Bandung –
Persib Bandung is preparing to celebrate the 2025/2026 Super League championship. The final match against Persijap Jepara at GBLA Stadium on Saturday, May 23, 2026, will be decisive for Maung Bandung to make history for the first time.
In that final match, Persib only needs a draw to secure the title for the third consecutive time. With that result, Persib’s points would be unreachable by their competitor, Borneo FC.
Therefore, preparations for Persib’s championship celebration are now being finalized. The victory parade route will start from Gedung Sate and end at the JPO on Jalan Asia Afrika for the trophy lifting ceremony.
“For the Persib convoy, we must anticipate two things. First, God willing, hopefully we will be blessed with another championship. So the convoy will follow the results of the meeting with the Deputy Governor. Since the home base is Gedung Sate, I must join the parade,” said Farhan on Wednesday, May 20, 2026.
“I will join the parade from Gedung Sate to Gedung Merdeka, and from Gedung Merdeka the trophy will be paraded to the pendopo for lunch,” Farhan added.
Furthermore, Farhan admitted he has prepared for the worst-case scenario if Persib’s progress does not go as hoped. He does not want the euphoria to end in chaos.
“Regarding security, if the news is good, then security will be deployed to manage the enthusiasm. But in any case, there is a contingency plan, and it will be maintained if things do not go as expected,” he said.
“Let’s say we lose and Borneo wins. Then there must still be anticipation to prevent the expansion of disappointment from turning into a riot,” he added.
Therefore, Farhan said, Bandung will be busy this weekend welcoming the convoy of fans on the main road. He hopes the event will proceed smoothly without causing any problems on the ground.
“So there are two things we must monitor. First, on match day, the 23rd. Second, during the parade on the 24th, and the ongoing euphoria until the 25th. These three days are important days for us to take care of together,” he said.
“Previously, there were already 19 accidents, and 13 of them were referred to the hospital. There was also a brawl that left one victim stabbed and one perpetrator already detained at the Lengkong Police Station. So we urge all residents not to let this euphoria be expressed excessively. Let’s not have accidents. Be careful, make sure we can still control ourselves,” he concluded.
