Kecemasan pra-kompetitif merupakan salah satu faktor psikologis yang dapat memengaruhi kesiapan dan performa atlet sepak bola, terutama ketika menghadapi pertandingan penting. Atlet pada level kompetisi regional menuju nasional berpotensi mengalami tekanan karena tuntutan kemenangan, reputasi klub, ekspektasi pelatih, serta pembuktian diri dalam kompetisi yang lebih luas. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis tingkat kecemasan atlet sepak bola PS Daygun menjelang pertandingan Liga 4 Nasional berdasarkan tiga indikator, yaitu competitive anxiety, cognitive anxiety, dan somatic anxiety.

Pre-Competitive Anxiety among PS Daygun Football Players before a National League 4 Match
Abstract
Pre-competitive anxiety is a psychological factor that may influence football players’ readiness and performance, particularly before important matches. Players competing at the regional-to-national level may experience pressure related to winning demands, club reputation, coach expectations, and the need to prove themselves in a broader competitive context. This study aimed to analyze the anxiety level of PS Daygun football players before a National League 4 match based on three indicators: competitive anxiety, cognitive anxiety, and somatic anxiety. This study employed a descriptive quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of all PS Daygun players involved in preparation for the National League 4 match, with 23 players selected using total sampling. The research instrument was a four-point Likert-scale questionnaire consisting of 30 items. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, indicator scores, and anxiety categories. The results showed that 11 players (47.83%) were in the high anxiety category, while 3 players (13.04%) were in the very high category. Overall, 60.87% of the players experienced high to very high anxiety. Based on the indicators, somatic anxiety obtained the highest score, with 637 or 69.24%, followed by competitive anxiety with 555 or 60.33%, and cognitive anxiety with 549 or 59.67%. This study concludes that anxiety among PS Daygun players before the National League 4 match was more dominant in somatic symptoms than in competitive and cognitive aspects.
