One of the local jersey entrepreneurs in Solo, Nofi Setiawan of NS Jersey, shared his story about starting his sports apparel business.
He explained that his jersey business began when he was still in high school.
“The background of this business was my marketing major in school. We had a practical exam, and I decided to start this business for that purpose. It also matched my hobby, so after graduating from university, I continued selling bit by bit until now,” Nofi Setiawan told TribunWow.com on Wednesday (10 June 2026).
“Thank God, the business has grown quite well. We sell two types of adult jerseys: the regular stadium version and the player issue. We also have shorts and kids’ jerseys. That’s how I started this venture,” he added.
Nofi began to focus more seriously on his business after the COVID-19 pandemic hit Indonesia.
“Actually, it started around 2020 just as a hobby. I enjoyed making some money from it, but I wasn’t serious yet. After the pandemic struck, I began to focus more seriously, and since then, the business has grown steadily,” he said.
Regarding the 2026 World Cup and the enthusiasm of customers buying jerseys, Nofi mentioned that the demand usually spikes after the group stage ends.
“It usually picks up after the group stage,” he explained.
According to Nofi, the most popular and best-selling jerseys are from European countries, particularly Germany and France.
Alongside those, jerseys from South American football powerhouses Brazil and Argentina are also highly sought after.
“The best sellers are definitely Germany and France. Portugal is also in demand mainly because of Ronaldo. Other than that, Argentina and Brazil dominate. England and the Netherlands are not as hyped,” Nofi said.
Interestingly, Netherlands jerseys are mostly shipped to eastern Indonesia.
“We often send Netherlands jerseys to eastern Indonesia because many people there have Dutch ancestry,” he revealed.
Nofi further explained that his customers usually buy jerseys for three main reasons.
“From my experience, customers fall into three categories. First, they like the design. Second, they buy based on their favourite players—like Ronaldo, Mbappe, or Messi—and thus follow their national teams. Third, it depends on their budget,” he said.
Nofi shared that one of the most memorable moments in his business is when older jersey designs start selling again because the team performs well in the World Cup.
“The most memorable part is when I still have old stock and that team progresses far in the tournament. For example, I still had Argentina jerseys from 2022, and when they reached the semifinals, demand suddenly skyrocketed. Thank God, sales and prices both went up,” he remarked.
