- Ketua Komdis PSSI Umar Husein menegaskan insiden penyerangan bus Persib U-18 dan penyerangan terhadap suporter The Jakmania Cikampek merupakan tindak pidana umum, bukan pelanggaran disiplin sepak bola.
- Regulasi Kode Disiplin PSSI 2025 Pasal 70 membatasi kewenangan Komdis hanya sampai ring dua stadion, sehingga peristiwa di luar area pertandingan sulit dijerat sanksi klub.
- Tuntutan pengurangan poin Persija dan pelarangan awaydays The Jakmania dinilai tidak memiliki dasar hukum yang kuat, sementara klub tetap menanggung beban finansial atas perilaku oknum suporter.
Chairman of the PSSI Disciplinary Committee (Komdis), Umar Husein, has spoken out in response to calls for Persija Jakarta to be sanctioned with a points deduction and an awaydays ban for The Jakmania. The calls emerged after an attack on the Persib Bandung U-18 team bus and an attack suffered by The Jakmania Cikampek supporters on their way home from Bantul, Yogyakarta.
Umar stressed that both incidents fall under general criminal law, not football disciplinary violations. According to him, the PSSI Disciplinary Committee has no jurisdiction to handle incidents that take place outside the stadium area. "Everyone in the football family should be concerned," he said when contacted on Wednesday (14/10/2026).
The statement responds to narratives circulating on social media and among some supporters demanding heavy punishment for Persija. They argue the attack on the Persib U-18 bus is a failure of supporter management that should carry competition sanctions. However, Umar considers such demands to misunderstand the limits of the Disciplinary Committee's authority.
The new PSSI regulation does give the Disciplinary Committee room to punish clubs for supporter misconduct, but only for violations that occur inside or around the stadium. Article 70 Point 4 states that bad behavior by spectators outside the stadium perimeter can be punished, but the parties responsible are not limited to the club; they also include the organizing committee and the spectators themselves. The outer perimeter in question is the outer line of ring 1 and/or ring 2 up to the stadium's outermost fence.
Because the incidents occurred en route, the Disciplinary Committee cannot reach this case. Umar then highlighted the burden clubs bear due to the behavior of certain supporters. "Club owners have shed blood, sweat, and tears managing their clubs, their money is gone. Then you want to casually throw firecrackers? The club pays, not the thrower," he stressed.
"People don't understand, that's the thing. What are you going to do? Everyone in the football family should be concerned."
— Umar Husein, Chairman of the PSSI Disciplinary Committee
Umar's statement implies that a points deduction or an awaydays ban is not the right solution. He instead encourages collective awareness so that supporters do not harm clubs that have invested heavily. As of this news being published, there has been no official decision from the Disciplinary Committee regarding the demands.
This case is a test for disciplinary enforcement in Indonesian football. On one hand, the public demands club accountability for supporter behavior. On the other hand, existing regulations limit the Disciplinary Committee's intervention to incidents outside the stadium. Going forward, there needs to be a regulatory update capable of reaching supporter actions outside the match area without ignoring the principle of fairness. Will PSSI revise the Disciplinary Code to accommodate demands like this?
