TRIBUJABAR.ID - Fans of Persib Bandung who have been longing to see their favorite team in action can still watch several of its players competing during the upcoming international fixtures.

Currently, Persib Bandung are enjoying an off-season break after finishing the 2025/2026 campaign as Super League champions.

Typically, the off-season break between competitions lasts between eight to twelve weeks, or roughly two to three months.

During this period, clubs usually take the opportunity to rest, allow players and staff to go on vacation, scout new talent, work on transfers, and prepare for the upcoming season.

For Persib Bandung, the early part of this off-season still offers fans the chance to watch four of their players in action during the FIFA Matchday fixtures in June 2026.

The four Persib Bandung players called up for national duty are Beckham Putra and Saddil Ramdani for the Indonesia National Team, Nazriel Alfaro for Indonesia U19, and Frans Putros for the Iraq National Team.

Here is the full schedule of Persib Bandung players representing their national teams during the June 2026 FIFA Matchday:

1. Indonesia National Team

Beckham Putra and Saddil Ramdani have both been named in John Herdman’s final 23-man Indonesia National Team squad for this FIFA Matchday series.

The Indonesia National Team will play two friendly matches at Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK):

"Thank God, I’m very grateful to be trusted again to represent the Indonesia National Team," said Saddil Ramdani, as quoted from the club’s official website on Tuesday (2 June 2026).

Looking ahead to the upcoming matches, Saddil Ramdani expressed his determination to contribute his best for the team.

"My goal is to always give my best whenever given the chance by the coach, work hard in every training session and match, and help the team achieve the best results to make Indonesia proud," he added.
