Borneo FC Announces Departure of Six Key Players Ahead of New Season
Borneo FC has confirmed the departure of six key players as the club looks to restructure its squad ahead of the new season. The East Kalimantan-based team, which has been a prominent force in Indonesia’s Liga 1, made the announcement in a statement released earlier this week, marking the end of an era for several crucial members of the squad.
Among the players leaving are experienced defender Hansamu Yama, who has been a mainstay in the heart of Borneo’s defense for several seasons. His leadership and composure have been central to the team’s defensive solidity, and his departure will leave a significant gap at the back.
Joining him in the exit is Gerry Ahmad, a talented midfielder known for his creativity and ability to dictate play. Gerry’s vision and passing range made him an integral part of Borneo’s midfield engine, and his absence is expected to leave a void in the team’s buildup play.
Matheus Pato, the Brazilian forward who has been a fan favorite, will also be leaving. Pato’s goal-scoring ability and dynamic presence in the final third played a key role in Borneo’s attack. His departure raises questions about how the club will replace his offensive output as they aim to remain competitive in the league.
Along with Pato, Borneo also confirmed the departures of Ardan Aras, Irfan Jaya, and Andika Wijaya. While all have been important contributors in recent seasons, their exits signal a shift in strategy for the club’s future direction.
While the club has yet to announce replacements, the departures suggest that Borneo FC will be undergoing significant changes in their squad ahead of the new campaign. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how the club will rebuild and adapt to these changes, with hopes of maintaining their competitive edge in Liga 1. The club has promised to focus on bringing in new talent to complement the squad and ensure that the club remains a strong contender for the upcoming season.
Borneo FC’s front office has assured supporters that the team will continue to focus on developing young talent and strengthening areas of need ahead of the new season’s challenges.
