Persikabo 1973
View on Wikipediafrom Wikipedia
Persatuan Sepakbola Indonesia Kabupaten Bogor 1973, commonly known as Persikabo 1973, is an Indonesian professional football club based in Bogor Regency, West Java, Indonesia.[3] The club set to competes in the Liga 4, the fourth tier of Indonesian football, following withdrawal from the Liga Nusantara in the 2025/26 season.
Key Information
History
[edit]This club started from an initiative to participate in the 2015 Piala Jenderal Sudirman tournament with a team that incorporated players from the professional PSMS Medan club into the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI)'s amateur club, PS TNI. After this tournament, PS TNI parted ways with PSMS Medan but decided to become a professional club that combines soldiers with professional players. In March 2016, PS TNI appointed their first professional coach, Englishman Judan Ali and acquired Persiram Raja Ampat, a cash-strapped first-tier team from the impoverished West Papua province, for a cost of 17 billion rupiah.[4][5][6]
For the 2018 Liga 1 season, PS TNI were renamed as PS TIRA to dilute the TNI association and moved to Bantul. The team finished 2018 Liga 1 in 15th position and escaped relegation after securing a vital 3–1 win against Borneo in the last match of the season. PS TIRA later merged with Liga 3 club Persikabo Bogor in early 2019 to form PS TIRA-Persikabo and play at Pakansari Stadium in Bogor Regency.[7][8][9][10]
Ahead of the 2020 Liga 1 season, PS TIRA-Persikabo changed its name to Persikabo 1973.[11] But they used the name TIRA-Persikabo and the same logo for the 2020 Liga 1 season because these changes were not approved by the Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI). During its May 2021 annual congress, PSSI said the club cancelled the plan to propose for a name change.[12][13] But they used the name Persikabo 1973 as a commercial arrangement for the 2021–22 Liga 1 season.[14]
In the 2023–24 Liga 1 season, Persikabo were relegated to the Liga 2, with 4 matches left to spare, ending their seven-years tenure in the top division.[15]
In the 2024–25 Liga 2 season, Persikabo were relegated to Liga Nusantara after finishing at the bottom of the Relegation Round, lasted only one-year tenure in the second division. This also marks back-to-back relegations for Persikabo, following their relegation from the 2023–24 Liga 1 at the previous season.[16]

History
Founding and early years
Persikabo Bogor was established on 23 December 1973 in Bogor Regency, West Java, by a group of local enthusiasts including government and sports officials such as Regent Caca Sasmita, DPRD Chairman Letkol Djuari, KONI Kabupaten Bogor Chairman Didi Kuswandi, DPRD member Abdullah Alwahdi, and KONI Secretary Armen Syafii. The club's formation reflected the post-independence surge in Indonesian football, which gained momentum after 1945 through initiatives like the Perserikatan amateur league system introduced by PSSI in 1951, fostering regional representation and national unity. As an amateur outfit, Persikabo aimed to nurture local talent and compete in grassroots competitions, initially drawing players from the regency's communities. In its formative years, Persikabo participated in regional Perserikatan tournaments, building experience against other provincial teams while operating under limited resources typical of Indonesia's semi-professional landscape. The club entered the professional era with the launch of Liga Indonesia in 1994, debuting in Division II during the 1994/95 season. That inaugural campaign marked a breakthrough, as Persikabo clinched the Division II title, securing promotion to Division I (the second tier) and establishing itself as a competitive force from Bogor.[8] Through the late 1990s and early 2000s, Persikabo oscillated between Division I and the Premier Division, achieving a notable promotion to the top-flight in 2001 but facing relegation after one season. Key matches, such as their Division II triumph, highlighted emerging talents like local forwards who contributed to defensive solidity and counter-attacks, though specific names from this era remain emblematic of the club's grassroots roots rather than star status. Financial instability plagued operations, with funding reliant on local sponsorships and regency support, leading to inconsistent squad depths and amateur training facilities amid broader challenges in Indonesia's developing league structure. Despite these hurdles, Persikabo cultivated a dedicated following in Bogor, laying the groundwork for future professional aspirations.[4]Mergers and rise to professional leagues
