'''Persatuan Sepakbola Indonesia Jakarta''' ({{lit.}} 'Indonesian Football Association of Jakarta'), abbreviated as '''Persija''' ({{IPA|id|pərsidʒa}}), is an Indonesian professional football club based in the Indonesian capital city of Jakarta. Persija Jakarta is the most successful football clubs in Indonesia with 2 Indonesian League titles and 9 Perserikatan titles. It has never been in a lower league since a nationwide competition started in 1930.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesi/indiechamp.html|title=Perserikatan era under PSSI|website=RSSSF|access-date=2017-10-13|archive-date=13 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171013064731/http://www.rsssf.com/tablesi/indiechamp.html#stadpssi|url-status=live}}</ref> Persija is one of the founders of the Indonesian football association PSSI, along with six other clubs.

==History== ===Foundation and early years=== Persija has roots that predate the current Indonesian state, which declared independence in 1945. Its forerunner, the ''Voetbalbond Indonesia Jacatra'' (VIJ), was formed on 28 November 1928 as a football club for Indonesian residents of Jakarta when the Dutch were still colonizing the country. The name Jacatra refers to a fort on the northern coast of present-day Jakarta. VIJ, along with six other Indonesian clubs, established PSSI on 19 April 1930 and won the first PSSI-authorized competition in 1931. In 1937, VIJ did not enter the competition but after that the club was always in the top division.<ref name="Tentang Persija">{{Cite web|url=https://persija.id/tentang-persija/|title=Tentang Persija|access-date=7 March 2021|archive-date=14 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210414015008/https://persija.id/tentang-persija/|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://juara.bolasport.com/read/sepak-bola/indonesia/56141-mengurai-sejarah-persija-jakarta|title=Mengurai sejarah Persija Jakarta|publisher=juara.bolasport.com|access-date=2017-10-13|archive-date=22 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171222051034/https://juara.bolasport.com/read/sepak-bola/indonesia/56141-mengurai-sejarah-persija-jakarta|url-status=live}}</ref>
===Post-independence=== VIJ changed its name to Persija in 1950, five years after the Indonesian independence. In mid-1951, a club with ethnic Chinese, Dutch and Eurasian players merged with the rebranded outfit. As the Indonesia national football team in the 1950s heavily depended on Persija players, its line-ups at that time were filled by many ethnic Chinese, Dutch and Eurasian players from the Jakarta club.<ref name="Tentang Persija"/>
===Amateur years (1951–1994)=== After the 1945 independence, national football competitions in Indonesia centred on region-based associations of amateur clubs that received funding from the state. These associations, including Persija, played against each other in an annual tournament known as '''Perserikatan''', which literally means union. Almost all of these associations were seen as representatives of the main ethnic group in their respective regions, flaming primordial sentiments. Multicultural Persija was the exception. Persija won six national titles in the Perserikatan years. However, its fanbase was small and less passionate compared to ethnic-based supporter groups of Persib Bandung, Persebaya Surabaya, PSM Makassar or PSMS Medan. As the Perserikatan games became popular and televised from the 1980s, the other clubs proved to be more dominant with their stronger band of supporters.
===Semi-professional years (1994–2008)=== PSSI tried to combine the popular Perserikatan teams with the professional clubs from the Galatama league, which was struggling to attract a healthy-sized audience as the clubs did not attract primordial sentiments, into a league called Liga Indonesia. Persija, with a weak fanbase, continued its poor streak in the early years of Liga Indonesia until former army general Sutiyoso was appointed as governor of Jakarta in 1997 amid nationwide demonstrations that demanded the end of military-backed authoritarianism and the start of democratic elections at all levels.
