Persib Bandung are one of arguably four Indonesian football clubs, (Persija Jakarta, Arema
Malang and Persebaya Surabaya are the others) with the potential to become a brand that extends
beyong the country's own borders.
They are already a massive club at home and indeed West Java is blue to such an extent that few
other teams thrive in the province.
(This is part one of the three-parter series that featured a story of Singaporean footballer who
overcome the odds in bid improve his game in a foreign land.)
A lot of people would think that to be able to play professional football overseas, one would have
to be a national player in order to "qualify for that feat".
