History
On 17 September 2010, 20 Indonesian football clubs together with the National Football Indonesian Reform Movement (GRSNI) issued a declaration in Jenggala Graha, Jakarta. It was led by Arifin Panigoro, a local businessman. The declaration essentially related to the concerns of the conditions of national football clubs over the collapsing condition of the national football.
The Professional football clubs then took a joint initiative to establish and declare Liga Primer Indonesia[7] (LPI) in Semarang on 24 October 2010. There are 17 professional football clubs who expressed their will to participate.
The spirit of the club in building Liga Primer Indonesia is also a commitment to improve the standard of football, both organizationally and financially. The league view that the system of capital assistance and revenue sharing system in Liga Primer Indonesia can make the "club financially independent and professional in management."
To achieve independence, Liga Primer Indonesia provides assistance consortium in forms of the initial capital for each participating club. With this assistance, the clubs are expected to run without funds from dependence on fund local Government Budget (APBD). The initial capital will vary between clubs according to the audit results that have been held.
Additionally, the LPI embrace the principle of division of revenues in a transparent and accountable to the club participants. According to agreement with the club, LPI revenue sharing will be based on two schemes, namely schemes to league revenues (e.g.: sponsor the league, broadcasting rights, etc.) and schemes for income matches (e.g.: local sponsorship, broadcasting rights, tickets, etc.).
The inaugural 2011 season started on 8 January 2011. Before, LPI hosted a pre-season competition[8] in Bogor, Solo and Semarang.
On 11 April 2011, the FIFA Normalisation Committee charged with running Indonesian football has officially recognized Liga Primer Indonesia. The continuation of Liga Primer Indonesia will be decided after the Indonesia FA has been formed.[9] By this decision, the competition and all players involved are officially recognized by PSSI as well as FIFA and eligible to play in the national team.