In 2015, amid the FIFA suspension of Indonesian football, PS TNI was established through a merger involving players from PSMS Medan and elements of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI), acquiring the Liga 1 license previously held by Persiram Raja Ampat to enable participation in professional competitions.[9][10] The club made its Liga 1 debut in the 2017 season, marking its entry into the top tier of Indonesian professional football after initial preparations during the suspension period.[11] The team operated as PS TNI until early 2018, when it was renamed PS TIRA to lessen its overt military ties and relocated its home base to Bantul, Yogyakarta.[12] In 2019, PS TIRA merged with the amateur Persikabo club from Bogor Regency (then competing in Liga 3), forming TIRA-Persikabo and shifting operations to the Pakansari Stadium in Cibinong, Bogor, which revitalized the club's local identity while retaining its Liga 1 status.[10] Ahead of the 2020 Liga 1 season, the club rebranded as Persikabo 1973 to pay homage to the original Persikabo's founding year of 1973, though it continued using the TIRA-Persikabo name commercially for that campaign.[12] Persikabo 1973 maintained its position in Liga 1 through the early 2020s, narrowly avoiding relegation in seasons like 2018 but facing growing financial pressures.[5] The 2023 season brought significant turmoil, including a sponsorship scandal with SBOTOP that prompted the withdrawal of key financial backers and led to ownership instability.[4] This contributed to a dismal performance, culminating in relegation from Liga 1 at the end of the 2023–24 season after a 5–2 defeat to Persik Kediri confirmed their drop with four matches remaining, ending a seven-year stint in the top flight.[5] In the 2024–25 Liga 2 season, Persikabo 1973 struggled further amid ongoing financial chaos, finishing at the bottom of the relegation round and suffering another demotion to Liga Nusantara, the third tier.[2] By mid-2025, the club faced near-collapse as owners disappeared, but it was revived under new management led by Irman Nurcahyan. Revival efforts, including participation in the regional Piala Gubernur Jawa Barat tournament under the name Persikabo Bogor—where they secured a 2–1 victory over Bogor Raya FC on October 28, 2025—enabled the club's stabilization and registration for Liga Nusantara 2025/26. On November 7, 2025, Persikabo 1973 was drawn into Group A alongside Persipa Pati, Nusantara FC, Batavia FC, Dejan FC, and PSDS Deli Serdang, marking a focus on rebuilding in the third tier.[4][1]Club Identity
Name, colours, and badge
The full name of the club is Persatuan Sepakbola Indonesia Kabupaten Bogor 1973. It is commonly referred to as Persikabo 1973 and nicknamed Kabo '73, a shortening derived from its location in Kabupaten Bogor and founding year. Another prominent nickname is Laskar Padjajaran, translating to "Army of Pajajaran," honoring the historic Sunda Kingdom centered in the Bogor region.[13][2][14] Persikabo 1973's primary colors are green and white, evoking the verdant landscapes and natural heritage of Bogor Regency. In its early years following the 1973 founding, kits emphasized green as the dominant hue. During the TIRA sponsorship period from 2019 to 2023, designs incorporated blue accents to align with the sponsor's identity, as seen in the 2020 home kit's green base with blue trim. The club's kits have evolved with sponsor influences and regional symbolism, such as the 2022-23 home kit in green and gray by Adhoc Apparel. For the 2024-25 season, Rodo Sport supplies the home kit, featuring a green primary with yellow highlights inspired by Bogor's flora.[15][16][17] The current badge, adopted in 2020 upon rebranding to Persikabo 1973, consists of a shield-shaped emblem displaying the founding year "1973" at the base, a stylized football, and motifs representing Bogor Regency such as Mount Salak's silhouette and regional floral elements. This design emphasizes the club's roots in the area while maintaining a modern, professional aesthetic. Prior iterations reflected the club's merger history; from 2015 to 2017 under the PS TNI name, the badge integrated Indonesian military insignia, including an eagle emblem symbolizing the army affiliation. Subsequent logos during the TIRA Persikabo phase (2019-2020) retained a similar shield but added sponsor branding. Kit suppliers have varied historically, starting with local manufacturers in the amateur era and progressing to international brands like Joma (2021-22) before recent partnerships with Indonesian firms such as Mar10 (2023-24) and Rodo Sport (2024-25 onward).[18][17][19][20]Stadium
