PERSIJA As Indonesia's First Football Club to Digitalize Document Signing with VIDA
Case Study
By implementing VIDA Sign and e-Meterai integration, PERSIJA streamlined its document signing process, from player contracts to sponsor agreements, cutting signing time to just 5 minutes per document.
Trusted by
PERSIJA Jakarta is one of Indonesia's most iconic professional football clubs, with a legacy that extends far beyond the pitch. As a major sports organization, PERSIJA manages a wide range of business and operational activities, from player contracts and sponsorship deals to vendor agreements and internal governance.
In a fast-moving sports environment, the need for secure, efficient, and trusted documentation is critical. Every transfer window, every partnership deal, and every internal approval depends on timely document execution. PERSIJA recognized that modernizing these workflows was essential to strengthening the club's professionalism and operational readiness.
The Partnership
In September 2025, PERSIJA entered a strategic one-year partnership with VIDA to support the club's operational digital transformation through the VIDA Sign Platform, including legally binding digital signatures and e-Meterai integration.
PERSIJA chose VIDA for two key reasons:
The ability to significantly shorten document signing time, and access to integrated e-Meterai services.
With this collaboration, PERSIJA became the first football club in Indonesia to implement certified electronic signatures within its administrative system.
The partnership positions VIDA as PERSIJA's trusted digital signature partner, reinforcing operational efficiency and credibility in modern sports management.
The Challenge
Before adopting VIDA Sign, PERSIJA's document signing process relied on manual signatures and basic digital sign settings embedded in PDF files. This created several operational challenges:
Time-consuming processes — Signing documents took significantly longer than necessary, slowing down critical business operations across the club.
Distance and coordination barriers — With signatories often in different locations, getting documents finalized was frequently delayed by logistics rather than decisions.
Complexity with foreign nationals — Processing documents involving international players and partners required additional verification steps that added friction to the workflow.
For a professional sports organization managing player contracts, sponsor agreements, vendor deals, and internal documents on an ongoing basis, these bottlenecks directly impacted the club's ability to operate efficiently.
The Solution
PERSIJA partnered with VIDA to implement a digital signing ecosystem that addressed each of these challenges directly:
VIDA Sign Platform
A centralized, legally certified platform replacing manual and PDF, based signing for all document types, from player contracts to internal approvals.
e-Meterai Integration
Digital stamp duty applied directly within the signing flow, meeting legal and tax compliance without extra manual steps.
Identity Verification for All Signatories
Supports both local and foreign nationals, simplifying what was previously a key bottleneck in PERSIJA's international dealings.
Certified Electronic Signatures
Backed by official electronic certificates, ensuring full legal validity and tamper-proof protection on every document.
