Semen Padang FC targets victory against Persiku Kudus

Semen Padang FC head coach Stefano Cugurra, known as Teco, is aiming for a first victory as the team prepares to face Persiku Kudus in the seventh week of the Pegadaian Championship 2026/27. The match is scheduled for Saturday, October 24, 2026, at Sultan Agung Stadium in Bantul.

Following a loss to Persikad Depok and a draw against PSMS Medan, Semen Padang currently sits sixth in the standings. Teco emphasized that the team has undergone five intensive training sessions focusing on physical, technical, and tactical aspects to improve their performance and climb the table.

The squad will face a challenge in goal as young goalkeeper Ikram Algiffari is sidelined due to injury. Teco confirmed that a replacement goalkeeper has been prepared to maintain the team's defensive stability during the upcoming match.