Recognizing that he must win support to secure another term, Sutiyoso used Persija as an outreach vehicle. In 1997, Sutiyoso rebranded Persija with a different colour. Orange replaced red to stress Persija's tiger symbol while national players were recruited and more professional management was introduced. The governor also wielded his powers to motivate other Jakarta clubs in Liga Indonesia, including the once-successful Pelita Jaya FC, to leave the capital city. To augment the fanbase, the Jakmania supporter group was created in December 1997. The total makeover paid off with Persija winning the 2001 national title, a fanbase developing into the biggest in the country and Sutiyoso securing a second term in 2002. The flip side of this top-down approach is constant taunts from supporters of other clubs calling Persija as "anak papa" (papa's boy), which has become louder since Persija won its next national title in 2018.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.skor.id/epos-persija-jakarta-sutiyoso-bapak-evolusi-macan-kemayoran-01335079|title=Epos Persija Jakarta: Sutiyoso Bapak Evolusi Macan Kemayoran|access-date=7 March 2021|archive-date=26 May 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220526055831/https://www.skor.id/epos-persija-jakarta-sutiyoso-bapak-evolusi-macan-kemayoran-01335079|url-status=live}}</ref>
===Professional years (2008–present)=== The emergence of the Indonesian Super League in 2008 came amid pressure on Perserikatan teams to stop relying on the state budget and increase professional management. Persija, with the ability to attract supporters, sponsors and quality players, evolved into a well-oiled machine that performed well in different forms of competitions in Indonesia. However, it failed to win a national title in these professional years until 2018 when it championed the 2018 Liga 1. While Jakmania turned the capital city orange after the crowning, supporters of other clubs mocked the victory as engineered so that Persija could finally end its 17-year drought. These naysayers argue that PSSI influenced several decisions during the season that unfairly benefitted Persija, including the goals scored in the 9 December 2018 game that sealed the title.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bola.com/indonesia/read/3818081/2-gol-penentu-persija-juara-dinilai-kontroversial|title=2 Gol Penentu Persija Juara Dinilai Kontroversial|date=17 December 2018|access-date=7 March 2021|archive-date=1 May 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220501082210/https://www.bola.com/indonesia/read/3818081/2-gol-penentu-persija-juara-dinilai-kontroversial|url-status=live}}</ref> {{football squad on pitch|align=right|caption=2018 Liga 1 winning team | GK_nat = INA| GK = '''Andritany''' | RB_nat = INA | RB = '''Ismed''' (c) | RCB_nat = BRA | RCB = '''Jaime''' | LCB_nat = INA | LCB = '''Maman''' | LB_nat = INA | LB = '''Novri''' | RCM_nat = NEP | RCM = '''Chand''' | LCM_nat = INA | LCM = '''Sandi''' | AM_nat = INA | AM = '''Ramdani''' | RW_nat = INA | RW = '''Riko''' | LW_nat = INA | LW = '''Rezaldi''' | CF_nat = CRO | CF = '''Šimić''' }} Controversy aside, Persija is undeniably one of Indonesia's leading clubs with a fanbase that is now considered as the biggest in Asia, according to a December 2020 survey by the Asian Football Confederation. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Persija games could easily gather more than 50,000 people inside the stadium with thousands watching on public screens in neighbourhoods across the sprawling capital. Persija holds the record for highest attendance in an AFC Cup match when it faced with Johor Darul Ta'zim F.C. in 2018.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.the-afc.com/news/afcsection/the-search-for-asia-s-most-popular-football-club-asean|title=The search for Asia's Most Popular Football Club: Persija Jakarta, Johor Darul Ta'zim advance to final | Football | News ||access-date=7 March 2021|archive-date=5 February 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210205142306/https://www.the-afc.com/news/afcsection/the-search-for-asia-s-most-popular-football-club-asean|url-status=live}}</ref>

