Persib Officially Wins BRI League 1, Wins 4 Other Awards

BANDUNG, KOMPAS - Persib Bandung has officially become the champion of BRI Liga 1 2024/2025 on Saturday (24/5/2025). In addition to the main trophy, Persib also brought home four other awards, ranging from the best player to the best coach.

This season, Persib successfully retained the championship title by accumulating 69 points from 34 matches. This result was achieved with 19 wins, 12 draws, and 3 losses. Far ahead of other competitors, Persib secured the championship in the 31st week at the beginning of May 2025.

In total, Persib has won four championships in the era of the Indonesian League. Previously, "Maung Bandung" secured these titles in the 1994/1995, 2013, and 2023/2024 competition seasons.

After the final match against Persis Solo, which ended with a victory for Persib 3-2, the BRI Liga 1 trophy was presented directly by the Chairman of PSSI, Erick Thohir.

Given in the VIP Tribune, the trophy was received by Persib captain Marc Klok. Klok and Coach Bojan Hodak then brought the trophy to their teammates. The trophy was raised high and all players and officials celebrated, witnessed by thousands of Bobotoh, Persib supporters.

The ceremony underwent a change in concept from the initial plan. Initially, the trophy was to be presented on stage in the middle of the field. However, this was ultimately canceled.

The stage was already filled with Bobotoh who dared to get down from their seats. They even lit flares, making the atmosphere even more chaotic. The smoke from the flares covered almost all parts of the field.

This year, not only the trophy returned to Bandung. There were four other awards received by Persib coaches and players.

The title of best player, for instance, was awarded to Tyronne del Pino. The Spanish player, who was plagued by injuries last season, managed to score 18 goals for Persib. In addition to being a key striker among several forwards, he also became the heartbeat of Persib's gameplay.

Together with Gustavo Franca, Tyronne was also named one of the two out of 11 best players. Not to be missed, Bojan Hodak was awarded as the best coach. This marks the second title in two years representing Persib.

Meanwhile, on the same occasion other awards were also given. Malut United FC became the most supportive team (fair play). Malut only recorded 57 yellow cards and 4 red cards.

In addition to Gustavo and Franca, nine other players were named the best debut players in the league. They are goalkeeper Igor Rodriguez from Persita Tangerang, Fajar Fathurrahman (defender, Borneo FC), and Rizki Ridho (defender, Persija Jakarta).

In the center, there are Alexis Messidoro (Dewa United), Egy Maulana Vikri (Dewa), and Yakob Sayuri (Malut United). In front, the two best forwards are Aleks Martin (Dewa) and Mariano Peralta (Borneo).

Meanwhile, the award for the best goal was given to Ryzki Ridho during the match against Arema FC. Meanwhile, the best young player award was received by Arkhan Fikri (Arema). The top scorer title was claimed by Alex Martins with 26 goals.

Hodak expressed gratitude to all elements of the club that have collectively brought Persib to victory once again. He admitted that he has not yet thought about the steps for the upcoming season.

"Tonight I just want to rest to celebrate the victory tomorrow," he said.

Attacking midfielder of Persib, Beckham Putra Nugraha, expressed his gratitude for being able to bring the trophy back to Bandung. This title will serve as motivation for his team as they prepare to compete in Asian competitions.

"Today, let's celebrate Persib's victory. After this, support us in the Asian competition," said Beckham.

The President Director of PT Persib Bandung Bermartabat, Glen Sugita, expressed pride in leading Persib to become the defending champion of Liga 1. He hopes that all these achievements will pave the way for Persib to perform even better.

"Pray that next year Persib will be listed on the stock exchange. That way, Persib can be owned by all bobotoh," he said.
