Bhayangkara FC has made the deliberate decision to omit Witan Sulaeman from their lineup for the upcoming Liga 1 2023/2024 match against Persija Jakarta on Monday, November 27th, 2023, at 19.00 WIB.
Witan, who was recently acquired on loan from Persija, will not be competing against his former team. This decision was made in adherence to the loan agreement and other pertinent factors. Despite Witan’s recent arrival at Bhayangkara, the club has chosen to honor the agreement with Persija and refrain from allowing his participation in the match.
The loan arrangement for Witan had initially sparked controversy due to his exceptional performance for Persija. In his last two matches with the team, he netted three goals and provided one assist, significantly contributing to their consecutive victories over PSM Makassar and Persikabo 1973.
Notwithstanding this, Persija consented to release Witan to Bhayangkara on loan during the mid-season transfer window. Alongside Witan’s arrival, Bhayangkara has implemented several noteworthy changes, including the recruitment of eight new players and the appointment of a new coach, Mario Gomez.
These measures were taken with the aim of improving the team’s performance and solidifying their standing, as Bhayangkara presently finds themselves in a precarious position with only nine points accumulated thus far.
The decision regarding Witan’s involvement in the upcoming match underscores Bhayangkara’s commitment to honoring agreements with other clubs and respecting the terms of player loans. It also reflects their dedication to upholding integrity and fairness in their sporting pursuits.
As the match between Bhayangkara and Persija draws near, it will be intriguing to observe how both teams perform in the absence of Witan and the potential impact of this decision on the game’s outcome. This serves to underscore the importance of ethical considerations and sportsmanship in professional football, as clubs strive to achieve their objectives while upholding the principles of fair play and respect for their counterparts.
