JAKARTA PT Liga Indonesia Baru (LIB) or I-League ensured that all clubs participating in the 2025/2026 Super League competition could still register 11 foreign players in their squad.
The Managing Director of LIB, Ferry Paulus, when met at the Office of the Ministry of Youth and Sports (Kemenpora) on Monday, July 28, 2025, said that the decision was final.
"So, as of next season, only seven foreign player regulations will play, nine are on the DSP (play line list), and 11 are allowed to be registered by the club," he said.
Previously, PT Liga Indonesia Baru had approved as many as eight foreign players who could be played in one match out of 11 registered.

The number of foreign players who may be registered by each club has increased compared to last season. Previously, the highest level league in Indonesia allowed eight foreign players to be registered and six played.
"If you look at its utilization, seven are more ideal because the national players will have a greater chance than the eight foreign players," said Ferry.
The provisions for the U-23 players that must be registered by each club are at least five players who were born in 2003.
Of these, one of them must be played for 45 minutes. This regulation is to supply the needs of the Indonesian national team U-23 age group.
Liga 1 Indonesia will use the 2025/2026 Super League title season. Kick-off or competition starting August 8, 2025 with the opening match will be presented between Persebaya Surabaya versus PSIM Yogyakarta.
