Persija Jakarta player Shayne Pattynama said he was pleased that his Indonesian national team teammate, Mauro Ziljstra, had joined the Kemayoran Tigers in the second round of the 2025/2026 BRI Super League.
Shayne was first announced by Persija as their new player, after he was announced on January 23. About a week later, the Garuda team player's presence at Persija increased when they announced the arrival of Mauro on February 4. Both players signed contracts for the next two and a half seasons.
"I've spoken to him and he's happy to be here, and I'm also excited for him to be here," Pattynama said as he watched Indonesia's 5-3 victory over Japan in the 2026 Futsal Asia Cup semifinals at the Indonesia Arena
Mauro's arrival gives Mauricio Souza's team four players capable of playing center forward. Prior to Mauro, Persija already had Gustavo Almeida, Eksel Runtukahu, and Alaeddine Ajaraie -- players who also arrived in the second half, like Shayne and Mauro.
