Family's Lives Threatened: Thom Haye Reveals Terrifying Threats After Persib's Victory Over Persija at GBLA

The recent win by Persib Bandung over Persija Jakarta during the 17th week of the BRI Super League 2025/2026 has been overshadowed by alarming incidents. Key midfielder, Thom Haye, revealed the shocking threats received by his family. Following the fiercely contested ‘Derby Indonesia’ at Gelora Bandung Lautan Api Stadium, Haye urged a stop to the alarming acts of aggression and intimidation. ‘I can tolerate many things as a professional, but football should never extend beyond acceptable limits,’ stated Haye. He emphasized the importance of joint efforts to foster a more civilized atmosphere in Indonesian football. On the field, the victory was secured by a strike from Beckham Putra in the fifth minute. However, the match turned tense when Persija defender, Bruno Tubarao, received a red card for unsportsmanlike conduct. Despite having a numerical advantage, Persib couldn’t extend their lead. Thom Haye, proud of the team’s performance, expressed sorrow that vital sporting moments can be overshadowed by inappropriate behavior from both players and supporters.
