The key to the national football key is now serving in the intelligence staff of Kodam V/Brawijaya – Viralterkini

Viralterkini.id, Surabaya – Major Arh Dr. Djoko Purwoko, SE, SH, MH, M.Han., The name of the familiar national football stage, has now begun a new service round after officially completing the regular education of the 2025 LXV Seskoad and is placed as a Pabandya Intelligence Administration (Minintel) at the intelligence staff of Kodam V/Brawijaya.

His track record in the world of football is very strong. He is a former Chairman of the 1973 D/H PS TNI Persikabo Implementation Committee (Panpel) and has been trusted as a special staff of the 2019-2023 PSSI Chairperson in the strategic field and is rarely highlighted, namely sports intelligence-a division that focuses on stability, match security, and detection of potential conflicts and match-fixing in the national football world.

Now serving in the heart of the East Java territorial intelligence system, Major Djoko brought strategic instincts that have been honed in the field of military assignments and in the Indonesian soccer elite meeting rooms. However, the placement of his official domicile in Surabaya-a city with strong football culture-geographical closeness and personal relations that have been built for years with various managers and club owners revive speculation: Will he join the management of big League 1 clubs such as Persebaya Surabaya or Madura United? Or will it actually give a new color to League 2 clubs such as Deltras Sidoarjo and Persela Lamongan?

“I am a soldier. But football has become part of my way of life. If one day needed to foster, curb, and strengthen the club’s management, I am ready to support for the good of national football,” said Major Djoko briefly.

Its presence in Surabaya is referred to as a “trump card” for football in East Java. The combination of intelligence insights and in -depth organizational experience makes Major Djoko an important asset, both in the national defense and professional sports.

Some regional PSSI figures even welcomed this positive signal, hoping that there would be a real contribution from the Major in rearrangement of the competition system, management strengthening, and revitalization of club relations with security forces in order to create a healthy and dignified climate of matches. Even the internal supporters of several clubs began to discuss the opportunity for the return of Major Djoko to the club’s management path, while still carrying out military tasks.

This step confirms that devotion to the nation does not recognize the sector limits. The figure of Major Djoko is a real example of how an officer can play an important role in various lines, from the stadium to the control room of national defense information.

As a Pabandya Minintel, he is now in control of the intelligence information administration system at Kodam V/Brawijaya, a position that requires accuracy, loyalty, and high leadership instincts. But in silence, the world of football does not seem to be far from the figure who has escorted various national matches.

If it is true to join one of the East Java clubs, then it is certain that the presence of Major Djoko will not only strengthen management, but also inject discipline, integrity, and military leadership into the body of regional football. (ma)
