Borneo FC Selected to Compete in Esteemed Football Tournament
In a notable development, Borneo FC has been chosen to represent Indonesia in the upcoming ASEAN Club Championship (ACC) 2024/2025. This decision arose after Persija Jakarta declined the opportunity in order to concentrate on preparations for the impending Liga 1 season.
Initially, PSM Makassar and Persija Jakarta were set to represent Indonesia in the ACC 2024/2025 as the champions and runners-up of Liga 1 2022/2023. However, with Persija Jakarta withdrawing, Borneo FC stepped in as the replacement. The team, also known as Pesut Etam, secured their position in the competition as the Regular Series Champion of Liga 1 2023/2024.
The draw for the ACC 2024/2025 occurred on Thursday, May 9, 2024, in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. PSM Makassar has been allocated to Group A and will be competing against BG Pathum United (Thailand), Terengganu FC (Malaysia), and Doang A Thanh Hoa FC (Vietnam). The remaining two clubs in Group A will be determined through the playoffs.
In contrast, Borneo FC has been placed in Group B, alongside Buriram United (Thailand), Kuala Lumpur City FC (Malaysia), Cong An Hanoi FC (Vietnam), Kaya FC Iloilo (Philippines), and Lion City Sailors FC (Singapore).
Scheduled to take place from July 2024 to May 2025, the ACC showcases the top clubs from across the ASEAN region, promising an engaging and fiercely competitive tournament for football enthusiasts.
As we eagerly await the commencement of the competition, it is crucial to recognize the importance of Indonesia’s representation on the international stage.

The 2024/2025 ACC presents a unique opportunity for Borneo FC to make an impression and exhibit the competitive prowess of Indonesian football. As the team prepares for this endeavor, football fans across the nation will rally behind them, showing their unwavering support and enthusiasm for the upcoming tournament.
In conclusion, the selection of Borneo FC as Indonesia’s representative in the ACC 2024/2025 presents an exciting opportunity for the team and the nation as a whole. With the potential to make an impact on the regional football stage, all eyes will be on Borneo FC as they strive to leave a lasting impression in this prestigious tournament.
