2024 Liga 1 (Indonesia) finals

The 2024 Liga 1 finals was the finals of the 2023–24 Liga 1, the 27th season of the Indonesian top flight league since the merger of Perserikatan and Galatama in 1994, and the seventh season under the name of Liga 1. It was the first season since the 2014 Indonesia Super League to hold a final match following the usage of a championship series format.

Persib Bandung won the finals against Madura United by 6–1 on aggregate after a two-legged home-and-away matches.

The first leg of the finals took place in Persib's homebase, Si Jalak Harupat Stadium on 26 May 2024, ending with Persib's victory of 3–0. Meanwhile, the second leg was held on 31 May 2024 in Gelora Bangkalan Stadium, the homebase of Madura United, in which Madura suffered a 1–3 loss.^[1]

As the winners, Persib Bandung will earn the right to enter the 2024–25 AFC Champions League 2 from the group stage, while the runner-up, Madura United, will enter the group stage of the 2024–25 AFC Challenge League.

Since the Perserikatan and Galatama unified top flight league era, Persib Bandung had reached the final twice before, each in the inaugural 1994–95 season and the 2014 season, which was both won. In the 1995 final, Persib won 1–0 over Petrokimia Putra, while in 2014, Persib defeated Persipura Jayapura 5–3 in penalties after a 2–2 draw in 120 minutes.

Madura United had not reached a unified top flight league final before. Their last national final was the 1993–94 Galatama, back when the club was still named Pelita Jaya. In the match, they clinched a 1–0 victory over Gelora Dewata to secure the last Galatama championship title.

Their best performance in the current league era was in 2014 as Pelita Bandung Raya, where they ultimately lost 0–2 in the semi-final against Persipura Jayapura.

The finals were played over two-legged home-and-away matches, the first usage of this system in an Indonesian top flight division final, as previous finals were always contested as a single-match tie.

If the aggregate score was tied after two legs, extra time and, if necessary, a penalty shoot-out would be used to decide the winning team.^[4]

With this victory, Persib gained their third unified top flight league title, the second best club in terms of the title, only losing to Persipura with four titles. If their five titles in Perserikatan were also considered, they have won a total of eight Indonesian football champions titles. This record was also second best, only beaten by Persija Jakarta which already had a total of eleven titles.^[5]

As a Croatian, Bojan Hodak became the first foreign head coach in Persib's history to claim an Indonesian league champions title. Previously in the unified league era, Persib won their titles led by Sundanese locals, Indra Thohir in 1995 and Djadjang Nurdjaman in 2014.

In addition to the title, Persib also received two individual season awards. Bojan Hodak was awarded as the Best Coach, while striker David da Silva became the Top Goalscorer with a total of 30 goals.^[6]

For Madura United, this loss was their first in a national league final since the 1987–88 Galatama final, where they lost 1–3 to NIAC Mitra. Nevertheless, this season's result was the best for the team in the unified league era, eclipsing their semi-finalist finish in 2014.

Despite their defeat, Madura United received a consolation with the season's Best Player award given to their midfielder, Francisco Rivera.^[7]
