JAKARTA - Persija Jakarta officially announced a new squad for Liga 1 2024/2025 on Wednesday, August 7, 2024, WIB night. In the new squad, the captain position also changed from Andritany Ardhiyasa to Rizky Ridho.

In addition, the position of deputy captain was also held by Muhammad Ferarri. In this new season, the Kemayoran Tigers will be strengthened by 29 players as a whole.

However, the refresh was felt after the captain's position changed from Andritany Ardhiyasa, who had carried out the task from the 2019 season. Ridho's election was also not without reason.

This 22-year-old player is trusted by Carlos Pena to lead the team because of his experience as the captain when he strengthened the U-23 Indonesian national team.

With the choice of Rizky Ridho who has a slick experience, Andritany expressed high hopes for the Kemayoran Tigers. Under the leadership of Rizky Rodho, the 32-year-old goalkeeper hopes that changes in leadership in the team can provide good results for Persija.

"From year to year, I only give you the promise. However, it never happened or was never realized," said Andritany Ardhiyasa, quoted on Thursday, August 8, 2024.

"Maybe this year I will give the captain to Ridho and Ferarri, God willing, he will bring Persija to become champions," said Andritany.