The home stadium of Persikabo 1973 is Stadion Pakansari, located in Cibinong, Bogor Regency, West Java, Indonesia. This multi-purpose venue serves as the primary base for the club's matches and training activities, having been adopted as their main ground since the 2017 Liga 1 season following the merger and relocation efforts to strengthen local ties.[4] It has also hosted Indonesia national team fixtures, such as the 2016 AFF Suzuki Cup semifinal against Vietnam, and numerous Liga 1 encounters during the club's top-flight stints.[21] Construction of Stadion Pakansari began in January 2012 on a site previously featuring only a training pitch, with the facility officially inaugurated on December 3, 2016, during an Indonesia national team match against Vietnam (2-1 win).[21] Designed as an all-seater stadium with a capacity of 30,000, it was developed to support regional sports development in the Cibinong-Bogor area, encompassing 28 hectares that include a secondary training stadium, leisure spaces, and parking infrastructure.[21][22] The venue played a key role in international events, serving as a primary site for men's and women's football at the 2018 Asian Games.[23] Key facilities include a modern natural grass pitch—upgraded to Zoysia Japonica in 2023—along with floodlighting for evening matches, spacious player changing rooms, VIP stands, and press boxes to accommodate media and dignitaries.[22] The complex also features dedicated training grounds adjacent to the main bowl, supporting the club's daily operations and youth development programs. Ongoing renovations since 2023 have focused on enhancing drainage systems to mitigate weather-related disruptions and improving overall pitch quality for consistent playability.[22] Attendance at Persikabo 1973's home games varies by competition level and opponent significance, with averages in the 2024–25 Liga 2 season typically ranging from 500 to 2,000 spectators per match, as seen in fixtures like the 1–2 loss to Persikota Tangerang (946 attendees).) In higher-profile past encounters during Liga 1, crowds have swelled notably.[24] While full-capacity turnouts are rare for club games, the stadium has drawn near-sellout crowds for national team events, underscoring its role in broader football operations.[21]Fan Culture
Supporters
The supporters of Persikabo 1973 form a dedicated fan base centered in Bogor Regency, West Java, with key organized groups including Kabomania and Ultras Persikabo Curva Sud (UPCS). Kabomania serves as the primary supporter organization, fostering community loyalty since the club's rise in professional leagues, while UPCS, founded in 2013, represents the ultras sub-culture and occupies the south stand at Pakansari Stadium during matches.[4][25] Fan culture emphasizes passionate displays such as coordinated chants, tifos, and travel to away games, with UPCS renowned for its slogan "We Ultras Die Even If We Die," symbolizing unyielding commitment to the club. Following Persikabo 1973's entry into Liga 1 in 2022, supporter engagement initially surged, but attendance declined amid the club's instability from 2023 to 2025, averaging just 760 per home match in the 2023–24 season and drawing small crowds in lower-tier games by late 2025.[25][26][4] These groups have significantly impacted the club's survival, rallying vocal support during the 2025 revival under local ownership to prevent dissolution. As of November 2025, with the club in Group A of Liga Nusantara, fans continue to focus on rebuilding efforts. UPCS, in particular, exemplifies positive fanaticism through high loyalty and community-oriented expressions, contributing to an evolution of peaceful support that has largely avoided major sanctions or bans compared to some peers in Indonesian football.[4][25][1]Rivalries
