'''Bontang Football Club''' (formerly known as '''PKT Bontang''' or '''Pupuk Kaltim''') is an Indonesian professional football team located in Bontang, East Kalimantan in the island of Borneo. The homebase is Mulawarman Stadium. Bontang FC prides itself as the most successful club to come out of Kalimantan. They were semi-finalist of the 1994–95 Liga Indonesia and finalist in 1999–2000 Liga Indonesia Premier Division. Bontang FC also build a football academy namely ''Diklat Mandau'' or ''PKT Junior''.
== History == The club was founded as ''PS Pupuk Kaltim Galatama'' on 18 June 1988<ref name=autogenerated1 /> and founded by PT Pupuk Kaltim. It went through several name changes (''Pupuk Kaltim'' and ''PKT Bontang'') and changes as ''PS Bontang PKT'' (abbreviation from ''Persatuan Sepakbola Bontang Pupuk Kalimantan Timur'') in 2002.<ref name=autogenerated1 /> Bontang PKT was also one team in Liga Indonesia, who were never relegated from Liga Indonesia Premier Division. It also made some appearances in Asian Winners Cup and it was the first ever and last made by a club from Kalimantan.
