== History ==
=== Foundation and early years === thumb|Sriwijaya's first-ever squad in 2005.|267x267px|left The club was founded on 23 October 2004 as ''Sriwijaya Football Club'' after the Government of South Sumatra, led by Syahrial Oesman, bought the debt-ridden ''Persijatim Solo FC'', as the government wanted to manage a Palembang-based football team to compete in the top tier of Indonesian football. The province did not have any football clubs competing in the top tier of Indonesian football after the dissolution of Krama Yudha Tiga Berlian in 1992. The government also did not want the Gelora Sriwijaya Stadium, which was built with billions of rupiah to go wasted after the 2004 National Games. Historically, the club was founded in 1976 as ''Persijatim Jakarta Timur'', which is based in East Jakarta, before changed its name to ''Persijatim Solo Football Club'' after the club was sold and moved their home base to Solo, Central Java in 2002.<ref>{{cite web |title=Official Club Profile at Liga Indonesia Website |url=http://ligaindonesia.co.id/index.php/klub/SRIWIJAYA-FC-9/berita |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170501132007/http://ligaindonesia.co.id/index.php/klub/SRIWIJAYA-FC-9/berita |archive-date=1 May 2017 |access-date=4 January 2017 |work=ligaindonesia.co.id}}</ref> After the acquisition by the South Sumatra government in 2004, Sriwijaya moved its home base to Palembang, South Sumatra.<ref>{{cite web|title=Sejarah Lengkap SRIWIJAYA FC|url=http://kabarsriwijayafc.blogspot.de/2012/05/sriwijaya-fc.html|access-date=30 November 2014|language=id|archive-date=5 December 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141205170557/http://kabarsriwijayafc.blogspot.de/2012/05/sriwijaya-fc.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fourfourtwo.com/id/features/mengapa-klub-klub-indonesia-mudah-pindah-dan-berganti-nama|title=Mengapa Klub-Klub Indonesia Mudah Pindah dan Berganti Nama?|date=13 April 2016|work=fourfourtwo.com|access-date=4 January 2017|archive-date=29 November 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161129121313/http://www.fourfourtwo.com/id/features/mengapa-klub-klub-indonesia-mudah-pindah-dan-berganti-nama|url-status=dead}}</ref> The name "Sriwijaya" come from the ancient Srivijaya empire, that used to rule the land in the old days.

Sriwijaya's first competitive season after the new ownership was 2005 Liga Indonesia Premier Division. The club's squad at that time was filled with some players from Persijatim Solo FC, such as Ferry Rotinsulu, Tony Sucipto, and Wijay. Also with the addition of native players from South Sumatra, such as Jarot and Septariyanto.<ref>{{Cite web |date=18 April 2020 |title=Flashback : Nyaris Degradasi, Ini Skuat Sriwijaya FC Musim 2004/2005 |url=https://www.viralsumsel.com/flashback-nyaris-degradasi-ini-skuat-sriwijaya-fc-musim-2004-2005/ |access-date=15 August 2024 |website=viralsumsel.com |language=id}}</ref>
At the beginning of the season, the club was coached by an Englishman Erick Williams, before he was sacked in the middle of the season due to several poor performances that caused the club to fall into the relegation zone. Jeri Wardin, who was previously Williams' assistant, was appointed as the club's head coach before his position was finally replaced by Suimin Diharja. Under Diharja, Sriwijaya's performance gradually improved, and at the end of the season managed to maintain the club in the flagship competition after finishing in ninth place of West Division.<ref>{{Cite web |date=5 February 2023 |editor-last=Odi |editor-first=Aria |title=Profil Suimin Diharja, Pelatih Tegas Selamatkan Sriwijaya FC dari Degradasi di Musim 2005/2006 |url=https://palembang.tribunnews.com/2023/02/05/profil-suimin-diharja-pelatih-tegas-selamatkan-sriwijaya-fc-dari-degradasi-di-musim-20052006 |access-date=15 August 2024 |website=sripoku.com |language=id}}</ref>

