Arema FC Strengthens Defense with the Signing of Versatile Defender Alfeandra Dewangga

Arema FC has officially completed the signing of Alfeandra Dewangga as part of its preparations for the 2026/27 Super League season. The versatile 25-year-old defender arrives to reinforce the club's backline as the management aims to build a squad capable of competing near the top of the league standings.

Shortly after joining the team, Dewangga took part in his first training session and quickly experienced the welcoming atmosphere within the squad. The strong sense of unity among the players, along with the smooth interaction between local and foreign teammates, helped him settle into his new environment from the very beginning.

The former PSIS Semarang defender has adapted quickly thanks to the support of the coaching staff and his new teammates. This positive start is expected to help him develop strong chemistry with the squad before the new season officially begins.

Dewangga has made it clear that his primary objective is to contribute to Arema FC's ambitions after learning about the club's goal of finishing among the league's top teams. His commitment and determination are expected to add both quality and consistency to the defensive unit throughout the campaign.

According to Arema FC, the defender was signed through a permanent transfer from Persib Bandung because he remained under contract with the club. After completing the transfer, Arema secured his services on a two-year deal, with head coach Marcos Santos identifying Dewangga as an ideal addition to strengthen the team for the seasons ahead.
