Deltras FC governance and squad development

Overview

In early July 2026, the Indonesian Football Association lifted the ban on away supporters for the 2026/27 season. Deltras FC CEO Amir Burhannudin welcomed the decision, stating it would improve match atmosphere, revive local economies, and promote mutual respect among fan groups. To prepare for the upcoming championship, the club appointed former Persiba Balikpapan coach Leonard Tupamahu, who promised a modern, flexible playing style.

Following this, Deddy Adrianto Wibowo was named club president. In his inaugural address, he outlined four visions: achieving national-level success, establishing professional and financially independent management, delivering community benefits in Sidoarjo, and building a sustainable foundation for a push toward Liga 1. CEO Amir Burhanuddin noted the appointment is part of a strategy to strengthen governance as pre-season training began and the club adjusted foreign-player recruitment to meet administrative rules.

By mid-August 2026, the club continued its efforts to secure promotion to Indonesia’s top-tier league by signing three new players: senior midfielder Ichsan Pratama, Rizky Pellu, and Samuel Reimas. Pratama, formerly of PSS Sleman, cited the club’s historical status as a primary motivator, while Pellu and Reimas expressed optimism regarding the club’s professional foundation and long-standing national track record.
