Piala Presiden 2025: A Stage for Proving Potential
Dewa United Banten FC is gearing up for their debut in the Piala Presiden 2025. The Banten Warriors are entering not just as participants, but with the impressive status of being the runners-up in the 2024/25 Liga 1 season.
Tournament Schedule and Group Details
The Piala Presiden 2025 is scheduled from July 6-14. In this prestigious preseason tournament, Dewa United is placed in Group B alongside hosts Persib Bandung and Port FC.
Beyond a Warm-Up: A Platform for Historical Achievements
For Dewa United, the Piala Presiden 2025 is more than just a warm-up for the upcoming season. It’s a crucial platform to prove they are not a one-season wonder. This tournament is an opportunity to make history and solidify their presence among the elite of national football.
Strong Foundation and Continuous Investment
The success of Dewa United in securing a top-two finish in Liga 1 last season was not a stroke of luck. The club is renowned for its modern organizational structure and continuous investment, both in management and player development.
Star Players: Egy Maulana Vikri and Ricky Kambuaya
One of the key strengths of Dewa United for this tournament lies in the skills of their standout players. The club boasts two regulars of the Indonesian national team: Egy Maulana Vikri and Ricky Kambuaya.
Egy serves as a dynamic force on the wing. His agility, vision, and ability both to score and assist make him a formidable threat to any defense.
Meanwhile, Ricky Kambuaya commands the midfield with his energetic play. His ability to dribble, defend, and execute penetrating passes makes the Kambuaya-Egy duo a potent combination, enabling Dewa United to be both attractive and efficient.
International Flare: Quality Foreign Players
Besides these key players, Dewa United’s lineup includes high-caliber foreign talents who have been consistent performers throughout the season. These include Alex Martins, the Liga 1 top scorer last season with 26 goals, Taisei Marukawa, Sonny Stevens, and Risto Mitrevski.
Tactical Command and Solid Management
Under the leadership of coach Jan Olde Riekerink, who emphasizes ball control and rapid transitions, Dewa United has become one of the most entertaining teams to watch in Liga 1. They are not only adept at counterattacks but also capable of controlling the game from the midfield.
Foundations for Success: Professionalism and Financial Backing
Beyond technical strength, Dewa United enjoys solid management and adequate financial support. The professionalism infused from the top levels to the coaching staff provides a strong foundation to withstand tournament pressures.
A Strong Contender for the Piala Presiden 2025 Title
With all these attributes, Dewa United is rightfully regarded as a strong contender for the Piala Presiden 2025 title. It will be interesting to see how far the Banten-based club goes in this prestigious competition.
