Eko Setyawan, The Figure Behind Adhyaksa FC's Promotion to Liga 1

Adhyaksa FC surprisingly defeated Persipura Jayapura on May 8th at the Lukas Enembe Stadium in Jayapura, with a score of 1-0 in the promotion playoff match. This victory has taken the club to Liga 1 for the first time. Adhyaksa FC is a development from Farmel FC, which has its roots in a non-commercial youth soccer academy (SSB) founded by Eko Setyawan in Karawaci, Tangerang, to support his son's hobby. The name Farmel comes from a combination of his children's names, Fardan and Amel. That SSB later transformed into an official club and collaborated with the Indonesian Attorney General's Office through Persaja, becoming Adhyaksa Farmel FC. The club won the Liga 3 Nasional championship in the 2023/2024 season. Eko Setyawan's name is also known in PSSI dynamics as an Exco member and a figure who manages several clubs, including Persibo Bojonegoro. He expressed an emotional closeness to regional clubs, but emphasized that Adhyaksa FC is the only one he truly owns. This club's success places Eko as a figure who continues to be in the spotlight in Indonesian football's development. https://kabarbaik.co/sosok-arsitek-ajaib-asal-bojonegoro-di-balik-promosi-adhyaksa-fc-ke-liga-1/
