“We will take firm action against any attempt to bring flares, fireworks, sharp weapons, or other dangerous objects. Spectators are expected to remain orderly so as not to harm themselves or others,” he said.

It is known that Persija currently sits in third place in the temporary standings with 62 points from 30 matches. The capital city team is seven points behind Persib Bandung and Borneo FC, who occupy the top two positions.
Although favored on paper, Persija is expected to find it difficult to steal points in Jepara. This is because Persijap is also fighting to stay away from the relegation zone.
