Jakarta Gov't to Prioritize JIS for Persija Matches

The Jakarta provincial government is set to prioritize the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) for Persija Jakarta football club, aiming to provide the team with a dedicated home ground for the 2026/2027 season. Governor Anies Baswedan announced that ongoing improvements to JIS, including better access for supporters, are intended to enhance the matchday experience for both the team and fans.

With that, I truly want Persija to feel the matches with a sense of security, comfort, and pride that matches for Jakarta are matches for themselves and also matches for their families.

"With that, I truly want Persija to feel the matches with a sense of security, comfort, and pride that matches for Jakarta are matches for themselves and also matches for their families," Baswedan stated. He plans to coordinate with Persija's management, The Jakmania supporters, and provincial officials to manage stadium usage, ensuring Persija does not have to share schedules, especially during crucial games.

The provincial government views its support for Persija as integral to fostering city pride. "For me, one of the ways to build Jakarta is to build pride, and Persija has become one of the prides of Jakarta residents," Baswedan added. This support is further bolstered by Bank DKI, a regional-owned enterprise, which is engaging with Persija through a collaboration that extends beyond traditional sponsorship.

Bank DKI's collaboration aims to integrate the football club's ecosystem with its financial services and technology offerings. Bank DKI President Director Agus H Widodo emphasized that the partnership is about connecting The Jakmania community with financial services and city services. "For us, this cooperation is not just about sponsorship. It's not just about the Bank DKI logo on Persija's jersey. We want to connect two major ecosystems in Jakarta, The Jakmania with the financial services, technology, and city ecosystem that we serve," Widodo said. The bank also launched its new digital platform, BankJakarta.co.id, as part of this initiative.
