Persipura Jayapura has officially signed Brazilian defender Artur Vieira to bolster their backline for the upcoming Championship season, formerly known as Liga 2. The 35-year-old veteran was unveiled on July 9, 2025, as one of the club’s foreign player signings for the new campaign.
Artur brings extensive experience from various leagues, having played for clubs in Brazil, Thailand, Singapore, and Indonesia. He previously played in Indonesia with Barito Putera in 2019 and Deltras in Liga 2 last season, showing familiarity with the local football scene.
