Persija vs Persib: Super League 2026/2027's First Jakarta Duel at SUGBK

Persija Jakarta will face Persib Bandung in the second week of Super League 2026/2027's heated duel at SUGBK on Saturday September 12, 2026. This certainty has long been anticipated by The Jakmania since Persija last hosted Persib in Jakarta in 2026. After that, Macan Kemayoran often faced obstacles in organizing home games against their rival in the capital, even last season they had to play at Segiri Stadium in Samarinda. Persija coach Shin Tae-yong questioned the situation because home games should give equal opportunities. The duel at SUGBK is a fresh breeze for Persija, especially as the first chance for Shin to feel the rivalry atmosphere in Jakarta. Shin hopes Jakmania's big support will be additional energy. However, he requested supporters to maintain order so the atmosphere remains sportsmanlike. Shin recalled his experience at the Indonesia national team where 70,000 spectators never caused problems. The stands support can be a great power for Persija. Shin also asked Jakmania to support without problems so the team can continue playing at GBK.
