Persib Bandung poised to clinch BRI Super League title with draw against Persijap

Persib Bandung entered the final round of the 2025‑2026 BRI Super League atop the table with 78 points after a 2‑1 win over PSM Makassar. To secure a third consecutive league crown, the club needs only a draw in its home match against Persijap Jepara on 23 May 2026 at the Gelora Bandung Lautan Api stadium. A draw would keep Persib two points ahead of second‑placed Borneo FC, which sits on 76 points and must win its own fixture against Malut United while hoping Persib loses.

Club officials and regional leaders highlighted the stakes. West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi said a bonus is prepared for the team if they clinch the title, while Deputy CEO of Persib, Adhitia Putra Herawan, outlined a celebratory trophy‑convoy route through Bandung’s historic sites. Players such as Adam Alis reiterated the team’s focus on winning outright despite the draw being sufficient, and the squad confirmed their safety after a post‑match incident involving a few PSM supporters.

Analysts noted Persib’s advantage of playing the decisive game at home before their supporters and the head‑to‑head edge over Borneo FC, describing any Borneo triumph as a “miracle”. The outcome will determine whether Persib adds a historic hat‑trick of league titles to its record.
