JAKARTA - Persija Jakarta officially released two players labeled the U-19 Indonesian national team to join the League 2 club on loan. The two players are Figo Dennis and Arlyansyah Abdulmanan who are now in the Yogyakarta PSIM uniform.

The news about the loan of two players who had just taken Indonesia to win the 2024 AFF U-19 Cup was announced by Laskar Mataram through their official website.

As is known that in the 2024/2025 Liga 2 competition, a club is required to have an Under-21 player.

"Obviously we are happy to be able to borrow Arlyansyah and Figo Dennis from Persija Jakarta for the U-21 quota. Arlyansyah and Figo Dennis are important pillars of Indonesia U-19's success when they won the 2024 AFF U-19 Cup," said Dyaradzi Aufa Taruna, PSIM Manager, quoted on Monday, August 12, 2024.

"In addition, in our opinion, these two players are ready, both technically and mentally. We also hope that these two young players can help the team," he said again.

For the Kemayoran Tigers, at the beginning of this season there were already a number of names that were released to other clubs. There was Alfrianto Nico who was loaned to Dewa United and Tony Sucipto who moved closer to Persela Lamongan after his contract expired.

In the wing position, Persija actually has an abundant stock of players. Riko Simanjuntak, Zahaby Gholy, and Witan Sulaeman can be an option for Carlos Pena.

This situation is actually expected to bring Persija to a better 2024/2025 season. Slowly, Carlos Pena as coach was answered by making a 3-0 victory over Barito Putera in the inaugural match of Liga 1 2024/2025 on Saturday, August 10, 2024.
