JAKARTA - Two Persija Jakarta players, Ryo Matsumura and Fabio Calonego, are confirmed to be absent in the important match against Persib Bandung. This is related to the heavy sanctions imposed by the PSSI Disciplinary Commission (Komdis).
The match against Persib was the continuation of the 2205/2206 Super League which will take place on January 11, 2025 at the Gelora Bandung Lautan Api Stadium. Matsumura was sanctioned with a four-time ban and a fine of Rp. 50 million, while Calonego only twice without a fine.
This sanction was given by the PSSI Disciplinary Committee after receiving a match report from the match commissioner of Semen Padang FC versus Persija on December 22, 2025.
This match ended with a score of 1-0 for Semen Padang's victory. The match was hard, where there was one red card and one goal was disallowed.
After the match, Matsumura was seen making inappropriate body language to the referee, Steven Yubel Poli. This is what made the PSSI Disciplinary Committee give a heavy sanction.
Calonego received a red card at the end of the match. After the hearing, the PSSI Disciplinary Committee decided to increase the punishment for Calonego.
This is of course a loss for Persija in the prestigious away match. Persija versus Persib or vice versa matches are eagerly awaited by both club supporters.
However, Matsumura and Calonego can still appear in Persija versus Bhayangkara FC, Monday, December 29, 2025 tonight. The two can still appear given the status of the match against Bhayangkara as a postponed match.
