Persija auctions signed squad jerseys to aid disaster victims in Sumatra.

Persija Jakarta demonstrates its commitment to humanitarian missions. This time, the Kemayoran Tigers are auctioning signed jerseys from all players and Ilham Rio Fahmi's match-worn jersey to support communities affected by disasters in North Sumatra, West Sumatra, and Aceh.

Persija representative Ferry Indrasjarief emphasized that the main jerseys being auctioned are not merely collectibles. According to him, these items symbolize solidarity between the club, Jakmania supporters, and disaster victims in Sumatra.

"These jerseys represent the hope we wish to send to our brothers and sisters in Sumatra," he stated during a press conference in Jakarta on Friday, December 5, 2025.

In addition to the signed squad jerseys, Persija is also auctioning Ilham Rio Fahmi's match-worn jersey from the 2024 U-23 Asian Cup in Qatar. The emotional and historical value of this jersey is expected to boost donor enthusiasm.

This fundraising initiative, organized by Persija with Bakrie Untuk Negeri, runs from December 3–12, 2025. All auction mechanisms and donation information will be announced through Persija's and Bakrie Untuk Negeri's official Instagram accounts.

"Our hope is simple: this activity can ease the burden of our brothers and sisters facing difficult times. We want to convey that they are not alone," he expressed.

Bakrie Untuk Negeri representative Ilham Fahmi Idris added that this collaboration aims to accelerate disaster recovery, particularly in Aceh—one of the hardest-hit regions.

"We hope this cooperation will ease the situation for affected communities there," Ilham said.

Regarding fund management, Bakrie Amanah representative Nasafi Pramunuha guaranteed full transparency.

The national zakat institution will manage all donations through the aksisosial.id platform, which displays real-time updates on fund usage.

This marks the second collaboration between Persija, Bakrie Untuk Negeri, and Bakrie Amanah. Previously, they held a jersey auction to support disaster response in Lewotobi, East Nusa Tenggara.

Currently, only Rio Fahmi's jersey is ready for auction, but additional memorabilia from other players remains a possibility.

Support for this movement is already flowing from Jakmania communities across regions. Persija is even coordinating with Jakmania Padang regarding aid delivery plans during Persija's December 22 match at GOR Agus Salim Stadium.

However, venue changes may occur due to extreme weather or solidarity considerations affecting match organization.

This memorabilia auction proves football transcends competition—it embodies empathy and community strength in helping others. (Antara)
