PSIM Jogja Strengthens Squad with Dutch Winger Anton Fase Ahead of Super League Season
PSIM Jogja has bolstered its roster by signing Dutch winger Anton Fase just before the second week of the 2025-26 Super League season. Standing at 185 cm, Fase joins the team from Singapore’s Balestier Khalsa. His early football development took place at AZ Alkmaar’s academy, and he made his professional debut in the Dutch second division at just 17 years old. He later played for NEC Nijmegen in the Eredivisie, where he was teammates with Ole Romeny, who currently represents Indonesia’s national team.
The club’s management, led by Manager Razzi Taruna, brought Fase in following thorough evaluations of the team’s needs, focusing on strengthening critical positions such as the left wing and defensive midfield. The decision was strongly influenced by the coach’s recommendation, highlighting the strategic intent behind the signing. While the player might face some physical challenges adapting after joining training recently, the club remains optimistic about his quick adjustment and contribution.
Anton Fase cited the passionate fanbase of PSIM Jogja as a major factor in his decision to join the club. The Dutch winger also feels a strong connection to the team thanks to the presence of head coach Jean-Paul Van Gastel, who shares his nationality and playing philosophy. This familiarity is expected to ease Fase’s integration into the squad and help him deliver his best performances.
Looking ahead, Anton has high ambitions to be a key player for PSIM Jogja by scoring goals, providing assists, and energizing the team on the pitch. His arrival comes as PSIM prepares to face Arema FC at Sultan Agung Stadium in Bantul during the upcoming matchweek, with hopes that his impact will help elevate the team’s competitive edge in the league.
