        "content": "<p>Persib Bandung has barred their supporter group Bobotoh from lighting\nflares and firecrackers during the final of the BRI Super League\n2025\/2026 against Persijap Jepara at Gelora Bandung Lautan Api (GBLA)\nStadium on Saturday, 23 May. Deputy CEO Adhitia Putra Herawan asks\nsafety and compliance with regulations during the match up to the trophy\npresentation if Persib wins. \u2018We strictly prohibit the use of flares,\nfireworks, and similar items, specifically from the match start until\nthe trophy presentation,\u2019 Adhitia said. He explained that the use of\nflares can disrupt the event and reduce comfort for spectators and the\nbroadcasting. \u2018Because it is very disruptive. It goes dark, the smoke\nand all that; we fear it won\u2019t be good for broadcasting,\u2019 he said. He\nunderstands flare use is part of the culture of some supporter\ncommunities. However, Adhitia asked Bobotoh to restrain themselves until\nall official events are completed. \u2018Please do not do it until after the\ntrophy presentation if Persib wins,\u2019 he added. \u2018After that is finished,\nBobotoh are welcome to celebrate outside the stadium while maintaining\norder,\u2019 he said. Meanwhile, West Java Police (Karo Ops) Kombes Pol Laode\nAries said authorities will tighten checks on supporters to ensure all\nspectators comply with the regulations. Laode explained the security\npattern around the stadium will be divided into four rings, extending\nfrom the outer area to the entrances of the spectator stands.\n\u2018Spectators are prohibited from bringing dangerous items such as flares,\nfireworks, or items that can be thrown into the stadium. In addition,\nbeverages in plastic bottles and cans are also not allowed into the\nstands,\u2019 he said.<\/p>",
