Kung Fu Kick Incident in Indonesian Football League Sparks Outcry

A recent incident in the Liga 4 DIY in Indonesia has drawn significant attention from both football professionals and the public. The match, held at Sitimulyo Stadium in Bantul on January 6, 2026, saw a clash where Kafi Jogja FC’s Dwi Aan executed a martial arts-like kick to the head of an opponent from UAD FC. However, surprisingly, the referee only issued a yellow card despite the seriousness of the incident. The DIY PSSI Provincial Association is conducting an investigation to determine the player’s intent and to address the referee team.
