Persib’s achievement of winning the Indonesian League title three times in a row will undoubtedly bring a flood of bonuses, with West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi promising a bonus, or ‘kadeudeuh’, to the club. The pledge was made during the launch of the Pancatakhta Champions Parade at Gedung Sate on Sunday (24/5).
“I will share the joy. I’m currently harvesting cattle and there’s definitely profit. I’m donating Rp1 billion from that profit to Persib. I’ll hand it over on 3 June 2026 at the West Java Regional House of Representatives to Pak Umuh and the team. Hopefully it can be used for satay and not for marriage again,” the governor joked.
The governor described today as an outpouring of joy from the bobotoh (Persib fans) celebrating the club’s extraordinary achievement of three consecutive league titles. Persib now has five official league titles in Indonesia. However, if they win four times, it would be extraordinary and special, and all celebrations should be joyous, loving, and build a positive image that Bandung and West Java are open spaces where everyone can be happy.
“Most importantly, Persib demonstrates itself as a professional club without government interference. I emphasise that Persib is a professional club that does not require government intervention, and winning proves true professionalism,” he stated.
Persib Bandung officially secured the Super League 2025/2026 title after drawing 0-0 with Persijap Jepara in the final match at Gelora Bandung Lautan Api (GBLA) Stadium on Saturday (23/5). The additional point from the closing match was sufficient for the Maung Bandung squad to secure the top position in the final standings.
Under coach Bojan Hodak, the squad concluded the competition with a total of 79 points from 34 matches. Despite having identical points to nearest rivals Borneo FC Samarinda in second place, Persib Bandung was declared champions due to a better head-to-head record.
Securing the nation’s top football trophy this season also sees the Blue Prince make new history in Indonesian football. Persib Bandung has achieved an impressive record by winning the Indonesian League for three consecutive seasons under tactical leadership of Bojan Hodak.
In addition to retaining the title, the West Java pride club also recorded an outstanding record as the only team unbeaten at home throughout the season. With this achievement, Persib Bandung, alongside Borneo FC, has been officially selected to represent Indonesia in the prestigious Asian Champions League next season.
According to Farhan, Persib’s valuation could be very high given its globally recognised brand equity.
West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi, alongside Bandung Mayor Muhammad Farhan, led the Persib Champions convoy starting from Bandung City Hall to Gedung Sate.
The Liga 1 2024/25 Best Player award was given to Spanish midfielder Tyronne del Pino, who was key to Persib’s championship success.
Police urged Bobotoh celebrating Persib’s victory to prioritise road safety and comply with traffic regulations.
Bandung Mayor Muhammad Farhan expressed pride in Persib’s achievements and urged orderly celebrations.
While last year’s festivities were concentrated in the Gasibu area, this year’s sea of Bobotoh filled almost the entire convoy route from Gedung Sate to the Pendopo.
The victory celebration for Persib was conducted through community effort, including cleaning the Kaliki Public Sports Stadium (SOR) in Mangunreja District, Tasikmalaya Regency, West Java.
Persib’s success is hoped to inspire the youth, particularly in fostering a fighting spirit, hard work, and consistency in achieving success.
