I have conveyed not to have any vehicle sweeping actions, because we are good hosts, good West Java residents, we must welcome guests from anywhere outside the region.

· Erwan SetiawanWest Java Deputy Governor, urging fans to maintain order and hospitality during the victory celebrations.

West Java Deputy Governor Erwan Setiawan, who attended the game, appealed to the public and Bobotoh to ensure a peaceful and orderly celebration during Persib's victory convoy scheduled for Sunday, May 24, 2026. He specifically warned against any "sweeping" actions targeting vehicles from outside the region, emphasizing the importance of hospitality.

Setiawan also advised residents from outside Bandung to avoid the city center on Sunday morning and afternoon due to expected traffic congestion caused by the convoy. The planned route for the convoy includes several major streets, starting from Gedung Sate and concluding at Gedung Merdeka, with an estimated duration of 3-4 hours beginning at 7:00 AM Western Indonesian Time (WIB). He expressed hope that the entire celebration would proceed safely and harmoniously without disrupting the public.

But yes, I apologize, as was conveyed by the Police Chief, for tomorrow morning until noon, don't go to the city area first, because of the traffic jam.
