Prilly Latuconsina bought the football club from Tangerang in early 2022. After he expressed his wish, Persikota then responded to Prilly and invited her to watch the team from Tangerang while practicing at the stadium.

Persikota Tangerang has the nickname Magic Baby. Persikota Tangerang also had time to stage in Liga 1 Indonesia, the highest caste of the Indonesian league, in the 90s to 2000 era. Unfortunately, the Magic Baby's achievements could not be maintained.

Under Prilly's ownership, the name Persikota Tangerang is expected to be able to become a jack, especially in terms of performance in order to return to Liga 1 Indonesia.

Actor Gading Marten also bought shares of the Persikota Tangerang football club. However, due to internal problems, he finally sold the football club's shares. The man whose full name is Angling Gading then left Persikota Tangerang.

His work in the world of football does not stop there. He was then proposed by Persik Kediri on December 28, 2021. Gading served as Vice President Director of Marketing for Persik Kediri.

The owner of RANS Entertainment Raffi Ahmad is the first artist to own a football club. He bought a club from Cilegon, Cilegon FC. The management of his football club was handed over to RANS and Rudy Salim.

The name Cilegon FC has also changed to RANS Cilegon FC. Its development is also quite good because it managed to qualify for League 1, the highest caste in the Indonesian league.

Seoalah did not want to lose, YouTuber Atta Halilintar also acquired the football club. He then bought PSG Pati's club, which has now changed its name to AHHA PS Pati FC. Atta made a number of changes, starting from the logo to club management.

Atta's desire to have a football club grew even more when he met with the General Chair of the All-Indonesian Football Association or PSSI Mochamad Iriawan. At that time the two also attended the PSSI congress on May 29, 2021. Not long after, Atta became more stable in the world of football.

President Jokowi's son, Kaesang Pangarep, is widely known as a culinary entrepreneur in Indonesia and YouTuber. But who would have thought he was the owner of the biggest stake in a football club from Solo, Persis Solo.

Kaesang owns 40 percent of Persis Solo's shares. The purchase was announced at the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (EGMS) of PT Persis Solo Saestu (PSS) in March 2021.
