Indonesia 2026 President's Cup Semifinals Confirmed

Entities: President's Cup 2026 · Persija Jakarta · Arema FC · Penang FC · Port FC

Overview

The pre‑season Piala Presiden 2026 tournament has finalized its semifinal pairings: Persib Bandung will face Persija Jakarta, while Persebaya Surabaya meets Arema FC. Both groups concluded with Persib topping Group A on nine points and Persebaya winning Group B; Persija secured the runner‑up spot in Group B after a 4‑1 victory over PSMS Medan, and Arema finished second in Group A.

The competition attracted a record sponsorship package exceeding Rp70 billion and achieved high broadcast ratings, providing a boost to local economies and small‑business (UMKM) sales. All matches have been played in Indonesian venues, with the exact semifinal stadiums yet to be confirmed.

Arema’s striker Gustavo Henrique suffered a left‑quadriceps injury, ruling him out of the knockout stage. Coach Shin Tae‑yong praised Persija’s fighting spirit but noted the side still needs preparation ahead of the upcoming season. Clubs from Brunei, Singapore and Thailand participated, underscoring the tournament’s regional reach.
