Persiraja Banda Aceh, which is headquartered at the Harapan Bangsa stadium, has its address at Jalan Sultan Malikul Saleh No. 97 Lhong Raya Village. Banda Aceh District has a complicated journey in the national level football arena, starting with financial problems, differences of opinion between fellow administrators, and the most unforgettable thing in the minds of the Acehnese people when the conflict occurred in Aceh, at that time the name Persiraja Banda Aceh had sunk.
The pride of the Acehnese football club managed to rise again by being able to lift the dignity of Aceh's football by winning 2nd place in the 2010-2011 Indonesian League Main Division after a 0-1 defeat to Persiba Bantul.
Today Persiraja Banda has a new spirit after there is certainty to be able to take part in league 2. This certainty was obtained after Persiraja was acquired by Zulfikar Shahabuddin.
Zulfikar acquired 80 percent of Persiraja shares from H. Nazaruddin on Monday 22 August 2022.
For your information, in 2017, 80 percent of Persiraja's shares were owned by Nazaruddin, while 20 percent belonged to Podiraja Banda Aceh, namely the Banda Aceh government-assisted club.
We feel very happy even though Persiraja have to play in Liga 2 because of relegation from Liga one last season.
Persiraja will play their first match of the season against PSMS Medan at the Harapan Bangsa stadium on Monday 5 September 2022 at 16.00 WIB.
In this case too, as the President of Persiraja, Zulfikar has shown Washiyatul Akmal as a coach who is a man born in Jakarta October 12, 1979.
Mr. Zulfikar also said . We will select players for two days, the first day at the Lamreung Karya Utama Field, the second day at the H. Murtala stadium, Lampineung.
We have formed a selection team, chaired by Anwar. We will prepare talented players. In the selection process we will call for legendary players, Acehnese players who have appeared in the PON event.
Meanwhile, Nazaruddin admitted that he released Persiraja's shares to Zulfikar for free after signing the share transfer document at the Notary's office.
