Madura United 2026/27 preparations

Entities: Annisa Zhafarina · Gelora Bangkalan Stadium · Jose Manuel Gomes da Silva · Hugo Gomes · Madura United FC

Overview

Madura United continued to shape its squad and tactical approach ahead of the 2026‑27 Super League season. In late July the club secured Bulgarian striker Dimitar Mitkov from Ordabasy Shymkent for an estimated Rp4.78 billion, assigning him the number 9 jersey, and appointed Portuguese coach Ze Gomes, who outlined a pre‑season program centred on physical recovery, ball‑possession drills, high‑pressing and an attacking mindset.

On 30 July the Brazilian midfielder Hugo Gomes (Jaja) returned from Dewa United, a move described by director Annisa Zhafarina as part of a long‑term plan to maintain a high‑quality midfield and meet supporters’ expectations.

By 3 August coach Ze Gomes reported noticeable progress in training at Gelora Bangkalan Stadium, highlighting quicker reactions after losing the ball and a reinforced focus on possession and aggressive pressing. The 32‑player roster, which includes 11 foreign players, is being prepared to deliver a more dominant style and improve on the previous two seasons.
