General remark on terminology:
In this introduction, the words "European" and "native" are
written between quotation marks throughout, for the following
reasons: while "European" refers to federations and clubs founded
and dominated by the European (mostly but not exclusively Dutch)
population, these clubs and federations were not closed to other
groups; "European" clubs fielded Chinese and "native" players and
"European" federations included Chinese and "native" clubs in their
leagues; on the other hand, while "native" clubs and federations
were restricted to people of Indonesian descent (inlandsch
in contemporary Dutch), many of the "European" players excluded by
these clubs and federations were actually born and raised in the
Dutch East Indies (indisch in contemporary Dutch) and thus
"native" in the literal sense (and often of mixed European and
Asian parentage).
General remark on league tables:
The first criterium for classification in league tables in the
Dutch East Indies was not number of points won, but the points
per match ratio; as clubs seldom had all played an equal number
of matches during the season, this leads to somewhat unusually
looking tables in which clubs may be ranked higher in spite of
having fewer points. (At the end of the season, when all clubs
had played their fixtures, the two criteria are of course
identical.) The second criterium was (as customary at the time)
goal average. In Batavia and a number of other cities (but
not in Soerabaja), teams having finished equal on points had to
play an extra match against each other for settling championship,
promotion or relegation issues.
The first mention of football in the archipelago originates from Medan. On 16 November 1887, the "Gymnastiek Vereeniging" was founded there, and apart from gymnastics, its members soon began to play cricket and football, later followed by tennis and athletics. As early as 1890, a team from Penang crossed the Straits to play a cricket match (in the morning, Penang won) and a football game (in the afternoon, drawn). However, after a few years activities ceased, partially because of the foundation of a cycling club (Deli Wielrijders Club) in 1893. Thereupon, little or no football was played in Medan until the foundation of the Sport Club Sumatra's Oostkust (better known as S.O.K. or simply Sportclub) on 1 June 1899.
Meanwhile, the first football clubs on Java were founded in the last few years of the nineteenth century. On 28 September 1893, the Bataviasche Cricket-Football club "Rood-Wit" was founded in the capital and obtained legal recognition (by official approval of its statutes) in May 1894. The club is known to have played cricket matches later that year against the Bataviasche Cricket Club (in existence sinde the 1880s) but it is unclear to what extent football was played, and in which form (rugby or soccer). In Soerabaja, the first club to be founded was Victoria, reportedly in 1894. The first known match between local clubs took place in July 1896 in Soerabaja (Victoria 6-1 Sparta).
First league-style competitions are reported for the first decade
of the twentieth century (Soerabaja 1902, Batavia 1904, Medan 1907),
and at the same time, local and regional football federations were
founded (and often dissolved soon after).
Already in those early years dissensions between clubs and officials
led to frequent schisms, a curse to burden "European" football in
the Dutch East Indies throughout the colonial era:
the B.V.B., the local city federation for the capital Batavia,
founded in 1906, fell apart in the spring of 1912 and was
succeeded by the W.J.V.B. (renamed V.B.O. in 1928), while the
O.J.V.B., founded in Soerabaja, the second
most important city of both Java and the territory, in 1907,
after at least one earlier organisation had been dissolved,
was replaced by the S.V.B. in 1909.
The 1910/11 Droogdokbeker, the Batavian league competition,
saw its start delayed by three months due to a conflict on the
participation of military players (a substantial factor in the
"European" football community on Java) after an army commander
had ruled soldiers of different ranks were not allowed to play
against each other, apparently due to a number of injuries to
army officers after football matches.
At the occasion of the Koloniale Tentoonstelling in Semarang
in 1914, a football tournament between representations of the four
major cities on Java (Batavia, Soerabaja, Bandoeng and Semarang)
was organised at the end of August.
Ben "Jos" Stom,
captain of the winning side, Batavia (or more precisely its city
federation, the W.J.V.B.), and the first player to hold the Dutch cap
record in sole possession, then offered (on behalf of the W.J.V.B.) to play
again for the trophy (the silver Koloniale-Tentoonstellings-Beker)
the following year in Batavia. In spite of the fact that the trophy
was stolen on that second occasion, the competition proved to be
a great success, and was held annually ever since, normally at the
Pentecost weekend (pinksteren).
After a few years, the sizable Chinese community on Java followed suit
and organised a similar event, played between the leading club sides
from the participating cities, which was usually held at the Easter
weekend (pasen). It was played for various trophies donated by
Chinese businessmen until a committee was formed in 1927 (the C.K.T.H.)
for its organisation; in 1930 the H.N.V.B., a federation for all Chinese
clubs on Java, succeeded the C.K.T.H.
A third version of the javaansche stedenwedstrijden
was established in 1930 after the P.S.S.I. was founded as island-wide
"native" football organisation. It should be noted that while the
events organised by the C.K.T.H./H.N.V.B. and P.S.S.I. were ethnically
exclusive, the original version (organised by the N.I.V.B. after 1919
and the N.I.V.U. after 1935) was not. Not only did the "European"
city federations enter selections involving players from all their
member clubs, including Chinese and "native" ones; also their
"European" member clubs did not refrain from lining up Chinese or
"native" players.
