Bali United Signs Defensive Powerhouse Joao Ferrari for 2025-26 Season
Bali United has announced the signing of Joao Ferrari, a strong Brazilian defender who impressed last season with PSIS Semarang. Ferrari is a familiar figure in Liga 1, having played 34 matches last season with notable defensive stats including high numbers of clearances, tackles, and blocks, making him one of the league’s most reliable defenders.

Ferrari’s consistency and leadership qualities have made him a key target for Bali United as they aim to strengthen their defense and challenge for the title after several seasons without a championship. The club’s CEO highlighted Ferrari’s discipline and defensive prowess as vital assets for their squad.

The defender brings experience and resilience, surpassing some previous Bali United defenders in key defensive metrics. His arrival signals the club’s serious ambitions to return to the top of Indonesian football.

Joao Ferrari is set to join training soon after completing medical tests, with hopes that he will quickly integrate into the team and help Bali United build a strong defensive foundation for the upcoming Liga 1 season.
