Persijap Jepara

Persijap Jepara was founded in 1954 and returned to the top flight in 2025-26 after a decade away. The club plays in red and white, and its nicknames are Laskar Kalinyamat, after the 16th-century Queen Kalinyamat of Jepara, and Elang Laut Jawa (Java Sea Eagle).

Home games are at Gelora Bumi Kartini Stadium in Tepus, on the edge of Jepara town. The ground was renovated into an all-seater in 2023-24 and holds around 8,500, so big matches can sell out.

Tips for visitors

• Gelora Bumi Kartini holds only about 8,570 (all-seater since the 2023-24 renovation), so big matches can sell out; buy as early as you can.
• Jepara is a long way from any major airport, so plan to stay overnight in Jepara or Kudus rather than day-tripping from Semarang.
• The ultras of Curva Nord Syndicate stand in the north end; the VIP stand is the calmer choice for first-time visitors.

Fixtures, venues and ticket rules change often. Check the club's official channels before you travel.
