A spirited atmosphere colored the public viewing event of the match held by HIS Entertainment at the USB YPKP area on Saturday (May 23, 2026). Thousands of Bobotoh from various areas in Bandung City filled the venue to support their beloved team in a warm, festive, and communal atmosphere.

Since the event began, the USB YPKP area was immediately filled with a sea of blue typical of Persib. Supporters came wearing jerseys, scarves, and other Maung Bandung attributes. The enthusiasm of the Bobotoh was evident from the start as they continuously chanted support while following the match together.

The activity was not only an occasion to watch the match but also a gathering space for various generations of Persib fans. The presence of Persib legends, Robby Darwis, Yudi Guntara, Asep Sumantri, Suwita Pata, and Wawan Hermawan, became a special attraction for the attending Bobotoh.

The Persib legends were warmly welcomed by supporters who wanted to take photos and chat directly. A nostalgic moment was felt when the former players reminisced about their journey with Persib in front of the loyal Maung Bandung supporters.

The event became more lively with the guidance of Kang Joe P-Project, who successfully created a relaxed yet energetic atmosphere. Laughter, cheers, and typical Bobotoh songs echoed throughout the event, creating an atmosphere like being directly in the stadium.

Founder of HIS Entertainment, H Iwan Setiawan, said the event was intentionally held to provide entertainment space while strengthening solidarity among Persib supporters. Football has great power in uniting people from various backgrounds.

“We want Bobotoh to enjoy the match comfortably and with a sense of togetherness. Persib is not just about football, but also about brotherhood and solidarity,” said Iwan during the event on Saturday (May 23, 2026).

Besides support for Persib, the event also became a moment to strengthen the relationship between the educational world and the supporter community. The event was also attended by the Chairman of the USB YPKP Foundation, Dr. H. Ricky Agusyadi, S.E., M.M., Ak., CfrA., CHRM, and the Rector of USB YPKP, Dr. H. Didin Saepudin, S.E., M.Si., along with campus officials.

The campus welcomed the activity, which was considered capable of providing healthy entertainment for the community, especially the younger generation. The presence of thousands of Bobotoh on campus also took place orderly and conducively throughout the event.

The festivity increased when all participants together sang typical Persib songs, Kami Biru, We Will Stay Behind You, and Aing Pendukung Persib. The songs echoed in the area and evoked a sense of pride as part of the big Bobotoh family.

Many participants captured the moments of togetherness through photos and videos. An emotional atmosphere was seen when supporters sang support songs while raising their Persib scarves together.

As a form of respect for Persib legends, the committee also gave souvenirs and monetary appreciation to the former players who attended. The presentation was made directly by H Iwan Setiawan along with USB YPKP leadership in front of the Bobotoh.

In addition to the public viewing, visitors were also entertained with musical performances, door prize giveaways, and interaction sessions with invited guests. The presence of Bobotoh communities from various regions made the atmosphere warmer and showed the strong loyalty of Persib supporters.

The activity proved that Bobotoh culture remains alive and continues to develop among the people of Bandung City. The public viewing is no longer just about watching a match, but also a space to strengthen social relationships among Persib supporters across generations.

Through this event, HIS Entertainment hopes that the spirit of solidarity and togetherness among Bobotoh can be maintained. The public viewing event is also expected to be positive entertainment that strengthens Bandung people’s love for Persib while maintaining a supportive culture in football.
