FIFA has not lifted Persib Bandung's registration ban as of July 4 2026. This prevents the registration of Ragnar Oratmangoen and Sandy Walsh despite their official signings.
Persib Bandung has been under a FIFA sanction since May 29 2026 due to a contract dispute with former player Daisuke Sato. The compensation owed was reduced to around Rp2.7 billion after an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
The ban remains until lifted so Persib cannot register new players including Ragnar Oratmangoen and Sandy Walsh. The club has also signed Gabriel Mutombo, Luka Menalo, and Gakuto Notsuda.
Deputy CEO of PT Persib Bandung Bermartabat Adhitia Putra Herawan stated the ban applies only to the registration stage not to contract negotiations or signings. Persib will compete in four competitions next season.
