Police Ban Bobotoh Attend Persib Kontra Persebaya In Si Jalak Harupat This Week

The police confirmed that Bobotoh was not allowed to attend the Persib Bandung match to host Persebaya Surabaya in the 2024/2025 Liga 1 continued at Si Jalak Harupat Stadium, Bandung Regency.

Bandung Police Chief Kombes Pol Kusworo Wibowo said the ban on Bobotoh or Persib Bandung supporters regarding the riots of Persib supporters with the stewards recently resulted in sanctions from the Indonesian Football Association Disciplinary Committee (PSSI).

"As a consequence, the Persib Bandung match against Persebaya is the first match that must be carried out without spectators at the stadium," said Kusworo in Bandung Regency, Wednesday, October 16, which was confiscated by Antara.

The match between the club nicknamed Maung Bandung and Bajul Ijo will be held on Friday 18 October. Currently, Persib Bandung is in fourth place in the standings, while Persebaya sits in first place in the League 1 standings.

Even though the match was without spectators, according to him, the police continued to provide security at Si Jalak Harupat Stadium as usual matches.

Responding to this, his party appealed to all supporters, both Bobotoh and Bonek, not to come to Si Jalak Harupat Stadium. Because the stadium will be closely guarded by security officers and the doors of the stands will be closed.

"For Bonek, we also urge you not to travel to Bandung. The reason is, access to the stadium will be limited and the guest supporters will not be able to enter the match area," said Kusworo.

The police chief also invited all supporters, especially Bobotoh, to jointly comply with the PSSI Komdis decision and create a safe and fun football atmosphere.

"We invite all supporters to watch Persib vs Persebaya matches through television broadcasts or join the event to watch together," he said.