After about two decades of football in the Dutch East Indies, most major cities had functioning federations and leagues, and on April 20, 1919, the four most important football federations on Java (those of Batavia, Soerabaja, Bandoeng and Semarang) founded the N.I.V.B. (Nederlandsch-Indische Voetbal Bond). Its statutes were approved by governmental decree on October 20, 1919 and the N.I.V.B. was admitted provisionally to F.I.F.A. on April 15, 1924, before obtaining official affiliation to the world body on May 24, 1924. (The Dutch East Indies thus became the first Dutch colony to obtain separate F.I.F.A. membership, five years before Surinam and eight years before Curaçao.) One of its first actions was assuming responsibility for the organisation of the stedenwedstrijden, an activity which would eventually lead to its own liquidation.
Membership of the N.I.V.B. gradually increased, and by 1930, it had 7 member federations on Java (those of Batavia, Soerabaja, Bandoeng, Semarang, Malang, Djokjakarta and Soekaboemi); in addition 4 other federations had subscribed to it (a form of associate membership): those of Oost-Sumatra (based in Medan), Makasser (on Celebes), Bandjermasin (on Borneo) as well as the Hwa Nan Voetbal Bond (H.N.V.B., the Chinese federation based in Semarang, on which more below). See [FIF 31].
On May 16, 1932, an N.I.V.B. meeting at which a Soerabaja-based
notary, Willem van Buuren (a former president of both Vios (a
military club from Meester Cornelis) and the W.J.V.B. federation
in Batavia), succeeded Dick Veenman from Batavia as
president of the federation, decided to move the seat of the
N.I.V.B. to Soerabaja, which appears to have caused discontent
in Batavia (the two cities entertaining a rivalry not unlike that
of Amsterdam and Rotterdam in the Netherlands itself).
In 1933, the new board decided to reorganise the main football
event on Java, the stedenwedstrijden, in order to accommodate
the increasing number of participating city federations. The new
set-up required all city federations to enter a qualifying stage
played in regional mini-leagues before being able to participate
in the final, 4-team tournament. Batavia opposed the new set-up
and withdrew from the competition on December 10, 1933.
The V.B.O. was then suspended by the N.I.V.B. on an extraordinary
general meeting in Bandoeng on December 23, 1933, with only Buitenzorg
opposing the relevant motion and Soekaboemi abstaining (both towns
are close to Batavia and their football federations relied on matches
with the major clubs from the capital to generate income). In turn,
Batavia organised an alternative city tournament in which
Soekaboemi (which resigned from the N.I.V.B. on March 31, 1934) and
a rebel federation (B.V.U.) from Bandoeng entered.
Later in 1934, a number of smaller city federations followed, and on
December 9, 1934, a year after the
start of the conflict, the V.S.O. in Semarang. In January 1935, the
B.V.B., the official federation for Bandoeng resigned, as well as
Tiong Hoa, champions of Soerabaja, who were unhappy with the organisation
of the regional league (comprising clubs from Soerabaja, Malang, Blitar,
Pasoeroean and Probolinggo) established by the N.I.V.B. on Eastern Java
after the S.V.B. had halted the Soerabaja league due to a number of
conflicts (H.B.S. and Mena Moeria had temporarily left the Soerabaja city
federation). The Chinese H.N.V.B. left the N.I.V.B. at the occasion of
its general meeting at the Chinese stedenwedstrijden with
Easter 1935. By June 1935, the N.I.V.B. had only 5 member federations
left: Soerabaja, Malang, Djokjakarta, Solo and Tegal.
The federations on Western Java had meanwhile organised themselves
(provisionally in the W.J.V.F., the West Java Voetbal Federatie) and
managed to stage the Stedenwedstrijden in Batavia in 1935, with Soerabaja
represented by the S.V.U. (a shortlived rebel organisation whose team consisted
mostly of Tiong Hoa players). During this tournament, on June 9, 1935,
the N.I.V.U. (Nederlandsch-Indische Voetbal Unie) was founded by
the federations of Batavia, Soerabaja (S.V.U.), Bandoeng
(the B.V.B.O., formed on February 28, 1935 when B.V.B. and B.V.U.
joined forces, and renamed V.B.B.O. on December 15, 1935), Buitenzorg
and Soekaboemi (with the other relevant
city federations on Java joining immediately). Two weeks later,
the S.V.B. and S.V.U. joined forces (with the S.V.U. being dissolved
and all clubs joining the S.V.B. again).
Shortly after it had sent a representative side (roughly corresponding
to a Soerabaja city selection, enhanced with a handful of players from
Makasser and Malang) to the
1935 Philippines Football Championship,
an invitation earned after participating in the
1934 Far Eastern Games in
Manila, the N.I.V.B. was liquidated (at the end of July 1935) and
succeeded by the N.I.V.U. as the official football association on Java
(it was officially accepted as F.I.F.A. member in May 1936). Unlike
the N.I.V.B., the N.I.V.U. also included federations from
outside Java as full members, most importantly those of Makasser and
Medan (Oost Sumatra) but also including e.g. Padang (V.P.O.) on
Sumatra in 1936 (see [Col 00]).
