End of an Era: Arema FC Bids Farewell to Lucas Frigeri

Arema FC officially parted ways with Brazilian goalkeeper Lucas Frigeri after the expiration of his contract on May 25, 2026. The decision closed an important chapter for the club, as Frigeri had become one of the most influential figures in the squad during his two seasons with the Singo Edan.

Throughout his time in Malang, Frigeri established himself as a reliable presence between the posts. The experienced goalkeeper made 59 appearances across all competitions and consistently delivered strong performances that strengthened Arema's defensive line. His calm attitude and leadership qualities also made him a respected figure inside the dressing room.

One of the defining moments of his career with Arema came during the 2024 President's Cup final against Borneo FC. In a dramatic penalty shootout, Frigeri stepped forward to take the decisive kick and successfully secured the title for his team. The unforgettable moment elevated his status among supporters and became one of the club's most memorable recent achievements.

Beyond statistics and trophies, Frigeri left a lasting impression through his fighting spirit and strong mentality on the pitch. At the age of 36, he showed composure in high-pressure situations and often inspired his teammates with his determination and professionalism during crucial matches.

Arema FC's management expressed appreciation for the Brazilian goalkeeper's dedication and contribution over the last two years. The club emphasized that Frigeri played an important role in the team's journey, especially during the successful President's Cup campaign, while also wishing him success in the next stage of his football career.
