Witan Sulaeman Commits to Persija with New Three-Year Deal and Championship Ambitions

Witan Sulaeman has officially extended his contract with Persija Jakarta, securing his place at the club for the next three seasons. The agreement reflects the club's determination to maintain a competitive squad and strengthen its attacking options as it prepares for another challenging Super League campaign. Club officials believe retaining one of their key players will improve their chances of competing for the league title.

Since joining Persija, Witan has established himself as an important figure in the team's forward line. His pace, creativity, and ability to create scoring opportunities have made him a valuable asset in the club's tactical setup. During the 2025/2026 Super League season, the Indonesian international contributed one goal and three assists, highlighting his influence despite the fierce competition.

The club's leadership remains confident that the 24-year-old winger has significant room for growth. Management expects that continued development, combined with the arrival of the new coaching staff, will help Witan elevate his performances and play an even greater role in the team's pursuit of domestic success over the coming seasons.

For Witan, extending his stay goes beyond professional considerations. His strong connection to Persija Jakarta, the city, and its passionate supporters played a major role in his decision to remain with the club. Having previously experienced European football, he now aims to dedicate his experience and commitment to achieving greater success in Indonesia.

Looking ahead, Witan is eager to work under the guidance of the club's new head coach while pursuing unfinished goals with Persija. His primary objective is to help the team capture the Super League title, bringing pride to the club, the city of Jakarta, and the loyal Jakmania supporters who have continued to stand behind the team.