Before settling at the GBK, the club used smaller stadiums as their home ground. For the 2017 Liga 1 and much of the 2018 Liga 1, Persija had to relocate to nearby Bekasi and use the Patriot Chandrabhaga Stadium or the Wibawa Mukti Stadium, when the GBK stadium underwent renovation for the 2018 Asian Games.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://m.liputan6.com/bola/read/2917679/persija-berbagi-kandang-dengan-bhayangkara-fc|title=Persija Berbagi Kandang dengan Bhayangkara FC|last=Nuralam|first=Cakrayuri|location=Jakarta|work=Liputan6.com|access-date=2018-11-08|archive-date=8 November 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181108184505/https://m.liputan6.com/bola/read/2917679/persija-berbagi-kandang-dengan-bhayangkara-fc|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jpnn.com/news/nah-sudah-deal-ini-kandang-persija-untuk-musim-2017|title=Nah!

==Kit colours== thumb|right|Orange Persija home jersey, used in the 2000 season {{Commons|Persija Jakarta kits}} Persija Jakarta's traditional colour is red, which is used for their home kit. Jakarta Governor Sutiyoso in 1997 replaced it with orange to make it in line with the tiger symbol during the rebranding of the club. After 19 years, in 2016, Persija decided to return to red after a long national title drought. The experiment worked as Persija championed the top-tier league in 2018. Frequently, the colour of their away jersey is white. But sometimes, players wear black in their away matches. Orange has been kept as the color of their third jersey.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://olahraga.kompasiana.com/bola/2012/05/27/persija-yang-asli-itu-merah-466215.html |title=Persija is Red |website=olahraga.kompasiana.com |access-date=16 May 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130215090352/http://olahraga.kompasiana.com/bola/2012/05/27/persija-yang-asli-itu-merah-466215.html |archive-date=15 February 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

==Supporters== Persija's main supporter group is called the ''Jakmania'' or simply ''the Jak''. Founded in 1997 by Gugun Gondrong and Ferry Indra Sjarif, the Jakmania is one of the biggest football fan groups in Indonesia and uses orange as their main colour.
The anthem of Persija, ''Persija Menyatukan Kita Semua'', written by the Jakmania, is always sung after the match.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://kampiun.id/suporter/09/lirik-anthem-persija-jakarta-persija-menyatukan-kita-semua/|title=Lirik Anthem Persija Jakarta: Persija Menyatukan Kita Semua|last=Wara|first=Jalad|date=2018-09-17|website=KAMPIUN.ID|language=id|access-date=2020-03-01|archive-date=1 March 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200301150827/https://kampiun.id/suporter/09/lirik-anthem-persija-jakarta-persija-menyatukan-kita-semua/|url-status=live}}</ref>

The rivalry between the two teams has become violent in the 2000s due to the growth of ultras on each side. Influenced by mass media and individuals who want the rivalry to be preserved, many hostile incidents involving the teams' supporter groups have occurred with seven deaths so far. Most notable was that of the Jakmania's Haringga Sirla, who was beaten to death by a group of ''Vikings'', supporters of Persib, at Gelora Bandung Lautan Api Stadium in September 2018.<ref>{{Cite web|url = https://www.bola.com/indonesia/read/3650684/ini-daftar-suporter-persib-dan-persija-yang-tewas-sejak-2012|title = Ini Daftar Suporter Persib dan Persija yang Tewas sejak 2012|date = 23 September 2018|access-date = 7 March 2021|archive-date = 3 December 2020|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20201203194846/https://www.bola.com/indonesia/read/3650684/ini-daftar-suporter-persib-dan-persija-yang-tewas-sejak-2012|url-status = live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://ultrasin-indonesia.blogspot.com/2013/01/sejarah-terbentuknya-jak-mania.html|title=Sejarah Terbentuknya Jak Mania|publisher=Ultras in Indonesia|access-date=3 January 2021|archive-date=4 May 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200504165320/http://ultrasin-indonesia.blogspot.com/2013/01/sejarah-terbentuknya-jak-mania.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
In 2014, a reconciliation was held by the West Java Police to avoid future clashes, resulting in restrictions against travelling supporters.

Persija also has rivalries with other Jakarta-based football clubs, dubbed ''Derby Ibukota'' (the Capital Derby) or ''Jakarta Derby''. However, unlike its rivalries with former Perserikatan teams, Persija's rivalries with other Jakarta-based clubs are low in intensity due to fewer matches held against them. The only rivalry worth mentioning between Persija and said clubs is with Persitara Jakarta Utara.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hakim |first=Ikhsan Abdul |date=2021-03-25 |title=Persitara vs Persija: Menanti Derbi Jakarta Kembali |url=https://panditfootball.com/cerita/214291/persitara-vs-persija-menanti-derbi-jakarta-kembali |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211029104358/https://www.panditfootball.com/cerita/214291//210325/persitara-vs-persija-menanti-derbi-jakarta-kembali |archive-date=2021-10-29 |access-date=2023-09-17 |website=Pandit Football Indonesia}}</ref>
