Joey Pelupessy’s Market Value Rises by IDR 2.6 Billion After Indonesia’s ASEAN Cup Triumph

Joey Pelupessy has seen his market value increase following Indonesia’s historic triumph at the FIFA ASEAN Cup 2026. According to Transfermarkt data dated October 8, 2026, the Lommel SK midfielder’s valuation rose by IDR 2.6 billion to IDR 6.95 billion. The increase comes after a series of solid performances that helped Indonesia secure the championship.

At 33, Pelupessy proved to be a reliable presence in Indonesia’s midfield throughout the tournament. He featured in all four matches, playing the full 90 minutes in three group-stage games. His contributions helped the Garuda squad record a 2-0 victory over Singapore, a goalless draw against Malaysia, and an impressive 9-2 win over Bangladesh. His experience and consistency made him an important part of the team’s successful campaign.

Pelupessy also played a significant role in the final against Thailand, remaining on the pitch for 120 minutes as both teams finished level at 2-2 after extra time. Indonesia eventually secured a 4-2 victory in the penalty shootout at Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium in Jakarta on October 5, 2026. The result marked a memorable achievement for the national team and added another milestone to Pelupessy’s international career.

Following the tournament, Pelupessy returned to Belgium to rejoin Lommel SK for the 2026/2027 season. However, he was absent from the squad for the club’s 3-1 victory over SK Beveren on October 9, 2026. Don-Angelo Konadu scored twice, while Lucas Schoofs added another goal to seal the win. Chris Lokesa scored Beveren’s only goal. The reason for Pelupessy’s absence remains unclear, and there is no confirmed information linking it to fitness concerns after his international commitments.

Before that match, Pelupessy had established himself as one of coach Lee Johnson’s regular options, recording seven league appearances and 630 minutes on the pitch. His rising market value represents a positive development following Indonesia’s championship-winning campaign. Nevertheless, the increase should not be attributed solely to his performances in the tournament, as player valuations can also depend on club form, age, playing time, and other market considerations. Pelupessy’s latest valuation highlights his continued relevance as he balances his responsibilities at club and international level.
