Not Returning to Sriwijaya FC, Defender Otto Kapisa from Biak Undergoes MCU Joining Sumsel United FC
Best for you, PALEMBANG – Stopper Otto Kapisa finally arrived in Palembang on Thursday (3/7/2025), but not to rejoin Sriwijaya FC.
Sriwijaya FC management failed to sign the strong defender Otto Kapisa, who was previously expected to strengthen the team for the 2025/26 Pegadaian Liga 2 season, but instead received an offer from Sumsel United FC.
Octovianus Kapisa, born in Biak (Papua) on December 15, 1996, has proven to be a key player in the defense of Sriwijaya FC. He was loaned from PSBS Biak and officially bid farewell to the Elang Andalas squad during last season's relegation play-off.
"Actually, I just arrived in Palembang from last night. From Biak directly to the Athletes' Village," said Otto Kapisa, the former star defender of Sriwijaya FC, to Best for you yesterday.
Otto Kapisa also explained that his contract with PSBS Biak expired on July 1, 2025, yesterday. When he was called by Sumsel United management, he immediately accepted it.
"Yesterday there was still no news from them (PSBS Biak), that's why I took the offer from Sumsel United. There is no information in Biak, there is still no information about gathering, no information about deals," said Otto Kapisa.
Otto Kapisa's outstanding performance in the defense helped Sriwijaya FC avoid relegation, which seems to have caught the attention of Sumsel United's management.
"Maybe it's the same way too (interested in Otto Kapisa's appearance last season)," he said.
Otto Kapisa himself has undergone the MCU and is likely to be signed by Sumsel United FC soon.
"MCU is already done. Maybe on Monday the contract signing. I am ready to help bring Sumsel United to Liga 1, Aamiin. If the family has no problem, they encourage me to come here," he concluded.
Several social media accounts have reported the rumor of the joining of Otto Kapisa, a former key goalkeeper of Sriwijaya FC, to Sumsel United FC, initiated by the Deputy Governor of South Sumatra, H Cik Ujang.
Otto once temporarily defended Sriwijaya FC on loan from PSBS Biak and performed impressively, helping goalkeeper Try Hamdani during the team's critical period at the end of last season.
After the loan period ended, this player from Papua expressed thanks and farewell greetings to the entire Sriwijaya FC family.
"Suporter Sriwijaya FC, you are amazing. Both inside and outside the field, I love and care for you very much. I will never forget you," said Otto Kapisa.
Otto also expressed his appreciation to the management and teammates who welcomed him well during his time representing the pride of South Sumatra.
"Thank you Sriwijaya FC, may God bless all of you," he added emotionally.
Although he is no longer part of the team, Otto continues to provide spirit and motivation for the young squad of Sriwijaya FC, which is currently being formed to face the upcoming Liga 2.
It emphasizes the importance of consistency, hard work, and creating chemistry among players, especially because this season's team will be filled with many young players.
"Chemistry is not easy to build, it requires cooperation and time. But if everyone tries their best and works hard, Sriwijaya FC will surely achieve the target to reach Liga 1," he said optimistically.
Otto also has high hopes for all the new players who joined, hoping they will not be easily satisfied and continue to show progress in training as well as matches.
"Whoever joins Sriwijaya FC must have a strong determination to bring this team back to glory in the top division, Liga 1," Otto emphasized.
Closing his statement, Otto emphasized that with discipline and high fighting spirit, Sriwijaya FC can shine again.
"Give your best, the result will certainly be satisfactory," he concluded.
Otto Kapisa once shared his exciting stories during his vacation in his hometown.
"My holiday activities are spent with my family, parents, children and wife in Urfu Sup Rarmpimbo village. My excitement is always bringing a team from my village, PS Barmani Nasber FC, for football training every week," said Otto Kapisa, who was one of the key players of Sriwijaya FC team during the relegation play-off stage of the Pegadaian Liga 2 2024/25.
Although he seems very happy about the holiday and being together with his family, Otto Kapisa is pleased and optimistic about the fast-moving (gercep) management of Sriwijaya FC in preparing the team for the 2025/26 competition season.
