The management of Bhayangkara FC and Dewa United are investigating a kick incident involving players from both clubs during the Elite Pro Academy (EPA) U-20 event.

It is known that during the match between Bhayangkara FC and Dewa United, which took place on Sunday, April 19, 2026, a brawl broke out among players.

This is suspected to have been triggered by Bhayangkara FC player Fadly Alberto kicking Dewa United player Rakha Nurholis.

However, circulating information suggests that Dewa United actually initiated the kick first, leading to retaliatory actions.

Firman Utina, Director of the Dewa United Academy, said the team will investigate the players and staff involved in the violent incident during the match.

“We will talk to the players. If they are indeed involved in this case, they will follow the punishment from the rules we have established at Dewa United,” he said in Tangerang on Wednesday, April 22, 2026.

Similarly, Bhayangkara FC U-20 Manager Yongki Pandu Pamungkas is also investigating his players. “Certainly, we have already given punishment to those involved,” he stated.

The team will conduct evaluations and provide guidance to those involved, while awaiting sanctions from the PSSI Disciplinary Committee (Komdis).

“As for us, we highly uphold sportsmanship. Not just fighting, but even receiving five yellow cards in a single match results in punishment for the players. In the future, we will provide further guidance while waiting for sanctions from Komdis,” he concluded.
