The 2024/2025 Liga 1 transfer market is heating up with rapid moves from various clubs to strengthen their squads. Semen Padang FC is not lagging in seizing this moment. The team, nicknamed Kabau Sirah, made a significant splash by officially announcing three new signings on Tuesday (18/6). All three players have defensive characteristics, comprising two goalkeepers and one defender, ready to bolster Semen Padang’s defense line for the upcoming season.
The first notable step is the acquisition of two new goalkeepers, Teguh Amiruddin and Miswar Saputra. Teguh Amiruddin, a former Arema FC goalkeeper, was brought in to sharpen the competition between the posts. The 30-year-old goalkeeper had been with Singo Edan since 2020 but only made seven appearances in the 2023/2024 Liga 1 season. During this period, Teguh recorded one clean sheet and conceded 11 goals before being released by Arema FC. Teguh’s arrival is expected to bring stability and experience to the goalkeeper position.

On the other hand, Miswar Saputra, formerly of Persebaya Surabaya and Persik Kediri, joined Semen Padang after a disappointing season with Persik Kediri. The 28-year-old goalkeeper only appeared once throughout last season. Previously, Miswar was a regular under the posts for Madura United, but the lack of playing time at Persik Kediri necessitated more minutes on the field. Joining Semen Padang, Miswar hopes to rebuild his career and contribute maximally to the Kabau Sirah team.
Not only strengthening the goalkeeper sector, but Semen Padang also acquired Frendi Saputra to fill the left fullback position. The Bandar Lampung-born player was previously a mainstay at Barito Putera. Frendi’s name rose to prominence while strengthening PSIS Semarang and had a stint with Dewa United FC. Frendi’s presence is expected to enhance strength and depth in the defense sector, providing more options for the coach in strategizing.

The moves taken by Semen Padang in this transfer market showcase their grand ambition to achieve success in the 2024/2025 Liga 1 season. By blending experienced players and new talents, Semen Padang hopes to form a solid and competitive team. The club management and coaching staff continue to work hard to devise the best strategies and ensure all players are in optimal condition ahead of the new season.
Loyal Semen Padang supporters undoubtedly welcome these steps. They hope their beloved team can perform brilliantly and achieve success in the upcoming season. Full support from the fans will be an additional motivation for the players to give their best in every match.
With thorough preparation and the right strategy, Semen Padang FC is ready to face the 2024/2025 Liga 1 season with full confidence. These transfer market moves are a testament to their ambition and determination not just to participate but to compete at the highest level of Indonesian football. All team elements, from management, coaches, players, to supporters, are united to bring Semen Padang FC to glorious success in the upcoming season.
