Super League 2026/2027 season begins in Indonesia

The 2026/2027 Super League season in Indonesia begins this weekend, featuring several high-profile opening matches. Arema FC is set to host newly promoted Isenmulang Kalteng FC at Stadion Kanjuruhan, with Arema looking to maintain a positive trend despite facing a motivated debutant side.

In Bali, Bali United will face PSS Sleman at Stadion Kapten I Wayan Dipta. PSS Sleman, returning to the top flight after a season in the Championship, expressed high optimism under coach Pieter Huistra. Both teams aim to secure early momentum, with Bali United seeking to avoid the losses they experienced in recent preseason tests.

Other notable developments include Persebaya Surabaya's recruitment of Brazilian player Matheus Lagoa to bolster their squad, and the announcement of the 26-player roster for the Indonesia National Team ahead of the FIFA ASEAN Cup 2026. Additionally, PSSI is focusing on increasing the number of qualified female referees for the upcoming Indonesia Women’s League.
