​Madura United Brings Back Hugo Gomes to Reinforce Midfield for 2026/27 Campaign

Madura United have officially welcomed Brazilian midfielder Hugo Gomes back to the club ahead of the 2026/27 season. The return of the player, widely known as Jaja, marks one of the club’s key moves in the transfer window as it looks to strengthen the squad for the upcoming campaign.
Club director Annisa Zhafarina described the signing as an important step in maintaining the quality and balance of Madura United’s midfield. Beyond his technical ability, Jaja is regarded as a player who has built a strong connection with the club and its supporters during his previous spell.
Hugo Gomes was a central figure for Madura United before joining Dewa United in July 2024. After spending two seasons with his new club, the Brazilian has decided to return to the team where he first established himself in Indonesian football.
The club emphasized that the reunion is driven by sporting ambitions rather than sentiment alone. Management believes Jaja’s experience, leadership, and winning mentality will help maintain the high standards expected from the squad as they pursue greater success in the new season.
Supporters are expected to welcome the midfielder back with enthusiasm, while the coaching staff hope he can quickly settle into the team and take command of the midfield once again. His return is seen as a significant boost for Madura United as the club aims to compete for major honors in the 2026/27 season.
