Uston Nawawi is recorded from August 2023, while Aji Santoso’s tenure ran from October 2019 to August 2023.

Matos are recorded as returning to their previous clubs, while D. Rizky appears in both a loan departure and a later return. F. Damara and M. Hossem also appear in loan departures. D. Tumbas, Diego Maurício, D. Dimov, R. Oscario, Bramdani, M. Hidayat, L. Rizki and J. Amru are recorded as free agents, while K. Raditya is listed in a transfer to Persis Solo. Repeated-looking entries for A. Oktaviansyah and R. Lauhin mean this snapshot is not a complete departure total.

Transfers Synthesis
Taken together, the recorded movement pattern around the 2026 squad cycle is weighted toward free-agent activity on both sides. The arrivals snapshot contains a large group joining without a recorded fee, supplemented by two loans, three returns from loan and one other transfer entry. The departures snapshot is more varied: it includes free-agent exits, several loans, returns to previous clubs and a transfer involving K. Raditya. D. Rizky appears first in a loan departure and later in a return, illustrating how the same player can appear at different points in the cycle. Repeated-looking entries for A. Oktaviansyah and R. Lauhin also call for caution when interpreting the selected departure records. Overall, the available entries describe active squad turnover, but their selected and non-exhaustive nature prevents a complete balance of arrivals and departures. No transfer fees are recorded in the available movement details, so the financial scale of the activity cannot be assessed.
Leagues Persebaya Surabaya has participated in
Liga 1 is Persebaya’s latest and most recently active recorded competition, with participation listed from 2018 through 2025. That places the club in Indonesia’s top-flight context, although no 2026 competition entry is recorded. Piala Indonesia is a historical entry from 2018, while Piala Presiden is recorded for 2022. Friendlies Clubs appears for 2023 and is also historical rather than a current competitive assignment. The competition history therefore combines sustained Liga 1 participation with earlier cup and friendly records, without extending those older entries into the 2026 season.
More about Persebaya Surabaya
Persebaya Surabaya, formally Persatuan Sepak Bola Surabaya, is a historic football club from Surabaya in East Java, Indonesia. Founded in 1927, it traces its roots to the Soerabaiasche Indonesische Voetbal Bond, an early identity associated with the city’s organised football. Persebaya is regarded as one of the foundational institutions of Indonesian football and was a charter member of the PSSI. Its competitive history spans the Perserikatan, Liga Indonesia and modern professional eras, bringing multiple national titles across those phases. The club’s contemporary league home is Liga 1, Indonesia’s top division, where its green-and-white identity remains instantly recognisable.
Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium in western Surabaya is central to the club’s modern venue identity. Its large scale and intense atmosphere reflect the club’s unusually strong civic connection, while Gelora 10 November in Tambaksari remains an important historic ground in Persebaya’s local story. Matchdays are closely associated with Surabaya’s proud, demanding football culture and the fervour surrounding the Green Force, also known as Bajul Ijo.
The badge links the club directly to the city itself. A shark and crocodile, represented by Sura and Baya, face one another in the emblem, recalling the legendary duel from which Surabaya derives its name. Green traditionally dominates the home identity, supported by white and occasional black accents.
Persebaya’s modern professional structure includes corporate governance, but the club continues to preserve a community-rooted heritage and a close bond with its founding civic identity. Its football ecosystem combines regional development, especially the cultivation of East Javanese talent, with experienced domestic players and selected foreign recruits. The resulting profile is both historical and contemporary: a major Surabaya institution whose symbols, stadium, supporters and playing identity remain central to Indonesian football culture.
