JAKARTA - Persija Jakarta will set foot at the Gelora Bung Karno (SUGBK) Main Stadium, for the first time in the 2025/2026 Super League. The moment in the 14th week is also even more special because it coincides with the club's 97th birthday celebration.

Given that the match against PSIM Yogyakarta on November 28, 2025 was held at the same time as the club's special moment, the organizing committee (panpel) will provide 50,000 tickets.

Previously, the announcement that the Kemayoran Tigers would be residing in SUGBK when hosting PSIM had also been officially shared through the club's social media on Saturday, November 22, 2025.

"Back to GBK!! Together we celebrate Persija's birthday with victory, Jak!" Persija Jakarta wrote as a description of the upload.

Given that the match against PSIM coincided with the club's special day, the committee and management are working hard so that the match can be held in Jakarta which is the homebase after a long time as they have been tourists.

The chairman of the Persija Jakarta Panpel, Ferry Indrasjarief, revealed that the duel against PSIM Jogja could later be watched more than the average, even the highest number of spectators for one Super League match 2025/2026 with 50 thousand tickets provided.

"For Persija vs PSIM tickets, a total of 50,000 Persija vs PSIM matches will also be opened later," said the man who is familiarly called Bung Ferry in a statement quoted on Monday, November 24, 2025.

This news is clearly a breath of fresh air for The Jakmania. You see, apart from being able to return home, the Kemayoran Tiger fans can at the same time break the record for the highest number of spectators in one Super League 2025/2026 match if all tickets sold are sold out.

The last time Persija appeared in Jakarta was when they hosted Bali United on September 14, 2025 at the Jakarta International Stadium. After that, the Kemayoran Tigers had to move because the venue was used for the K-Pop boyband concert, NCT Dream, on 27-28 September 2025.

Since then, Persija has played five away games and two home games with the status of travelers and a ride at Manahan Stadium, Solo, Central Java.

The two home games played by Persija at Manahan Stadium include against PSBS Biak (3-1) on October 31, 2025 and Persik Kediri (3-1) on November 20, 2025.
