Persija Jakarta, a well-known football club, has recently announced its new lineup of players in anticipation of the upcoming season. The team, also known as the Kemayoran Tigers, has taken full advantage of the 2022/2023 Liga 1 season transfer market by welcoming 11 talented individuals who are ready to defend the capital team.
Notable additions to the Persija roster include Witan Sulaeman, formerly of AS Trecin, Rahma Niko from Karo United, Birrul Walidain from Madura United, Dandi Maulana from Persebaya Surabaya, and Aji Kusuma from Persiba Balikpapan.
Witan Sulaeman, who made his debut through the official Instagram @persija, first gained attention while playing for Persab Brebes in the Soeratin Cup in 2016. After showcasing his skills for PSIM Yogyakarta in 2020, the 21-year-old has now joined Persija Jakarta following scouting by the Slovak club, AS Trencin. His contract with Persija is set to run until 2026.
Rahma Niko, originally from Karo United, transitioned to Persija on January 30, 2023. Born on July 14, 2000, in Kuantan Singingi, Riau, Indonesia, Niko has established himself as a formidable starting player, making 5 appearances for his former club. His move to Persija comes with a 3.5-year contract.
Birrul Walidain, a 27-year-old full-back, has made the switch from Madura United to join the ranks of the Kemayoran Tigers. After representing Madura United in the 2022/2023 BRI League 1 season, Walidain is now set to wear the number 28 jersey for Persija until the end of the season.
Another noteworthy addition to the team is Dandi Maulana, who previously played for Persebaya Surabaya. This seasoned defender, who briefly played for Barito Putera before joining Persebaya, garnered attention for his performances in the Liga 1 2022/2023. Dandi is now tasked with strengthening Persija’s defensive line under the guidance of coach Thomas Doll.
Lastly, Aji Kusuma, a relatively unfamiliar name, has joined Persija Jakarta after showcasing his talent with Persiba Balikpanan in Liga 2. Despite only playing three matches in the league, Kusuma has already made a significant impact by scoring two goals, demonstrating remarkable skill and endurance on the field.
These new acquisitions are poised to bring fresh talent and energy to Persija Jakarta as they prepare for the upcoming season. For further information, please stay tuned for updates on VOI.ID.
