A separate incident in the match between PSM Makassar and Persib Bandung saw fans invading the pitch, prompting debate over the effectiveness of PSSI's Disciplinary Committee sanctions and calls for clearer rules on away supporters and flare use.",
        "content": "<p>The spate of supporter riots has again surfaced in Indonesian\nfootball as the Super League and Championship\u2014the top and second-tier\nleagues in the country\u2014near the end of the season. The disruption\nfollowed Persipura Jayapura\u2019s 0-1 defeat to Adhyaksa FC at Lukas Enembe\nStadium, which left the Mutiara Hitam unable to secure promotion. As a\nconsequence, Persipura were fined a total of Rp240 million and banned\nfrom hosting home matches with spectators for a full season in\n2026-2027. The sanction increases Persipura\u2019s operational burden due to\nthe loss of revenue from ticket sales and home support. Before the Lukas\nEnembe controversy was resolved, another incident occurred in the match\nbetween PSM Makassar and Persib Bandung, when several supporters entered\nthe pitch, heating the match atmosphere. The spate of supporter violence\nin Indonesian football raises questions about the effectiveness of\nsanctions from the PSSI Disciplinary Committee (Komdis). Fines of\nhundreds of millions of rupiah, bans on playing in front of spectators,\nand a full-season ban have apparently failed to halt actions that harm\nthe clubs themselves. Persija Jakarta\u2019s match organiser chief, Ferry\nIndrasjarief, said that firm sanctions are necessary to prevent similar\nincidents from spreading to other matches. \u201cBut if it continues to\nrecur, then something is still lacking,\u201d he added. He argued that the\nregulations to date focus too much on the interests of the competition\nand sponsors, while supporters\u2019 aspirations are often ignored, leading\nto much supporter dissatisfaction. Examples include away supporter bans\nand restrictions on tribune creativity such as flares, which he says\nneed clearer rules. \u201cIf flares are prohibited for the 2x45 minutes, the\nrules must be clear. For example, should it be allowed after the match\nfinishes, or how,\u201d said the man known as Bung Ferry.<\/p>",
