JAKARTA - Chairman of the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI), Erick Thohir, expressed his commitment to strengthen the foundation of national women's football by immediately encouraging PT LIB to hold a pre-season Women's League tournament starting in 2026.

This event will be attended by four clubs as early embryos and become an important framework for the formation of a more professional Women's League in 2027.

Erick emphasized that PT LIB must make the pre-season tournament the basic framework for welcoming a more professional Women's League in 2027.

"We have to build a strong foundation. This pre-season league is not just a trial tournament, but a more established and competitive embryo for the formation of the Women's League in the future," said Erick Thohir in Jakarta, Saturday, July 12, 2025.

Erick hopes that the 2027 Women's League competition plan is designed by PT LIB by involving more clubs and carrying out competition formats without a relegation system.

This is believed to provide space for new clubs to develop and improve the quality of competition gradually.
