Persib Bandung clears FIFA ban, pre‑season underway

Entities: President's Cup 2026 · Port FC · Persib Bandung · Persebaya Surabaya · Shin Tae‑yong

Overview

Persib Bandung’s registration ban, imposed in May 2026 over a contract dispute with former defender Daisuke Sato, was lifted in late July. The decision also cleared PSIS Semarang, though several other Indonesian clubs remain barred. With the sanction removed, the club can formally register the arrivals it announced earlier in the window—midfielder Mariano Peralta, winger Ikhwan Ali Tanamal (signed through 2028), and the foreign recruits Gakuto Notsuda, Ragnar Oratmangoen, Luka Menalo, Sandy Walsh, Balsa Sekulic, Gabriel Mutombo and others.

Coach Igor Tolić, newly appointed from Croatia, used the opening Piala Presiden group match against Arema FC on 25 July as a test‑run, stressing that Peralta’s medical clearance is a priority ahead of the AFC Champions League Two playoff on 31 August. The game also marked the introduction of Tanamal to the first‑team squad. Persib now aims to finalize squad depth and tactical cohesion before the President’s Cup 2026, the ASEAN Club Championship and the AFC Champions League Two, while maintaining three‑year extensions for key domestic players.
