Indonesian Super League clubs confront relegation, performance woes and management reviews

Arema FC suffered consecutive derby defeats – a 4‑0 loss to Persebaya Surabaya and a 3‑2 loss to Persik Kediri – prompting club manager Munif Bagaskara Wakid to vow a thorough performance evaluation and to address angry supporters, while declining to comment on a possible coaching change.

In the same round of the Super League, PSBS Biak were confirmed relegated after a 4‑0 defeat by Persebaya, with caretaker coach Kahudi Wahyu Widodo citing poor player fitness as the main cause. The club will compete in the second‑tier Championship next season. Meanwhile, Garudayaksa FC secured promotion to the Super League and was noted for its connection to Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto. Semen Padang also faced relegation after a 0‑1 loss to Dewa United.
