JAKARTA - Persija Jakarta immediately tripped over a fine in the first week of the 2022/2023 League 1 due to the actions of unscrupulous supporters. To ease the burden on the club, The Jakmania joined a joint venture as a form of responsibility.

The Kemayoran Tigers visit the I Wayan Dipta Stadium to face Bali United on Saturday, 23 July. In that match, Persija lost 0-1.

Ironically, after swallowing defeat, the Capital City team also had misfortune. Because, based on the results of the PSSI Disciplinary Committee (Komdis) session which was released Friday, July 29, they were fined Rp. 50 million for the behavior of fans who lit flares during the match.

Regarding the decision on the fine, the Central Management (PP) of The Jakmania as Persija supporters decided to ease the burden on their favorite club by paying half or Rp. 25 million of the fine.

This was conveyed by Diky Soemarno as the General Chair of The Jakmania through his latest upload. In the official letter, Diky said that the decision to help pay Persija's fine was made as a form of responsibility for the losses caused.

"For that as a form of responsibility, please allow us The Jakmania to participate in paying a fine of 50 percent of the total fine," the statement said.

"Sorry if we can only afford 50 percent, due to our limited cash," the statement continued.

This official letter then received a positive reply from the management of Persija. They are grateful for The Jakmania's willingness to share the fine.

"We, PT Persija Jaya Jakarta, as the management of the Persija Jakarta football club, would like to thank PP The Jakmania's willingness to contribute to the contribution of Rp. 25 million," Persija replied.

Persija then intends to use The Jakmania's donation money to conduct campaigns and education on regulations related to spectator order at matches. This is especially the case for flares, smoke bombs and firecrackers.
