While Indonesian football frequently chases international labels, Persebaya Surabaya is firmly holding its ground with local powerhouse AZA. The 2026/2027 season marks a massive milestone for the Green Force. Entering their tenth consecutive year working together, the partnership is a powerful statement of loyalty. It serves as a clear reminder that 100% homegrown craftsmanship can dictate the standard in the top flight.
Elite Performance and Proven Durability The new Player Issue Kit is engineered entirely for elite on-pitch performance. The technical numbers speak for themselves. The main fabric weighs a remarkably light 130 gsm, paired with 110 gsm mesh panels to ensure maximum mobility and breathability. But this lightweight construction is heavily armored. When competitor kits tore easily under pressure last season, Persebaya’s AZA fabric stayed completely intact during aggressive pulling and heavy tackles. Fully equipped with Anti-UV, Anti-Odor, and Quick Dry technology, this jersey proves that local manufacturing can easily rival global performance standards.
Challenging the Culture: The Implora Kiss The most disruptive design element of the season sits directly on the chest. Football has historically been boxed in as a strictly hyper-masculine space, but Persebaya and their new sponsor, beauty brand Implora, are actively flipping that narrative. Placed alongside the sponsor logo is a distinct lipstick kiss graphic. It is a sharp, intentional visual cue. The message is uncompromising and clear: women have a permanent, influential place at the very center of football culture.
The Collector’s Experience AZA is pushing this release beyond just a wearable shirt by tapping into modern collectible culture. Every Player Issue purchase includes a blind-packed Player Card featuring squad heavyweights like Rivera, Sananta, and Ernando. Equipped with a scannable QR code for authentication, these cards turn a standard matchday kit into a certified piece of club memorabilia.
Fans can secure the Persebaya 26/27 Player Issue Kit during the pre-order window starting today, September 4, through September 13 at a special rate of Rp599.000 at the official Persebaya Store.