In the next stage, Sriwijaya was included in Group A of the last 8, competing with Persiwa Wamena, PSMS Medan, and Arema Malang. From 3 matches, the club topped the final standings of the group by collecting five points from three matches. This success also led ''Laskar Wong Kito'' to the knockout phase. In the semifinals, the club won narrowly 1–0 over Persija Jakarta where the only goal was scored by Kayamba. On 10 February 2008, the club competed in the final against another Sumatran team, PSMS Medan. The full-time result ended in a 1–1 draw which made the match continue to extra time. In the extra time, the club managed to score two goals by Kayamba and Zah Rahan which made the score 3–1 until the end of the match, which made Sriwijaya emerge as the champion of the 2007–08 Liga Indonesia Premier Division. This trophy also became Sriwijaya's first championship since the club was founded.<ref name="sej">{{cite web |title=Sejarah Jawara Sumatera Sriwijaya FC dari Masa Ke Masa |url=http://sriwijaya-soccer.blogspot.de/2013/04/sejarah-jawara-sumatera-sriwijaya-fc.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141205170557/http://sriwijaya-soccer.blogspot.de/2013/04/sejarah-jawara-sumatera-sriwijaya-fc.html |archive-date=5 December 2014 |access-date=30 November 2014 |language=id}}</ref>

In the tournament, the club for the first time reached the final round, while securing this title after defeating Persipura in the final. In the final held at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, Sriwijaya emerged as champions after winning the penalty shootout.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Mukti |first=Taufan Bara |date=2021-01-17 |title=Kilas Balik Final Copa Indonesia 2007: Kala Ferry Rotinsulu Bikin Tiga Algojo Persipura Mati Kutu |url=https://www.skor.id/post/kilas-balik-final-copa-indonesia-2007-kala-ferry-rotinsulu-bikin-tiga-algojo-persipura-mati-kutu-01364424 |access-date=2024-08-16 |website=www.skor.id |language=id}}</ref>
In the 2008–09 season, after winning the domestic league and cup in the previous season, Sriwijaya competed on the continental stage for the first time. The club were placed in Group F of the 2009 AFC Champions League along with Gamba Osaka, FC Seoul and Shandong Luneng, but were only able to collect one win from 6 matches. This result made the club bottom of Group F. In domestic competition, Sriwijaya finished in fifth place of the 2008–09 Indonesia Super League with 54 points from 15 matches, and scored 60 goals. In domestic cup, they managed to win the Copa Indonesia for the second time in a row, and gave them a ticket to the AFC Champions League play-offs for the following season.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Indonesia 2008/09 |url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesi/indo08.html |access-date=2024-08-16 |website=www.rsssf.org}}</ref>
In the following season, Sriwijaya emerged as the champion of the 2010 Copa Indonesia, while also setting a record as the only domestic cup champion in three consecutive seasons. The result was achieved after the team won 2–1 over Arema Indonesia in the final, held at the Manahan Stadium on 1 August 2010. In the league, Sriwijaya was only able to finish in eighth place with 48 points in the 2009–10 Indonesia Super League, the club's worst result in the last 4 seasons. On the continental stage, the club started by competing against the Singapore Armed Forces in the 2010 AFC Champions League qualifying play-off, but lost 3–0 to the Singapore team, and had to fall to the second level of Asian competition, AFC Cup.<ref>{{Cite web |date=29 March 2010 |editor-last=Rahedian |editor-first=Rafif |title=Mengingat Kegagalan Beruntun Sriwijaya di Play-off Liga Champions Asia |url=https://www.indosport.com/sepakbola/20200329/mengingat-kegagalan-beruntun-sriwijaya-di-play-off-liga-champions-asia |access-date=16 August 2024 |website=indosport.com |language=id}}</ref> The club won the Group F of 2010 AFC Cup by beating Bình Dương, Selangor and Victory SC in the final standings.

