FIFA has officially lifted the player registration ban on Persib Bandung that had been in place since 29 May 2026. The sanction, linked to a contract dispute with former player Daisuke Sato, has now ended ahead of the 2026-2027 season.

Persib's sanction status changed on the official FIFA website on Wednesday, 22 July 2026 around 23:30 WIB. The lifting allows the club to register new players in line with competition regulations.

The sanction was related to the settlement of Daisuke Sato's contract termination in 2023, not unpaid wages. Deputy CEO of PT Persib Bandung Bermartabat Adhitia Putra Herawan confirmed this.

"With this, the matter is not related to player salary arrears or any form of neglect of players' rights," Adhitia said. Persib, champions of the Super League 2025-2026, have already signed several new players including Mariano Peralta.
