PSIM Yogyakarta was crowned champion after defeating Bhayangkara FC with a score of 2-1 in extra time during the final held at Manahan Stadium, Solo. In addition to PSIM, Bhayangkara FC and Persijap Jepara also successfully promoted to Liga 1 next season.

The success of PSIM Yogyakarta, Bhayangkara FC, and Persijap Jepara in securing promotion tickets to Liga 1 next season highlights the importance of strategic planning and careful preparation in achieving big goals. The same principle applies in terms of finance.

Now, one of the goals of investing is to achieve financial freedom, which is a condition where you no longer need to work because you have enough assets to meet your living needs for now or in the future.

Of course, this can be achieved if your investments are managed well. One interesting investment for the future is to own gold. To acquire gold, you can make installments at Pegadaian. Although gold prices may rise in the future, the installment value remains fixed until fully paid off.

Gold available for installment also comes in various brands with weight options starting from 0.5 grams. With Cicil Emas, you can obtain gold for gifts with a fixed installment value even if there are changes in market prices, as well as get a buyback guarantee.

PSIM Yogyakarta returns to the highest tier after spending a long time in the lower tier. Persijap Jepara is in a similar situation, while Bhayangkara FC is just 'taking a break' after ensuring their promotion again.

1. Social and Economic Aspects

Pegadaian Liga 2 2024/2025 is not only successful as a football competition but also positively impacts the social and economic aspects of the surrounding community.

This Liga 2 also serves as a lucrative opportunity for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (UMKM) around the stadium, especially at Manahan Stadium, Solo. PT Pegadaian, as the main sponsor, plays an important role in supporting social and economic programs off the field.

This season, there are four programs realized through the Pegadaian Peduli program at Pegadaian Liga 2 2024/2025. These programs include tree planting, coaching clinics, stadium cleaning movements, and UMKM socialization.

The last two activities mentioned above are always present at every match played by participating clubs this season. For Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (UMKM), they indeed have a special space in the hosting stadium area.

Supporters take turns flocking to Ayu's merchandise, one of the sellers of mineral water in front of gate 11 Manahan.

"I didn't know it would be this crowded. The buyers don't stop, and we only have two people to manage, so we are a bit overwhelmed," said Ayu during a conversation with Bola.com.

"Today's income or revenue is around Rp4 million from 1 PM to around 4 PM, and that amount doesn't include the evening revenue," revealed Ayu.

"Alhamdulillah, today's merchandise is selling well. Even with heavy rain, iced tea is still popular among PSIM supporters, of course, I am grateful. I hope next season Pegadaian continues to pay special attention to UMKM at the stadium," added a street vendor named Bagas.

2. Aligned

The President Director of PT Pegadaian and PT Liga Indonesia Baru (LIB) expressed appreciation for the success of this Liga 2 event. They consider this competition to be one of the most exciting in recent years.

This is in line with Pegadaian's vision: as one of the drivers of financial inclusion in Indonesia.

"Pegadaian is very closely connected with the lower-middle class, so it fits that there is Liga 2 and Pegadaian is involved," said Damar Latri Setiawan, President Director of PT Pegadaian, during a press conference at the Pegadaian Tower Ballroom, Jakarta (3-9-2024).

"Pegadaian is also close to MSMEs, so every time there is a match, MSMEs are impacted because they sell there. This makes the economy even better," said Damar Latri Setiawan.

3. Challenges Ahead

After successfully holding the Pegadaian Liga 2 for the 2024/2025 season, the organizers will face several challenges in organizing the next season.

Pegadaian Liga 2 has used VAR in the play-off and final rounds this season, but it has not yet been fully utilized throughout the season. The next challenge is to implement VAR comprehensively across all matches, which requires adequate infrastructure in the stadiums.

Furthermore, Pegadaian hopes to improve the quality of matches while maintaining sportsmanship. Enhancing match quality requires improvements in technical aspects, such as referee training and upgrades to field infrastructure.

Pegadaian Liga 2 has become a lucrative opportunity for MSMEs around the stadium, especially at Manahan Stadium in Solo. The next challenge is to sustain and enhance this economic and social impact, ensuring that the competition is not only successful in sports but also positively impacts the community.

This season, nine teams were relegated to Liga 3, and three teams were promoted to Liga 1. The next challenge is to manage this transition well, ensuring that the promoted teams are ready to compete in Liga 1 and that the relegated teams can recover in Liga 3.

With a total of 291 matches held this season, which is more than the previous season, Pegadaian Liga 2 shows significant progress. The upcoming challenge is to ensure that the number of matches remains competitive and to maintain better quality than before.
