Persija Jakarta began their BRI Liga 1 2024/2025 campaign with a dominant performance. They defeated Barito Putera 3-0 in their Week 1 match at Jakarta International Stadium on Saturday (August 10, 2024). Gustavo Almeida was the star of the show, scoring a hat-trick with one goal in the first half and two in the second half. With this win, Persija joins Persib Bandung and PSM Makassar at the top of the standings, all having achieved big wins.

Semen Padang is not in an advantageous situation despite being the host. This is because Semen Padang has to 'move' to Jakarta. Additionally, with many new foreign players, Semen Padang might need time to reach peak performance. Borneo FC has been thoroughly tested in the 2024 President’s Cup. Their squad depth is unquestionable. The new foreign signings for Borneo FC have also shown their capability, including foreign striker Leo Gaucho. Score Prediction: Semen Padang 1-3 Borneo FC.

Arema FC has been active in the transfer market up until the last day of the BRI Liga 1 transfer window for the early 2024/2025 season. Singo Edan has filled their quota of eight foreign players for the 2024/2025 season. Pablo Oliveira is the final foreign player signed by Arema FC. The 29-year-old adds a significant Brazilian influence to Arema FC. Arema FC is now strengthened by five Brazilian players: Dalberto, Lucas Frigeri, Thales Lira, William Marcilio, and Pablo Oliveira. Additionally, Arema FC has a Brazilian coach and assistant coach. Meanwhile, Persija Jakarta has released many of their young players. 17 academy graduates have been transferred to other clubs, some on loan. The most surprising move is the departure of young goalkeeper Cahya Supriadi. See the detailed transfer updates for BRI Liga 1 2024/2025 clubs below, Bolaneters.

PSBS Biak has signed numerous new players, featuring a group of foreign players from Argentina. PSBS Biak is a newly promoted team in BRI Liga 1 2024/2025. The Pacific Storm was promoted after winning Liga 1 in the 2023/2024 season, defeating Semen Padang in the final. PSBS Biak has gathered top talents from Papua to compete in BRI Liga 1 2024/2025. Jem Kelly Sroyer was signed from Persik Kediri. Todd Ferre, Donny Monim, and Yohanes Kandaimu have also returned. Among the foreign players, Julian Velazquez, Gabriel Esparza, and Abel Arganaraz will make their debut in Indonesia. All three are from Argentina, the same country as coach Juan Esnaider. PSBS Biak has also revamped their coaching staff. Regi Aditya, who led the Pacific Storm to promotion, cannot accompany the team due to licensing issues. His position is taken over by Juan Esnaider. As a player, Esnaider had a notable career. He has played for Juventus and Real Madrid. Additionally, the Argentine played for Atletico Madrid, Real Zaragoza, and River Plate. As a coach, Esnaider has previously managed Getafe. Unfortunately, he had limited success as he joined Getafe when the team was struggling and faced relegation from La Liga in the 2015/2016 season. Esnaider will be assisted by Robertino Pugliara, who is well-versed in Indonesian and Papuan football. The former Persipura player can serve as a translator and cultural bridge for Esnaider and PSBS Biak.

It has been revealed that Persija Jakarta's planned friendly match against Atletico Madrid was canceled due to their involvement in the 2024 President's Cup. Rumors had circulated that Persija was scheduled to play Atletico Madrid on Saturday (August 3) at Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) in preparation for the new season. However, Persija advanced to the semifinals of the 2024 President's Cup and had to compete for third place against Persis Solo on the same day at Stadion Manahan, Solo. "It was definitely not possible because we were involved in the third-place match of the 2024 President’s Cup," Persija's Director Mohamad Prapanca told reporters. He added that Atletico Madrid could only visit on that specific date, which conflicted with Persija’s schedule. "We were prepared to host them, but we had to follow the regulations of our federation," Prapanca said. Prapanca is unsure if Atletico Madrid will still visit Indonesia after the friendly was canceled. He mentioned that Persija initially planned to test their strength against the Spanish giants. "I don’t know. You should ask the promoter whether Atletico Madrid will come or not. As for the planning, yes, the plan was there," Prapanca said. "But the promoter also needs to get approval from our federation and PT LIB to see if it could be arranged during the 2024 President’s Cup," he concluded.