"Let's quickly gather and prepare. My hope for the Sriwijaya FC team for the 2025/2026 season, we must prepare ourselves as best as possible. We must be better than last season," said Otto Kapisa to Best for You, Wednesday (16/4/2025).
He is confident that the Sriwijaya FC team can achieve the target of taking the Elang Andalas team to the top division of Liga 1.
"We must work harder, be united, and focus on our goal, which is our target to take Sriwijaya FC to the top division of Liga 1. Sriwijaya FC is ours," he said.
As known, Otto Kapisa is one of the players who have been contacted by the Sriwijaya FC management and retained to compete in the Pegadaian Liga 2 2025/26 season.
"Right, if I have been called and asked to stay at Sriwijaya FC, it's just a negotiation and still waiting for Boss Randi," said Otto Kapisa when confirmed by Best for You on Friday (14/3/2025).
Otto Kapisa, who was brought in by the management and performed well, helped Sriwijaya FC as a proven defender in the 2024/25 relegation playoff.
"Hopefully with this new management, Sriwijaya FC will be better in the future," said Otto Kapisa.
While waiting for the call for the preparation of the Sriwijaya FC team for next season, Otto Kapisa admitted that he spent his vacation by continuing to train on his own in his hometown.
"Currently, even though the competition is on break, we still have to train on our own. If I train, it's at Opiaref Beach in Biak Timur, Papua in the morning. Jogging, physical training, sprints. Usually accompanied by my children and wife," said Otto Kapisa.
In the evening, Otto Kapisa admitted that he continued training at the SMN 2 Biak football field near his house.
Let's make use of the holiday time with the family. Later, when the league...
Randi Aksa has always stated that he will maintain Otto Kapisa in the center back position for the 2025/26 season.
Octovianus Otto Kapisa, who is a new key player from Biak, Papua, has also stated that he is ready to strengthen Sriwijaya FC next season.
Otto Kapisa is remembered as one of the heroes of Sriwijaya FC's victory when they defeated PSMS Medan 1-0 in a decisive match to avoid relegation, on Monday (10/2/2025) last week.
His position as the last line of defense successfully secured the ball from PSMS Medan's attack, while also helping Sriwijaya FC's goalkeeper Try Hamdani, who had already advanced in front of the goal.
"I feel very proud that I could save the team. It's a great experience for me that I saved Sriwijaya FC, it's amazing," said Otto Kapisa to Best for You.
Biak-born birth control, Papua, December 15, 1996, recounts his efforts to successfully prevent a dangerous attack by PSMS Medan on Sriwijaya FC's goal, which appeared careless.
"I saw the opponent was about to shoot, and the Sriwijaya FC goalkeeper had already moved forward. I didn't move forward, I closed the space below the goal. The ball was heading towards me. I immediately headed it out," said Otto Kapisa.
The husband of Mosaba Theresia Wakdomi, who has been blessed with a daughter named Ekklesia Kapisa, is moved that he could help save Sriwijaya FC.
"I also didn't feel like it, but I saw the goalkeeper had already come out. Ah, rather than me coming out as well, in the end the ball might go behind, so I closed the goal area below the crossbar," said the footballer who likes fried rice and grilled fish.
Otto Kapisa, who claims to have a hobby of singing and playing music, admits he remains interested in helping Sriwijaya FC despite facing bad rumors.
"Those issues didn't come here, the team was just not doing well, or struggling. But I really want to help Sriwijaya FC. So when I came here, I tried my best to help Sriwijaya FC," he said.
Otto Kapisa, who idolizes former Brazilian player Roberto Carlos, was once coached by Hendri Susilo at PSBS Biak. Alongside other new SFC midfielders, Melvis Uaga is proud to have helped save the team from relegation.
"Because indeed this team has many shortcomings in terms of salary and other issues, food problems, but I came here proudly because I could lead this team to avoid relegation. Yes, I and Melvis were both at PSBS before," he said.