Persikabo 1973's major rivalries arise from its location in the greater Jakarta metropolitan area and West Java region, fostering intense competitions with nearby clubs through shared histories in Indonesian professional leagues and frequent encounters in Liga 1. These derbies often highlight regional pride and have produced memorable matches marked by competitive balance or upsets. The most prominent rivalry is with Persija Jakarta, dubbed the Jakarta–Bogor derby due to the clubs' proximity across the Jakarta-Bogor border. This fixture has grown in significance since Persikabo's promotion to the top flight, with matches drawing large crowds and emphasizing local bragging rights. In 14 head-to-head encounters across various competitions, Persija holds a strong record with 9 wins, 1 for Persikabo, and 4 draws.[27]| Competition | Matches | Persija Wins | Draws | Persikabo Wins | Persija Goals | Persikabo Goals |

Current Team
Squad
The 2025–26 squad of Persikabo 1973 consists of 16 players, all Indonesian nationals, with an average age of 27.0, emphasizing a mix of experienced veterans and young talents ahead of their Liga Nusantara campaign.[33] In goal, the options are led by Junaidi, a 29-year-old keeper providing reliability.[33] The defensive line features experienced centre-back Abdul Rahman (37), alongside younger options like Brama Siwi (23) and Ridho Surya (25), with full-backs Basroh Alamsyah (25, left) and Syukran Arabia (22, right).[33] In midfield, central players include Nursyam (27) and Al Wino Zacqy (29), while attacking midfielders Abdur Rahman (27) and Dalmiansyah (28) support the forward line.[33] Up front, wingers such as Bagas Umar (24, left), Abdullatif Triansyah (22, right), Apriyanto Nurdin (22, right), and Delan Selang (25, right) provide width, with striker Acrom Muzzacky completing the attack.[33]Management and coaching staff
The management of Persikabo 1973 is overseen by PT Cilangkap TNI Jaya, with ties to the Indonesian National Armed Forces and the Bogor Regency government, providing support since the 2019 merger that elevated the club to professional leagues.[34] President Bimo Wirjasoekarta, who faced a two-year FIFA ban imposed in April 2023 for involvement in unauthorized football activities (ending in April 2025), continues in his role as of November 2025. The ban led to administrative adjustments, including interim leadership in 2024.[35][36] Manager Gilang Ginarsa oversees team operations.[37] The head coach position remains vacant as of November 2025, following the departure of Djadjang Nurdjaman on October 31, 2024, after relegation to Liga Nusantara.[38] The technical staff includes assistant coach Fahmi Amiruddin, appointed November 3, 2024, focusing on tactical development, and goalkeeping coach Nanang Hidayat (age 60), also appointed November 3, 2024, for specialist training.[39] Historical head coaches have shaped the club's professional era. Judan Ali guided the team (as PS TNI) in its 2016 Liga 2 entry and 2019 merger. Aidil Sharin Sahak coached from January to July 2023, introducing possession play amid challenges.[40] Djadjang Nurdjaman had multiple stints, including 2022–2023 and 2024, emphasizing defense but unable to avoid relegations. Aji Santoso led from late 2023 to early 2024, integrating youth.[41] These changes reflect post-2023 efforts to address financial and sponsorship issues for rebuilding in lower-tier competition.[42]Records and Achievements
Season-by-season statistics
Persikabo 1973's professional era commenced in 2017 following the establishment of PS TNI in 2016 and its direct entry into the top flight via license acquisition, marking the end of its amateur phase since the club's founding in 1973, during which it competed primarily in regional leagues without significant national prominence. The club's performances in Liga 1 were characterized by mid-to-lower table finishes over seven consecutive seasons, culminating in relegation in 2023/24 after securing just 20 points from 34 matches, with 44 goals scored and 74 conceded.[43] In Liga 2 for 2024/25, Persikabo struggled further, earning only 6 points from 22 matches (1 win, 3 draws, 18 losses) and scoring 20 goals while conceding 62, finishing at the bottom of the relegation round and dropping to the third tier. Cup runs have been modest, with a notable quarterfinal appearance in the 2022 Piala Indonesia.[44][45] The season-by-season statistics below highlight key league performances from the professional debut onward, focusing on position, points, and goal tallies to illustrate the club's trajectory of stability followed by decline.
