The 2021 Menpora Cup (Indonesian : Piala Menpora 2021) was a pre-season tournament held by the PSSI ahead of the 2021 Liga 1. The tournament started on 21 March and finished with a two-legged final on 22 and 25 April 2021. ^[1] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all matches were played behind closed doors. ^[2] The 2021 edition was the second edition of Menpora Cup, with the first edition being held in 2013 which was won by Arema who defeated Australian side Central Coast Mariners by 2–1 in the final. ^{[3] [4]}

Persija won the finals 4–1 on aggregate against Persib for the title. ^[5]

Teams

PT Liga Indonesia Baru (LIB) decided that only 18 teams that participated in the 2020 Liga 1 could join this tournament. Previously, two Liga 2 teams, PSMS and Sriwijaya, were invited. However, their participation was canceled after PT LIB held a virtual meeting. ^[6] Persipura decided not to take part in the tournament which led to only 17 teams participating. ^[7]

Draw

The draw of the tournament was held on 8 March 2021. Eighteen teams were divided into four groups, the first two groups contain five teams, while the rest contain only four teams. ^[8] Four teams, Persija, Persib, Arema, and Persebaya, were distributed to separate groups to ensure they do not meet each other in order to mitigate security risks from travelling fans of these rivalling teams. ^[9] The draw resulted in the following groups: ^[10]

Group A Pos Team A1 Arema A2 PSIS A3 Barito Putera A4 Persikabo 1973 A5 Persipura

Group B Pos Team B1 Persija B2 Bhayangkara Solo B3 Borneo B4 PSM

Group C Pos Team C1 Persebaya C2 Persik C3 Persela C4 PSS C5 Madura United

Group D Pos Team D1 Persib D2 Persiraja D3 Persita D4 Bali United
