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. Initially, there were rumors that Persija would face Atletico Madrid on Saturday (August 3) at Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) as part of their preparations for the upcoming season. Persija qualified for the semifinal stage of the 2024 President's Cup and was set to play against Persis Solo for third place on the same day at Stadion Manahan, Solo. "It was impossible because we were in the third-place match of the 2024 President's Cup, right?" said Persija's Director, Mohamad Prapanca, to 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 uncertain whether Atletico Madrid will still come to Indonesia following the cancellation of the friendly. 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. "However, the promoter also needed to get recommendations from our federation and PT LIB to see if it could be arranged during the 2024 President's Cup," he concluded.

With their current roster, Persela Lamongan is among the most impressive teams in Liga 2. At least in terms of player market value, the team coached by Didik Ludiyanto ranks highest. According to Transfermarkt, Persela Lamongan has a market value of Rp29.2 billion, making them the fourth highest in terms of player market value in Liga 2 for the 2024/2025 season. However, this figure could increase, as Laskar Joko Tingkir is still determined to continue their recruitment drive. Once their squad is complete, Persela Lamongan could potentially break into the top three most valuable teams in Liga 2 2024/2025.

Persebaya Surabaya's squad for BRI Liga 1 2024/2025 includes notable players such as Ernando Ari, Francisco Rivera, and Bruno Moreira. After a challenging 2023/2024 season, Persebaya has strengthened their team. Francisco Rivera, the best player of BRI Liga 1 2023/2024, is expected to bring creativity to their attack. Additionally, Portuguese striker Flavio Silva, who scored 23 goals for Persik Kediri last season, joins the team as a key goal-scorer. Persebaya has also retained key players like Ernando Ari and Bruno Moreira, known for their consistent performances.

Persija Jakarta might be one of the most passive clubs for the upcoming Liga 1 season. So far, Macan Kemayoran has only signed one player. Carlos Bueno is the only new addition to Persija. The 29-year-old midfielder previously played in the Spanish third division. Carlos Bueno’s performances in the 2024 President’s Cup have also been underwhelming. In three matches, his role in midfield hasn’t been particularly prominent. Persija still has two foreign player slots available for next season. Currently, Macan Kemayoran has filled six of the available foreign slots. From the start, Persija’s management had planned to use only six foreign players. Besides Bueno, the other five are Ondrej Kudela, Maciej Gajos, Ryo Matsumura, Marko Simic, and Gustavo Almeida. Persija’s coach, Carlos Pena, has spoken about the possibility of adding more players to the squad for the upcoming Liga 1 season. Discussions with management are necessary. "Regarding new recruits, this is something I need to discuss with management," said Carlos Pena. The call for Persija to seek additional players has grown louder after Macan Kemayoran was defeated 0-3 by Bali United on Friday night (July 26) at Captain I Wayan Dipta Stadium, Gianyar, in their third President’s Cup Group B match. "Of course, we will try to find solutions to strengthen the team as best as possible," Carlos Pena said. "We still have time before the league starts. Let’s see what moves we can make," he added.

Persela Lamongan has been preparing meticulously for the 2024/2025 season. One of the ways the team, known as Laskar Joko Tingkir, has prepared is by recruiting well-known players to boost their squad for Liga 2 2024/2025. During the transfer window leading up to the 2024/2025 season, Persela Lamongan signed several high-profile players, including Samsul Arif, Esteban Vizcarra, Andik Rendika Rama, Risna Prahalabenta, and Hasim Kipuw. They also acquired Ezechiel Ndouasel and recently added one of the best local wingers, Wawan Febrianto. Despite the impressive squad, Persela Lamongan is not yet satisfied. They are rumored to be in negotiations to sign former Indonesian national team star, Andik Vermansah. For a detailed look at Persela Lamongan's current squad, see the full article below.

As a newly promoted team, Malut United has undergone a major squad overhaul to compete in BRI Liga 1 2024/2025. Malut United made some intriguing moves in the transfer market. Rising star Yakob Sayuri, who was previously with PSM Makassar, was signed after his contract ended. Alongside Yakob Sayuri, Yance Sayuri was also recruited by Malut United. The Sayuri brothers have consistently played for the same club. In addition to local players, Malut United has revamped its foreign player roster. New foreign recruits include Adriano Castanheira, Diego Martinez, and Cassio Scheid, all of whom are new to Indonesian football. Unlike the players, Malut United has retained two crucial figures in the coaching staff. Imran Nahumarury (head coach) and Resal Octavian (assistant coach) remain for the 2024/2025 season. However, the coaching team has seen some interesting additions. Former players Dedy Gusmawan, Aditya Putra Dewa, and Joko Ribowo will begin their debut season as coaches. These three were instrumental in helping Malut United earn promotion from Liga 2 to BRI Liga 1 last season.
