakarta started their BRI Liga 1 2024/2025 season with a commanding display. They defeated Barito Putera 3-0 in their Week 1 match at Jakarta International Stadium on Saturday (August 10, 2024). Gustavo Almeida was the star of the show, scoring a hat-trick with one goal in the first half and two in the second half. This result places Persija alongside Persib Bandung and PSM Makassar at the top of the table, each having secured significant victories.
The match between PSM Makassar and Persis Solo on Saturday, August 10, 2024, will be streamed live on Vidio starting at 15:30 WIB. PSM Makassar has undergone significant player changes, losing the Sayuri brothers and yet to find suitable replacements. In the event you beloved this information as well as you want to obtain guidance with regards to live streaming bri liga 1 (www.bola.net) kindly check out our own web-site. PSM struggled in the 2024 President’s Cup, failing to win any of their three preseason matches. On the other hand, Persis Solo performed reasonably well in the President’s Cup, losing only twice in five games. Despite some inconsistency, Persis Solo, led by experienced coach Milomir Seslija, may start the league on a strong note. The teams previously met in the 2024 President’s Cup group stage, where they drew 2-2. In the 2023/2024 season, each team won one match against the other, both by a score of 1-0. PSM Makassar is expected to field many young players in the 2024/2025 season, aiming to play a ‘rock and roll’ style with their youth. However, experienced players like Muhammad Arfan and Yuran Fernandes will be crucial for the team. If they can effectively lead both tactically and technically, PSM could become a formidable team. “PSM Makassar has a lot of young players promoted to the senior team. But once again, I am ready to work hard and compete,” said PSM Makassar’s young player, Mufli Hidayat.
The match saw Persija come out aggressively from the start. Almeida opened the scoring in the 11th minute with a header that was deflected by Buyung Ismu. Barito Putera pushed forward and created several opportunities but could not find the equalizer before the break. Barito Putera continued to press in the second half, but it was Persija who increased their lead with a penalty from Almeida in the 71st minute. Almeida completed his hat-trick with another goal 10 minutes later, sealing a 3-0 win for Persija. The scoreline remained 3-0 until the final whistle.