=== Second league title and continental appearances ===
In mid-2010, Sriwijaya terminated Rahmad Darmawan's contract, and appointed Bulgarian coach Ivan Kolev – who had previously coached the Indonesia national team – as head coach. Under Kolev, the club managed to win 2 cup trophies before the league started, 2010 Indonesian Community Shield and Indonesian Inter-Island Cup. In the league, the club captained by Keith "Kayamba" Gumbs, reinforced by a combination of elite local and foreign players, such as Thierry Gathuessy, Achmad Jufrianto, Ponaryo Astaman, Firman Utina, Budi Sudarsono, and Oktavianus Maniani. Despite having a capable squad, at the end of the season, the club was only able to finish in fifth place in the 2010–11 Indonesia Super League with 46 points.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-05-08 |title=Flashback : Modal Dua Gelar Juara Pra Musim, Inilah Skuat Sriwijaya FC 2010/2011|url=https://www.viralsumsel.com/flashback-modal-dua-gelar-juara-pra-musim-inilah-skuat-sriwijaya-fc-2010-2011/amp/ |access-date=2024-08-16 |website=ViralSumsel.com |language=id}}</ref> This result made the club terminate Ivan Kolev's contract ahead of the next season.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2011-07-11 |title=Ivan Kolev Kaget Diputus Kontrak Sriwijaya FC |url=https://bola.tempo.co/read/345974/ivan-kolev-kaget-diputus-kontrak-sriwijaya-fc |access-date=2024-08-16 |website=Tempo |language=id}}</ref> [[File:Sriwijaya Celebration.jpg|thumb|Sriwijaya players celebrated a goal in the 2011–12 Indonesia Super League.]] {{football squad on pitch|align=right|caption=Sriwijaya Squad During the 2011-12 Championship Season | GK_nat = INA| GK = '''Ferry''' | RB_nat = INA | RB = '''Supardi''' | RCB_nat = INA | RCB = '''Jufriyanto''' | LCB_nat = CMR | LCB = '''Thierry''' | LB_nat = INA | LB = '''Mahyadi''' | RCM_nat = KOR | RCM = '''Joon-Sik''' | LCM_nat = INA | LCM = '''Ponaryo''' (c) | AM_nat = INA | AM = '''Firman''' | RW_nat = INA | RW = '''Ridwan''' | LW_nat = BRA | LW = '''Hilton''' | CF_nat = SKN | CF = '''Gumbs''' }} In 2011, Kas Hartadi was promoted as Sriwijaya's head coach after being Kolev's assistant the previous season. The club's new season with Hartadi was to compete in the qualifying play-off round of the 2011 AFC Champions League. In the first match, the team managed to beat Muangthong United on penalties, but lost in the next round to UAE team, Al Ain. This result made the club compete in the AFC Cup for the second time, where Sriwijaya managed to qualify for the knockout stage after finishing as runners-up in the final standings of Group F, alongside group winners Sông Lam Nghệ An. In the round of 16, the team failed to secure a ticket to the quarter-finals after losing to Chonburi 3–0.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Sriwijaya Dikandaskan Chonburi |url=https://sport.detik.com/sepakbola/liga-indonesia/d-1647200/sriwijaya-dikandaskan-chonburi |access-date=2024-08-17 |website=sepakbola |language=id-ID}}</ref>
In the league, Sriwijaya appeared in the 2011–12 Indonesian Super League, which was under the control of a joint committee to continue to be managed by PT Liga Indonesia. This competition was the first ISL season held without permission from the Football Association of Indonesia due to internal conflict, where PSSI under the leadership of Johar Arifin officially replaced the top league with Indonesian Premier League.<ref>{{cite web |title=Dua PSSI sepakat perbaiki sepakbola Indonesia |url=http://bolanews.com/read/sepakbola/indonesia/8968-Dua-PSSI-Sepakat-Perbaiki-Sepak-Bola-Indonesia.html |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222223149/http://bolanews.com/read/sepakbola/indonesia/8968-Dua-PSSI-Sepakat-Perbaiki-Sepak-Bola-Indonesia.html |archive-date=22 February 2014 |access-date=7 June 2012 |publisher=bolanews.com}}</ref>
Despite the polemics, Sriwijaya managed to appear mighty throughout the season with the famous duo of Kayamba-Hilton, and managed to win the league for the second time at the end of the season. The team managed to top the final standings with 25 wins – the most in a single season in the history of the Indonesian top-flight. Sriwijaya lifted the league trophy after winning the ''Perang Bintang'' (Star Wars) match against the ISL All-Star on 15 July 2012 at the Gelora Sriwijaya Stadium.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2012-06-20 |title=Sriwijaya FC Juara ISL 2011/2012 |url=https://sport.republika.co.id/berita/m5x0d1/sriwijaya-fc-juara-isl-20112012 |access-date=2024-08-16 |website=Republika Online |language=id}}</ref> At the end of the year, Sriwijaya also managed to win the 2012 Indonesian Inter-Island Cup after defeating Persisam Samarinda 5–4 in a penalty shootout on 13 December 2012 at Manahan Stadium.<ref>{{Cite web |date=24 December 2012 |title=Sriwijaya FC Juara Inter.

