Controversy
In the match against Persewangi Banyuwangi on 11 February 2025 in the continuation of 2024–25 Liga 4 East Java zone at Diponegoro Stadium in Banyuwangi, Persewangi Banyuwangi coach, Yulius Alexander Saununu suspects that referee Farid Riesdianto cheated and committed fraud which harmed his club.
