The PSSI Disciplinary Committee (Komdis) has released its verdict following the intense match between Bali United FC and Persib Bandung, held at Kapten I Wayan Dipta Stadium on Saturday, November 1, 2025. This decision underscores the league’s commitment to maintaining order and integrity within Indonesian football.
During the official hearing, Persib Bandung was consequently slapped with a cumulative fine totaling IDR 115 million. This significant penalty stems from three distinct violations that occurred during the game, highlighting areas where club and supporter conduct fell short of established regulations.
The first infringement involved the presence of Persib Bandung supporters attending the match as away team spectators, a practice explicitly prohibited by current league regulations. For this particular violation, the prominent football club incurred an initial fine of IDR 25 million, emphasizing the strict adherence required for security protocols.
Secondly, the club faced sanctions for the ignition of flares or pyrotechnics in various sections of the stands. Such acts pose significant safety risks and disrupt the match atmosphere, leading to a substantial fine of IDR 60 million and a clear message against such behavior.
Finally, the third infraction cited by the committee involved the throwing of plastic water bottles from the South Tribune area. This dangerous action resulted in an additional fine of IDR 30 million, further underscoring the disciplinary body’s zero-tolerance policy towards spectator misconduct that compromises safety.
Adhitia Putra Herawam, Deputy CEO of PT Persib Bandung Bermartabat, confirmed that the club accepts these sanctions with full responsibility. He acknowledged the severity of the infractions and the implications for the club’s reputation and financial standing.
“This decision serves as a crucial reminder to everyone that discipline is paramount in organizing matches,” stated Adhit in an official release on Saturday, November 15. “We respect the process undertaken by the PSSI Disciplinary Committee and will comply with all applicable stipulations. We also continue to urge Bobotoh [Persib supporters] to maintain appropriate conduct when supporting the team, both at home and away, to ensure Persib does not incur similar losses in future matches.”
He further emphasized the critical importance of adhering to regulations prohibiting away supporters from attending matches directly at stadiums, a rule put in place for broader safety and security considerations.
“Currently, there are still regulations that we must collectively respect,” he explained. “Based on Liga 1 2025/2026 Regulations, Article 5 Paragraph 7 concerning security and comfort, as well as Article 141 of the PSSI Disciplinary Code 2023, away team supporters are still forbidden from attending matches directly at the stadium. We understand the longing of Bobotoh to accompany the team wherever we play, but this rule applies to all clubs and must be adhered to for collective safety.”
Adhit expressed hope that all parties involved would exercise greater caution and wisdom in their support, recognizing the impact their actions have on the club and the wider football community.
“We believe Bobotoh can demonstrate maturity in supporting Persib. The passion and loyalty of our supporters are a great strength for the team, and we want that positive energy to be channeled without violating any rules,” he concluded, appealing to the responsible spirit of the fanbase.
Moving forward, Persib Bandung is committed to continuously enhancing coordination with match organizers and relevant stakeholders. This concerted effort aims to uphold match security and foster a safe and comfortable football atmosphere for all participants and spectators, ensuring future games are free from similar incidents.
