Persib Bandung clinches third straight Super League title

Persib Bandung secured the 2025/2026 BRI Super League championship after a 0‑0 draw with Persijap Jepara at Gelora Bandung Lautan Api on 23 May 2026. Both Persib and Borneo FC finished the season on 79 points, but Persib were crowned champions by virtue of a superior head‑to‑head record.

The title marks a historic hat‑trick of league wins for Persib, the first Indonesian club to achieve three consecutive crowns in the professional era, under coach Bojan Hodak. Key performances included goalkeeper Teja Paku Alam’s 19 clean sheets and the team’s unbeaten home record.

Celebrations erupted across Bandung: tens of thousands of supporters (Bobotoh) flooded Jalan Asia Afrika, Alun‑Alun and surrounding streets, forming a massive convoy that clogged traffic. Governor Dedi Mulyadi praised the club’s professionalism and announced a Rp1 billion bonus for the team. Borneo FC coach Fabio Lefundes lamented missing the title despite a 7‑1 win over Malut United and a league‑leading 74 goals. Persija Jakarta sent congratulatory remarks, while French media highlighted defender Layvin Kurzawa’s trophy despite limited playing time.

The event drew extensive local media coverage and underscored Persib’s dominance in Indonesian football this season.
