Bhayangkara FC

Bhayangkara FC, also known as Bhayangkara Lampung FC, is an Indonesian professional football club based in Bandar Lampung, Lampung, and linked to the Indonesian National Police. The club traces its roots to a 2010 internal conflict at Persebaya Surabaya, when a rebel faction acquired Persikubar West Kutai, and it was formed through a 2016 merger with PS Polri, after which the Indonesian National Police became its main operator on 10 September 2016 and renamed it Bhayangkara FC. Its name is a nickname for the Indonesian police, deriving from the guardians of the ancient kingdom of Majapahit, and the club's main colour is gold, associated with the golden badge of police officers. The club's first national trophy came with the 2017 Liga 1 championship, won on a head-to-head decision, and it finished mostly in the top five for three consecutive seasons afterward before being relegated in game week 32 of the 2023–24 season. After topping Group 2 and winning Group Y in the 2024–25 Liga 2, Bhayangkara returned to Liga 1 for the 2025–26 season, playing its home matches at Sumpah Pemuda Stadium, and its supporters are called El Bhara and Sikambara Lampung.
