Persikotas Nusantara Targets Liga 2 Promotion in Debut 2026/2027 Season

Persikotas Nusantara has officially begun the preparation phase for the 2026/2027 Liga 3 Nusantara season with the goal of promotion to Liga 2 in the very first season. In a direct meeting with the Tasik City Society on September 6, 2026, club chairman Ecep Suwardaniyasa clearly stated that this is a realistic but ambitious goal that requires strong cohesion between experienced players and young talents. The club is in the process of transitioning from Nusantara Lampung FC, with a plan to build a 30-player squad consisting of 10 players over 23 years old, 15 U-23 players, and 5 U-20 players. This multi-generational mix indicates an approach focused on developing young talent rather than immediately fielding a full senior XI. The two-month intensive physical and tactical training phase is seen as the critical window to gel the squad before the official league campaign. Through collaboration with Dejan FC, Persikotas Nusantara will strengthen team structure and playing schemes. Friendly matches will be held in Tasikmalaya, Ciamis, and Banjar to test the attacking and defensive schemes being built. Regarding venues, the club is working closely with the Tasikmalaya City Government to repair and professionally manage Stadion Wira Dadaha. If competition regulations require a home-and-away format, alternatives like Banjar or Ciamis will be considered. Risk analysis shows this will be a challenging season with venue issues and squad depth problems. However, with owner investment, the club is trying to create differentiation. Persikotas Nusantara is a long-standing club in Tasikmalaya that previously existed as Persikotas FC in Liga 4. The existence of two clubs with the same name in the same city could create internal competition and local derbies, but also bring opportunities for regional football development. The acquisition of Nusantara Lampung FC and rebranding to Persikotas Nusantara is a strategic step to rebuild reputation and attract community interest. Ecep Suwardaniyasa emphasized that promotion is the path to strengthen the club's position in the Indonesian league system. With a large squad size, Persikotas Nusantara is focusing on youth training to create long-term resources. Friendly matches will provide valuable data to refine tactics before the league starts. The city government is supporting repairs to the stadium, showing local commitment to football development. Persikotas Nusantara is currently competing directly with better-funded opponents, but the mix of experience and young talent could bring surprises. The two-month training will focus on fitness and coordination to overcome opponents. Collaboration with Dejan FC will bring professionalization. The multi-generational squad is being built for sustainability. Tasikmalaya is witnessing the revival of football through Persikotas Nusantara. These factors show professionalism in planning. The realistic but ambitious goal creates motivation for players.
