PSS Sleman was officially sentenced by the PSSI Disciplinary Commission (Komdis) in the aftermath of the bribery case that occurred in 2018.

It is known that the PSSI Komdis has conducted a disciplinary violation hearing related to the case involving PSS Sleman on November 6, 2018.

The Sleman District Court has also decided on a bribery crime against the match equipment on duty in the PSS Sleman match against Madura FC on that date.

"Referring to Article 64 Paragraph 1, Paragraph 2, Paragraph 3 and Article 141 of the PSSI Disciplinary Code in 2023, the PSS Sleman Club is given a penalty of deduction of points 3 (three) and a fine of Rp. 150,000,000 (one hundred and fifty million rupiah) applies to the Liga 1 competition which will be held in the 2024-2025 period," read a statement written by Komdis PSSI in the release of PT LIB, quoted on Tuesday, August 13, 2024.

Earlier in October 2023, the National Police's Anti-Mafia Ball Task Force revealed a match fixing in Liga 2 in 2018. In the evidence shown, there are details regarding the match.

Evidence shows the match in question is PSS Sleman vs Madura FC at Maguwoharjo Stadium in the last eight of Liga 2 2018 Group B, 6 November 2018.

At that time, the match was also viral because of a controversial offside goal.

At that time, referee Agung Setiawan who led the match allowed PSS Sleman player, Ilhamur Irhas, who was clearly trapped offside even before sending in a cross.

Irhas then sent in a cross and the ball hit Madura FC's player, Choirul Rifan, so the ball slid into the net itself.