===Financial problem and first relegation=== [[File:Sriwijaya FC squad 2019.jpg|left|thumb|Sriwijaya starting line-up in 2019 Liga 2 season.]] In early 2018, ahead of a Liga 1 season, coinciding with the club's president at that time, Dodi Reza Alex, who was running for Governor of South Sumatra in the People's Democratic Party, ''Laskar Wong Kito'' was intensively active in the transfer market. They brought in 12 players, most of whom were elite local players, such as Hamka Hamzah, Estebán Vizcarra, Syahrian Abimanyu, and Adam Alis – along with 3 foreign players, Mouhamadou N'Diaye, Manuchekhr Dzhalilov, and Makan Konaté. The club also brought back Rahmad Darmawan as head coach, who had coached the club when it won the double in 2008, and the Copa Indonesia three times in a row. The results of this club's activities paid off with the team winning the pre-season tournament, the East Kalimantan Governor's Cup after defeating Arema 3–2 in the final match. However, in the middle of the season, with Dodi Reza's failure in the general election, Sriwijaya suddenly lost several key players and coaches. This caused the team to falter as they entered the second half of the season, and were relegated to Indonesia's second division, Liga 2, for the following season. This happened after they finished second from bottom in the 2018 Liga 1.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://bola.kompas.com/read/2018/12/10/14000028/sriwijaya-fc-turun-kasta-klub-anti-degradasi-hanya-tersisa-7|title=Sriwijaya FC Turun Kasta, Klub Anti Degradasi Hanya Tersisa 7|last=Rudi|first=Alsadad|editor-last=Indriawati|editor-first=Tri|date=10 December 2018|work=Kompas.com|language=id|access-date=14 September 2022|archive-date=30 August 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220830011117/https://bola.kompas.com/read/2018/12/10/14000028/sriwijaya-fc-turun-kasta-klub-anti-degradasi-hanya-tersisa-7|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bola.com/indonesia/read/3807000/kisah-tragis-sriwijaya-fc-dan-rahmad-darmawan-di-liga-1-2018|title=Kisah Tragis Sriwijaya FC dan Rahmad Darmawan di Liga 1 2018|last=Yosia|first=Ario|date=13 December 2018|work=Bola.com|language=id|access-date=17 September 2022|archive-date=16 September 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220916014554/https://www.bola.com/indonesia/read/3807000/kisah-tragis-sriwijaya-fc-dan-rahmad-darmawan-di-liga-1-2018|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bolasport.com/read/311362444/runtuhnya-era-kerajaan-sriwijaya-klub-kendaraan-politik-yang-ingin-tampil-heroik-bak-juventus|title=Runtuhnya Era Kerajaan Sriwijaya, Klub Kendaraan Politik yang Ingin Tampil Heroik Bak Juventus|last=Setiyoko|first=Adif|editor-last=Hariputro|editor-first=Ramaditya Domas|date=13 December 2018|work=BolaSport.com|language=id|access-date=18 September 2022|archive-date=16 September 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220916021742/https://www.bolasport.com/read/311362444/runtuhnya-era-kerajaan-sriwijaya-klub-kendaraan-politik-yang-ingin-tampil-heroik-bak-juventus|url-status=live}}</ref>
== Colours and badge == === Badge === The first logo on the Sriwijaya emblem was introduced in 2004 after the club was acquired, featuring a simple logo with a round shape dominated by the color blue. Inside the logo is written the name and acronym of the club. The following year, a new, more complex logo was introduced, symbolizing the club's strength, unity, and peace. The logo takes a form of a circle, with aspects included in the logo include the words ''Sumatera Selatan'' (South Sumatra) indicating that the club is owned by the government of South Sumatra. The words ''Bersatu Teguh'' (United Firmly) represent the integrity of the supporters and the club. The image of the Garuda shows strength and precision. Behind the main logo, Mount Dempo and the Ampera Bridge are seen, both seen as the pride and determination of South Sumatra.<ref>{{cite web |date=7 November 2005 |title=Sriwijaya FC Ganti Logo, Target 4 Besar |url=http://www.tempo.co/read/news/2005/11/07/06868919/Sriwijaya-FC-Ganti-Logo-Target-4-Besar |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141205121337/http://www.tempo.co/read/news/2005/11/07/06868919/Sriwijaya-FC-Ganti-Logo-Target-4-Besar |archive-date=5 December 2014 |access-date=30 November 2014 |language=id}}</ref>
In the 2008–09 season as double winners after winning the top division (Liga Indonesia Primer Division) and the primary domestic cup (Copa Indonesia) in the previous season, Sriwijaya launched the second one which is still used today. The club's new logo is oval shaped and dominated by the colors maroon and flaxen. Some aspects of the old logo are still maintained in this logo, such as the words ''Sumatera Selatan Bersatu Teguh'' written in white letters, as well as the icon of the Ampera Bridge in maroon. A new aspect added was the image of an Eagle, replacing the previously used Garuda, thus creating a new club nickname, ''Elang Andalas'' (The Andalas Eagles).

