Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung has publicly expressed his strong belief that Persija Jakarta will emerge victorious against fierce rivals Persib Bandung. This highly anticipated Super League 2025/26 clash is scheduled to take place at Stadion Segiri in Samarinda on Sunday, May 10, 2026, with kickoff slated for 3:30 PM WIB.
Pramono Anung, speaking from the Rasuna Said area in Jakarta on Sunday, May 10, 2026, unequivocally articulated his fervent hopes for the capital’s club. “First of all, regarding the Persija-Persib match, as the Governor of Jakarta, I will certainly pray for Persija to win,” he stated, underlining his unwavering support for the team representing the city he leads.
When pressed for a specific score prediction, the Governor reiterated his conviction without divulging any exact figures. His response was a resolute affirmation of faith in Persija’s success. “Persija will win. Bismillah, Persija will win,” he declared, invoking a powerful expression of hope and blessing for their triumph.
Interestingly, this critical encounter between the two Indonesian football giants is being held in Samarinda due to a significant change in venue. The decision to host the match away from Jakarta stemmed from the unavailability of a permit for the use of the Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) Main Stadium, a prominent venue in the capital city.
The relocation of the match was formally outlined in Circular #55, titled “Adjustment of BRI Super League 2025/26 Competition Venue,” which was issued by I.League on May 6, 2026. This official document clarified that the Persija Jakarta vs Persib Bandung fixture, originally slated for the Jakarta International Stadium, also in Jakarta, has now been definitively moved to Stadion Segiri in Samarinda.
