Rifad revealed that the reason for joining Arema FC was because of the atmosphere in the city of Malang and also the enthusiasm of the team’s supporters.
“I like Malang, there are many brothers and sisters here. Malang City is good for peace too. The atmosphere of the fans is enthusiastic, I hope it will be good here,” said the 23-year-old player from Maluku.
“Alhamdulillah quite happy. Arema is a big club in Indonesian football, a lot of history too. So it is an honor to be able to join Arema,” he added.
Rifad Marasabessy will most likely be plotted to fill in the wing-back sector that was recently left by Andik Rendika Rama and Rizky Dwi Febrianto.
He was determined to fulfill the trust placed by the Arema FC coaching and management team by bringing the team to its best achievements.
