2025–26 Liga 4 Southwest Papua (also known as the 2025–26 Southwest Papua Governor's Cup for sponsorship reasons) is the second season of the fourth-tier football competition in Indonesia organized by the Provincial Association (Asprov) of PSSI Southwest Papua. The competition serves as the regional qualifying round for the national phase of the 2025–26 Liga 4.[1]

Background

In early 2026, Asprov PSSI Southwest Papua finalized preparations for the provincial league under the branding of the Governor's Cup. Acting general secretary, Dave Thio, stated that the competition is a crucial step for local football development across the Greater Sorong and Raja Ampat regions.[2]

To ensure the success of the tournament, the organizing committee, led by Amatus Turot, held a strategic coordination meeting with the Acting Governor of Southwest Papua, Mohammad Musa’ad, at the Governor's office in March 2026.[3] Turot emphasized that all sectors, from security to match officials, were undergoing final evaluations to meet PSSI standards ahead of the kick-off.[4]

The registration period for official member clubs was scheduled from 2 to 14 March 2026.[5]

Format and schedule

The competition is scheduled to officially kick-off on 22 March 2026 at the Bawela Stadium in Sorong. The league is designed to accommodate clubs from across the province, ensuring competitive representation from regencies such as Sorong City, Sorong Regency, Maybrat Regency, South Sorong Regency, and Tambrauw Regency.[4]

The Chairman of the Organizing Committee for the Liga 4 Southwest Papua Governor's Cup, Amatus Turot, officially inaugurated the nine teams set to compete in the 2025–26 season. According to the announcement by the committee, these clubs are scheduled to begin their matches on 22 March 2026.
