Stefano Lilipaly Joins Semen Padang to Lead Promotion Push in Liga 2

Semen Padang FC have officially announced the signing of Indonesian international Stefano Lilipaly as they continue building their squad for the 2026/27 Liga 2 season. The experienced midfielder arrives as one of the club's marquee additions ahead of their campaign to secure promotion back to the country's top division.

The club sees Lilipaly as a key figure who can raise the overall quality and competitiveness of the team. His arrival reflects Semen Padang's ambition to assemble a strong squad capable of challenging for a return to Liga 1 after competing in the second tier.

Lilipaly brings a wealth of experience from both domestic and international football. Throughout his career, he has represented the Indonesian national team and featured for several Liga 1 clubs, with Dewa United being his most recent team before making the move to Semen Padang.

His leadership, technical ability, and experience at the highest level are expected to provide valuable guidance to the squad during a demanding season. The club hopes his presence will have a positive impact both on and off the pitch as younger players continue to develop.

With Lilipaly now on board, Semen Padang are continuing to finalize their roster before heading to their pre-season training camp in Yogyakarta. The team will also take part in a series of friendly matches as they prepare for the challenges of the 2026/27 Liga 2 campaign.
