Sabah FC defeats Bali United in Dewata Challenge Series 2026

The Dewata Challenge Series 2026 preseason tournament features intense matchups between Indonesian and Malaysian clubs. In a recent fixture, Sabah FC secured a 2-1 victory over Bali United at the Kapten I Wayan Dipta Stadium in Gianyar. Sabah FC's goals were scored by Jungbin Park and Gonzalo Di Renzo, while Rahmat Arjuna provided the lone response for Bali United.

Persib Bandung faces significant squad challenges ahead of their match against Sabah FC. The club is missing 14 key players, including seven national team members returning from international duty, two U-20 players, and four players currently recovering from injuries sustained during the Piala Presiden 2026. Despite these absences, Persib is focusing on the adaptation of new signing Danijel Loncar, who is reportedly integrating well with the squad during training in Bali.