=== Colours === thumb|A girl wearing maroon attributes while supporting Sriwijaya. Historically, Sriwijaya's identity colors are yellow and green, which represent the coat of arms of South Sumatra. The club has used yellow as its home jersey color for more than a decade since its formation. In the 2020 season, the club made a surprising decision by changing the club's color identity and the home jersey color to maroon. This color change was based on the concern that the Sriwijaya supporter group could later unite with one color. Maroon was chosen because it is the typical color of the icon of Palembang, the Ampera Bridge.<ref>{{Cite web |date=12 January 2020 |title=Setelah Ganti Jargon, Sriwijaya FC Ganti Warna Jersey |url=https://www.viralsumsel.com/setelah-ganti-jargon-sriwijaya-fc-ganti-warna-jersey/ |access-date=15 August 2024 |website=viralsumsel.com |language=id}}</ref>

The song was created in 2018 by the team captain at that time, Hamka Hamzah and was recorded with representatives of several Sriwijaya supporter groups. Since its release, the song has always been played as an anthem before and after the team's home games, aiming to strengthen relations between the three groups of the club supporters (Singa Mania, S-Man and Ultras Palembang).<ref>{{Cite web |date=2018-03-14 |title=Anthem Sriwijaya FC, Mantapkan Perdamaian dan Persatuan Antar Suporter Sendiri |url=https://bolaskor.merahputih.com/post/read/anthem-sriwijaya-fc-mantapkan-perdamaian-dan-persatuan-antar-suporter-sendiri |access-date=2024-08-16 |website=BolaSkor |language=id}}</ref>

Since its founding in 2004, Sriwijaya has played its home games at Jakabaring Stadium, which was later renamed Gelora Sriwijaya Stadium to honor and celebrate the 7th—13th century Indonesian empire of Srivijaya. The stadium located in the Jakabaring Sport City complex, Palembang, South Sumatra and has a capacity of 23,000 spectators.<ref name=":1" /> The stadium was built by the South Sumatra government in 2001 and completed in 2004 to host the National Games.<ref name=":1">{{cite web |title=Sriwijaya FC Vs Persib Bandung, Djanur: Laskar Wong Kito Punya Motivasi Berlipat |url=http://www.tribunnews.com/superball/2014/09/04/sriwijaya-fc-vs-persib-bandung-djanur-laskar-wong-kito-punya-motivasi-berlipat |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140908172738/http://www.tribunnews.com/superball/2014/09/04/sriwijaya-fc-vs-persib-bandung-djanur-laskar-wong-kito-punya-motivasi-berlipat |archive-date=8 September 2014 |access-date=25 November 2014 |language=id}}</ref> The stadium has been the home of the Indonesia national team for several times, and is also the home of the Indonesia women's national team. The last renovation carried out was during preparation to host the 2021 FIFA U-20 World Cup. The government increased the budget to IDR20 billion to repair the renovation of the Gelora Sriwijaya Stadium for: Repairing the main field, repainting the front of the stadium, and the using of FIFA standard grass, Zoysia matrella.
