Persipura Confident
Persipura ended last season empty handed but they go into this new campaign full of hope that they can return to Jayapura at the end with at least one trophy.
The side, coached by Malaysian Raja Isa, retain much of last season's squad while hoping that striker Boaz Solassa will be clear of injury after missing the last 12 months.
With their mixture of youth and experience, epitomised by Ian Luis Kabes and Eduard Ivakdalam, and potency in front of goal from Goncalves and Jeremiah the Black Pearls are sure to be one of the early favourites.
They start their season away at double winners Sriwijaya this Saturday.
Squad
Keepers : Jendry Pitoy, Ferdiansyah, Jacoob Haay.
Defence : Ricardo Salampessy, Jack Komboy, Paulo Rumere, Ian Louis Kabes, Heru Nerly, Ardilles Rumbiak, Bio Paulin Pierre.

Forwards : Boaz T Salosa, Stevi Bonsapia, Kornelis Kaimu, Tinus Pae, C Ernest Jeremiah, Alberto Beto Gonsalves.
