History

Persis Solo was established on 8 November 1923, Sastrosaksono from the M.A.R.S club and Raden Ngabehi Reksohadiprojo and Sutarman from the Romeo club initiated the formation of the Vorstenlandsche Voetbal Bond (VVB) as the forerunner of a football club that is the pride of the people of Solo. It is based on the belief of the three figures that the game of football can be played by anyone without any certain limitations.[3]

On 28 October 1928, VVB reacted to the moment of the Youth Pledge of 1928, since then VVB changed its name to Persatuan Sepakraga Indonesia Soerakarta (PERSIS). This name change is a form of appreciation for the values ​​of struggle and unity contained in the contents of the youth oath. Informally, the name PERSIS began to be used by the club.[3]

On 19 April 1930, they participated in the founding of the Indonesian football federation called PSSI (In Indonesian: Persatuan Sepakbola Seluruh Indonesia) with six clubs, Bandoengsche Indonesische Voetbal Bond (Persib Bandung), Indonesische Voetbal Bond Magelang (PPSM Magelang), Madioensche Voetbal Bond (PSM Madiun), United Sepakraga Mataram (PSIM Yogyakarta), Soerabajasche Indonesische Voetbal Bond (Persebaya Surabaya), and Voetbalbond Indonesische Jacarta (Persija Jakarta). The establishment of PSSI came from the spirit of the Indonesian people's struggle against Dutch imperialism at that time, and on 12 May 1933, PERSIS began to be inaugurated by the club through internal deliberation and began to be used officially.[3]

Persis Solo began to be known by the people of Solo. Then, they began to be based at the Manahan Stadium and Sriwedari Stadium which were used as the team's training center, they also cannot be separated from their fanatical supporters, Pasoepati. With the support of Pasoepati and the residents of Solo, they have also won several PSSI Perserikatan competitions seven times, namely in 1935, 1936, 1939, 1940, 1941, 1942, and 1943. Not only did they excel in the 1990s. Persis Solo started appearing in national football in 2006.[4]

The momentum for Persis Solo's revival was only felt that year. The local government took them seriously and succeeded in being promoted to the highest caste at the time, Liga Indonesia Premier Division. Persis Solo was able to produce talented young players at that time, two of whom were goalkeeper Wahyu Tri Nugroho and defender Wahyu Wijiastanto. Both managed to enter the Indonesian national team squad.[5]

Persis Solo became its own strength in 2007–08 Liga Djarum. They brought in big-name players, Greg Nwokolo, Harry Saputra, Rudi Widodo, Alvin Kie, and Frank Seator. Unfortunately, being in the highest caste only lasted a short time. In the following season, PSSI compiled the highest level competition under the name Indonesia Super League in 2008. Persis Solo was only able to finish in 10th place in the western group and failed to survive at the main level.[5]