For the 2017 Liga 1 and most of the 2018 Liga 1, Sriwijaya had to move their ground to Bumi Sriwijaya Stadium, which is also located in Palembang, when Gelora Sriwijaya Stadium underwent renovation for the 2018 Asian Games and was later used as one of the venues for the multi-sport event. Bumi Sriwijaya has a capacity of 15,000 spectators and after its renovation in 2017 the capacity was decreased into 6,000 spectators and all seater.<ref>{{Cite web |title=World Stadiums - Stadiums in Indonesia |url=http://www.worldstadiums.com/asia/countries/indonesia.shtml |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190323052802/http://www.worldstadiums.com/asia/countries/indonesia.shtml |archive-date=2019-03-23 |access-date=2019-01-04 |website=www.worldstadiums.com}}</ref>
== Supporters and rivalries == === Supporters === thumb|''Ultras Palembang'' while supporting Sriwijaya in 2024. Along with the establishment of Sriwijaya Football Club which made its debut in the 2005 Liga Indonesia Premier Division, the only Sriwijaya supporter group at that time was called ''SFC Mania'', which later changed to ''Sriwijaya Mania'' (or commonly abbreviated as ''S-Man''), with its chairman Mohammad Masyaheril. In 2005, there was a split so that Sriwijaya Mania was divided into two, ''Sriwijaya Ngamuk Mania'' (''Singa Mania'') and ''Sriwijaya Mania Sumsel'' (''SMS'').<ref name="tribunsumsel20230911">{{Cite web |date=11 September 2023 |editor-last=Teguh |editor-first=Slamet |title=Sejarah Tiga Kelompok Suporter Sriwijaya FC, Viral Disorot TV Suporter Serba Hitam Dikira Berkabung |url=https://sumsel.tribunnews.com/2023/09/11/sejarah-tiga-kelompok-suporter-sriwijaya-fc-viral-disorot-tv-suporter-serba-hitam-dikira-berkabung |access-date=15 August 2024 |website=sumsel.tribunnews.com |language=id}}</ref> Singa Mania was born due to differences in principles when he was still part of S-Man. The emergence of Singa Mania was influenced by the oddity of the S-Man organizational system which was not transparent. This supporter group chose the North Stand as a place for them to shout proud chants to support the club with their grand-green clothes, which are a representation of the symbol of South Sumatra. While SMS chose the South Stand and wore yellow clothes, in harmony with the club's colors.<ref name="tribunsumsel20230911" />
In 2007, ''Ultras Palembang'' was born following the trend of supporters from Italian culture, which takes the meaning of out of the ordinary. Ultras Palembang refers to the habits of AC Milan supporters to introduce the phenomenon of supporters who are not just supporters, but have a solid, unbreakable soul, and militants who really involve the emotional side of the club. This group grew in an organized manner, wearing all-black attributes, and then using the East Stand to support the club.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Agustin |first=Feny Maulia |date=8 October 2022 |title=Sejarah Suporter Sriwijaya FC: Dewasa yang Menyatukan |url=https://sumsel.idntimes.com/sport/soccer/feny-agustin/sejarah-suporter-sriwijaya-fc-dewasa-yang-menyatukan?page=all |access-date=15 August 2024 |website=IDN Times Sumsel |language=Id}}</ref>

One of the most famous derby matches ever played by the club was on 10 February 2008 during the grand final of the 2007–08 Liga Indonesia Premier Division against PSMS Medan. The full-time ended in a 1–1 draw which sent the match into extra time. In the extra time, the club managed to score two goals by Keith "Kayamba" Gumbs and Zah Rahan which made the score 3–1 until the end of the match, which made Sriwijaya come out as league champions that season. Sriwijaya also has an inter-island rivalry with Persipura Jayapura, where the two giant clubs competed for the domestic title in the 2000s to early 2010s. The matches they play are always heated and take place with high intensity, which makes their meetings called "''The Real Clásico''".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kurniawan |first=Heri |date=18 December 2023 |title=Sempat Jadi Raja Sepak Bola Indonesia, Persipura dan Sriwijaya FC Harus Berjuang untuk Tidak Terdegradasi dari Pegadaian Liga 2 |url=https://www.bola.com/indonesia/read/5483781/sempat-jadi-raja-sepak-bola-indonesia-persipura-dan-sriwijaya-fc-harus-berjuang-untuk-tidak-terdegradasi-dari-pegadaian-liga-2?page=3 |access-date=15 August 2024 |website=bola.com |language=id}}</ref>
