Most foreign players competing in Indonesian football leagues come from Brazil. Of the 399 foreign players in Indonesia since the 2008-2009 season, Brazil contributed 61 players. This is followed by South Korea and Cameroon, each with 48 players. To win the league and attract supporters, team owners bring in players from abroad.
The influx of foreign footballers into Indonesia is indeed increasing. The countries of origin are also diverse. Imported players in domestic competitions even come from countries not known for their football prowess, such as Nepal, Turkmenistan, and Saint Kitts and Nevis.
