SOLO - PNM Liga Nusantara 2024/2024 officially rolled out on Friday, December 13, 2024. Initially, there were 18 teams that would compete for the status of champions and promotion tickets to League 2 next season.
However, when the inaugural event took place, only 16 teams were officially registered and competed. Two teams, namely representatives from North Sulawesi and Central Kalimantan, decided to withdraw.
Regarding the two teams that ended up not participating in this semi-professional competition, Ferry Paulus as the President Director (Managing Director) of PT Liga Indonesia Baru (LIB) who became the operator of the Nusantara League gave the reason.
"We are indeed involved in the participation process, there is a form or interest in participation."
"This includes using the integrity of the club. Well, these two clubs (including Central Kalimantan) have stated that especially North Sulawesi have stated that they have not participated," said Ferry Paulus in the opening match of the Nusantara League at the Sriwedari Stadium, Solo, on Friday, December 13, 2024.

Ferry Paulus further said that the two teams were clearly subject to real sanctions.
"Yes, of course it (the sanctions) are relegation, yes. This means that from the eight relegation slots. There are already two that have been filled by the club that has resigned."
"There are only six more (relegation plots that will be filled). So, each pool will be deployed by three relegated teams," said Ferry.
Apart from the resignation of the two teams, the opening match of the 2024/2025 Nusantara League which was held at the Sriwedari Stadium was interesting and fierce.
