jpnn.com – BANDUNG – Persib Bandung coach Bojan Hodak said that his team should be wary of the strength of the teams in Group A of the 2024 President’s Cup. Apart from Persib Bandung, Group A is filled by PSM Makassar, Borneo FC, and Persis Solo.
“This is a tough group because there are PSM, Borneo, and (Persis) Solo. They are all good teams. It will be tough,” Hodak said in Bandung, Wednesday (17/7).
Persib Bandung will play in the 2024 President’s Cup pre-season tournament, which starts on Friday (19/7).
The match will be held at the Si Jalak Harupat Stadium, Soreang, Bandung Regency, West Java.
Meanwhile, the matches in Group B consisting of Bali United, Persija Jakarta, Arema FC, and Madura United, will be held at the Captain I Wayan Dipta Stadium, Bali.
According to Bojan, competing in the President’s Cup will be used as capital for his team ahead of the 2024/2025 Liga 1 competition which starts in August.
The Croatian tactician admitted that preparations were not optimal due to limited time. Moreover, the President’s Cup was only announced a week before the match began.
Moreover, they still have to wait for several new players who have not joined the team.
