Persib Bandung's collision with Thailand's Port FC at the President Cup 2025 is more than just a kick-off to the tournament; it's the debut of Persib’s fresh lineup. The match, starting at 15:30 WIB on July 6 at Si Jalak Harupat Stadium, promises an adrenaline rush. It’s a chance for Persib's new signings to dazzle as they defend their glory.
Brace yourselves for the clash because Port FC isn't treating this like just another friendly. They finished fifth in the Thai League last season and are ready to spoil Persib's reign at home. With Asnawi Mangkualam as the spotlight and goal machine Matheus Pato on their side, Port FC is geared up to ruffle some feathers in Bandung.
All eyes are on the new faces at Persib like Adam Przybek, Patricio Matricardi, and Uilliam Barros. Saddil Ramdani and Alfreanda Dewangga are also set to make impactful returns. On the flip side, Port FC hopes to leverage Matheus Pato’s attacking prowess, the top scorer of the 2022/23 Liga 1 season, as they aim to breach Persib’s stronghold.
Both teams have had mixed performances recently. Persib's prelude to this tournament saw highs and lows, ranging from a win against Persis Solo to a slip against Malut United and draws in between. Port FC’s latest form includes a vigorous victory over Rayong FC yet stumbles like their loss to Prachuap FC. The last encounters between these rivals ended in a draw and a narrow victory for Port, setting the stage for an unpredictable face-off. Viewers can catch this epic match on Indosiar and Vidio.
