The 2026/2027 BRI Super League enters the international break after three weeks of play, and the spotlight falls on three local players who delivered standout performances: Hamra Hehanussa, Arlyansyah Abdulmanan, and Zanadin Fariz. All three decided positive results for their respective clubs, proving that domestic talent can be the main actors on the national football stage.
Week three closed with Persib Bandung's dramatic 2-1 win over hosts Persijap Jepara at Stadion Gelora Bumi Kartini on Sunday (20/9/2026). As of that week, seven teams remained unbeaten: Persija Jakarta, Dewa United, Madura United, Bhayangkara FC, Persita Tangerang, Arema FC, and Persebaya Surabaya. The tight race at the top owes much to local players who are increasingly trusted to fill key positions.
Hamra Hehanussa, a 27-year-old defender, became Garudayaksa FC's hero in a 1-1 draw with Persebaya Surabaya at Stadion Gelora Bung Tomo on Saturday (19/9/2026). Playing the full 90 minutes, he was not only solid at the back but also scored the equalizer in the 89th minute, converting a cut back from Christian Frydek. Thanks to his heroic display, Hamra was named man of the match.
In Bali, Arlyansyah Abdulmanan again showed his class. The 20-year-old winger scored the only goal in Persija Jakarta's win over Java United FC at Stadion Kapten I Wayan Dipta, Gianyar, on Saturday (19/9/2026) night WIB. Latching onto a pass from Kerim Memija on the left, Arlyansyah calmly slotted the ball into the opponent's net. The goal ensured Macan Kemayoran secured three straight wins and third place in the provisional standings with nine points.
Meanwhile, Zanadin Fariz stood out as Persik Kediri drew 1-1 with Arema FC at Stadion Kanjuruhan, Malang, on Friday (18/9/2026). The 22-year-old midfielder scored a spectacular goal with a long-range shot from outside the penalty box that the opposing goalkeeper could not reach. The performance earned him man of the match and young player of the week for week three.
"The performances of these three players show that youth development in Indonesia is starting to bear fruit. They are no longer just complements, but have become decisive in match outcomes," said a national football observer.
The trio's contribution is a breath of fresh air for Indonesian football, which is in the midst of reform. Clubs' trust in local players, especially young ones, is growing. This aligns with the federation's program encouraging clubs to give more playing minutes to domestic talent. As a result, competition in the Indonesia national team is tighter, and the coach has more quality options.
After the FIFA Matchday break, the BRI Super League will resume. The challenge for Hamra, Arlyansyah, and Zanadin is to maintain consistency. If they can continue their positive trend, it is not impossible that they will become the backbone of their clubs while strengthening the Indonesia national team in upcoming international events. Can they prove that the dominance of young local players is not merely a fleeting euphoria?
