History

Foundation and early years (1928–1951)

Persija was established on November 28, 1928, with the forerunner to be appointed Voetbalbond Indonesish Jakarta (VIJ). VIJ is one of the clubs participating in PSSI with the participation of VIJ representatives, Mr. Soekardi in the formation of PSSI in Societeit Hadiprojo Yogyakarta, Saturday 19 April 1930.

During the Dutch East Indies era, Persija's initial name was VIJ (Voetbalbond Indonesische Jacatra). Post-Republic of Indonesia returned to the form of a unitary state, VIJ changed its name to Persija (Indonesian Football Association of Jakarta). At that time, NIVU (Nederlandsch Indisch Voetbal Unie) as a rival organization for PSSI still existed. On the other hand, VBO (Voetbalbond Batavia en Omstreken) as a rival (union) match for Persija also still exists.[7]

Perserikatan era (1951–1994)

In mid-1951, the VBO held a meeting to liquidate and ask for approval to join Persija. In its development, VBO joined Persija. In the triangle tournament, a combination of Indonesian Nation players joined in the "new" Persija associated with the Netherlands and the Chinese.

Stadium
Gelora Bung Karno Stadium

Persija currently plays their home matches at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium along with Indonesia National Football Team.

In their history, the club used several stadium for their home ground. There are VIJ Stadium, Menteng Stadium, and Lebak Bulus Stadium. For the 2017 Liga 1, Persija along with Bhayangkara F.C[8]) used the Patriot Chandrabhaga Stadium[9] as their home stadium because the GBK stadium was being renovated for the 2018 Asian Games.

For the 2018 Liga 1, Persija had no fixed home pitch due to Gelora Bung Karno Stadium being used for the 2018 Asian Games, 2018 Asian Para Games, and the 2018 AFC U-19 Championship, and switched between playing their home matches at GBK, Patriot Chandrabhaga Stadium, Pakansari Stadium,[10] Wibawa Mukti Stadium,[11] Sultan Agung Stadium and PTIK Stadium.[12]

Current Jakarta governor Anies Baswedan have decide to build a new stadium for Persija in North of Jakarta, which will be called Jakarta International Stadium, and now it is being built. The new stadium is targeted to be completed by October 2021.[13][14] From other source, the new stadium will be named as M.H. Thamrin Stadium to appreciate the Indonesia national hero Mohammad Husni Thamrin, which also one of the founder of Persija Jakarta.[15]

Kit Colours

Persija Jakarta's traditional football club colour is red as their home kit. In 1997 Persija replaced it with orange colour due to the decision of Jakarta governor at that time, Sutiyoso, as he wants to make Persija's colour similar to Jakarta's government colour. Because of it, when Persija's supporter (The Jakmania) founded in the same year, they decide to wear orange colour as the identity of Jakarta's football supporter colour. After 19 years, in 2016 they decide to return to their traditional red colour. As they believe that wearing their old colour will bring back the spirit of their glory in old era. Frequently, the colour of their away jersey is white. But in some era, black is also picked as the colour of their away jersey while orange colour was chosen as their third jersey in current era.[16]

Supporters and rivalries

Supporters

Persija Jakarta's supporters called The Jakmania. Founded in 1997 by Gugun Gondrong and Ferry Indrasjarief with orange colour as their identity.[19] The Jakmania is one of the biggest football club supporters in Indonesia. Mostly in every Persija's home match over 50.000 spectators come to support Persija. They were allowed to come to every place of the away match, except for the matches against Persib Bandung and Persebaya Surabaya because of restrictions by the Indonesia national security otoritation in order to avoid the clash between each supporters.

Not only rival clubs that have anthems. The song "Satu Jiwa" is an anthem that is always sung when the match is over, this song was also created directly by the Chairman of Jakmania.[20]

Rivalries
Main article: Old Indonesia derby

Persija have a rivalry with Persib Bandung. Both teams first met in the 1933 Perserikatan and competed to be champions, and at that time Persija won the competition while the Persib were runners-up. Likewise the following year in the 1934 Perserikatan, again they competed and Persija won again by beating Persib who to be runner-up again in the competition at that time.[21] This derby is usually called as the "Indonesian Derby". Some people also call it as "Indonesian El Clásico". But, the rivalry between the two teams only heated up in the 2000s. Because of the enmity of their two supporters and the rivalry now is seen more as a rivalry between each team's supporters group (Persija's The Jakmania and Persib's Bobotoh and/or Viking Persib Club). Influenced by the media and some individuals that want the rivalry to be preserved, many hostile incidents involving the two supporters group are still occurring even until this day. There have been many events and incidents that occurred as the result of enduring hostility between these two hard-line supporters. In 2014, there had been a reconciliation held by the West Java Police to avoid unnecessary future clashes.[22]

The rivalries with PSM Makassar is very emotional up to now and can be called the Red Derby Perserikatan recalling the Perserikatan era.[23]

Persija Jakarta's has competition with several clubs in the Perserikatan between PSM Makassar, Persebaya Surabaya, and PSMS Medan. [24][25]
