JAKARTA - Persija Jakarta supporters will be allowed to go away to Persebaya Surabaya headquarters in the ninth week of the 2025/2026 Super League. However, the I-League as the competition operator implemented one condition that must be met.

Persija Jakarta is scheduled to travel to the Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium (GBT), Surabaya, on Saturday, October 18, 2025, WIB night. For the match labeled big match, there is a breath of fresh air for The Jakmania to support his team directly.

Fans Engagement I-League, Budiman Dalimunthe, said that The Jakmania could attend the GBT on one condition, namely coming as an audience and not bringing the club's frills, be it in the form of a T-shirt or flag.

"If the audience doesn't use attributes, they don't sing chants, just as spectators, not supporters, I think it's okay."

"However, if it comes with attributes, with chants, and all kinds of things, it (violates) the Law (Number 11 of 2022) Article 55."

"This is also not allowed in regulations. It must be sorted, where is the supporter, which is the audience or fan."

"Then, the supporter community already has its own touch point, has its own channel to convey, if it comes."

"Or, Persija fans who live in Surabaya. They can come as spectators, not as supporters," said Budiman Dalimunthe in a statement in Jakarta quoted Friday, October 17, 2025.

If you look at the past record, in the 2024/2025 season, thousands of Boneks were also present at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK), Jakarta, to support Persebaya when facing Persija. At that time, both teams had to settle for sharing points after the match ended 1-1.