Regarding the stedenwedstrijden, the major change made by
the N.I.V.U. was installing a system of promotion and relegation,
with only the bottom (fourth placed) finishers of each year required
to enter the qualifying tournament for the next year, and that at a
late stage, only playing the winners of the regional qualifying
leagues for West Java and Oost Java for the fourth and last spot
in the next final tournament.
While the N.I.V.B. and later the N.I.V.U. had their origins in the
"European" population of Java and concentrated their efforts on the
"European" federations, clubs and players, ethnically Chinese clubs
entered the "European" leagues in many cities as a matter of course,
winning championship titles in most of them: U.M.S. won the league of
Batavia in 1932/33, Tiong Hoa that of
Soerabaja on several occasions (in July 1939,
they even won the Java club championship
organised in Soerabaja) and C.S.C. that of
Oost-Sumatra in 1931/32, to name but the most
important leagues; Chinese clubs also won local league titles in e.g.
Buitenzorg, Cheribon, Djokjakarta, Malang, Semarang, Soekaboemi and Tegal,
and in fact the inland city of Bandoeng appears to be the only major
city where no Chinese club came to championship honours.
Following the immediate success of the "European"
stedenwedstrijden, a Chinese version was held since 1917,
organised by the Comité Kampioenswedstrijden Tiong Hoa (C.K.T.H.)
since 1927. It soon became a tradition that the final tournament of
the Chinese city matches was played at the Easter weekend while the
"European" one followed at Pentecost. In 1930, the C.K.T.H. was
reformed as the H.N.V.B. (see above), which joined the N.I.V.B. (as
associate member) soon after. The H.N.V.B. apparently never organised
any club leagues (its member clubs played in the "European" leagues),
though Chinese city federations are documented for both Palembang and
Soerabaja (the S.C.V.B., Soerabaiasche Chineesche Voetbal Bond,
founded 1924). The integration of Chinese football on Java within the
"European" structures is possibly best illustrated by the 1941 election
of Liem Hwie Giap as president of the N.I.V.U.
Local "native" leagues had been played since the beginning of the
century, often organised by a leading "European" club in the
relevant city (e.g. B.V.C. in Batavia and D.S.V. in Medan,
who also offered the use of their ground for the relevant
fixtures). Later, "native" clubs proceeded to enter the
"European" leagues; in Oost-Sumatra, the
"native" club M.S.V. made their debut in the "European" league
in 1923 and within a decade, the two "native" clubs M.S.V. and
I.V.C. had won the local league (O.S.V.B. Eerste Klasse)
on five occasions.
The team representing the medical school Stovia in Weltevreden
(a suburb of Batavia), targeted at "native" students, which
entered league competitions in Batavia as early as 1904 (first
playing as Dokters Djawa, later renamed Stovia) consisted of
"native" players as well. In 1910, two "native" clubs,
Daja Oepaja and Stovia, were among the nine member clubs of
the B.V.B., the then "European" football federation of Batavia.
Likewise, in Medan a league was first organised in 1907 and its
top level consisted of 3 clubs: "European" Voorwaarts, "native"
Maimoen S.C. and Chinese team C.S.C. (the second level contained
additional "European" and "native" teams).
It should also be noted that the so-called "European" clubs did
not bar other nationalities from playing for them, and the
N.I.V.B./N.I.V.U. (the only official F.I.F.A. member organisations
during the colonial era) allowed clubs from all nationalities
to enter the leagues organised by its local and regional member
federations. In Batavia, famous "native" players at "European"
clubs in the 1930s included Onong (S.V.B.B.) and Soemo (Hercules);
such players (as well as Chinese ones, and any players from "native"
or Chinese clubs participating in the relevant city leagues - the
famous Chinese forward Lee Wai-tong, then playing league football
at U.M.S., represented Batavia in 1933) were also eligible for the
city selections entering the stedenwedstrijden organised by
the N.I.V.B. (later N.I.V.U.).
However, there were isolated cases of "European" leagues closing
themselves to "native" clubs, such as the W.S.V.B. in Padang
(West Sumatra) on its resurrection in 1921, in that case without
any lasting success [Col 00].
In the twenties, "native" city federations were formed in the
major cities of Java: the V.V.B. in Solo in 1923 (soon followed
by the I.V.B. in the same city), the S.I.V.B. in Soerabaja in 1927,
the V.I.J. in Batavia in 1928, the P.S.M. in Djokjakarta,
and the B.I.V.B. and the N.V.B. in Bandoeng.
On April 19, 1930, seven of these "native" city federations
founded the P.S.S.I.: those of Jakarta (V.I.J. (Voetbalbond Indonesia
Jacatra), later Persija), Bandung (B.I.V.B. (Bandoengsche Indonesische
Voetbal Bond), later Persib), Yogyakarta (P.S.M. (Persatuan Sepakraga
Mataram), renamed P.S.I.M. (Persatuan Sepakbola Indonesia Mataram)
in July 1930), Madiun (M.V.B. (Madioensche Voetbal Bond), later
P.S.M.), Magelang (I.V.B.M. (Indonesische Voetbal Bond Magelang),
later P.P.S.M.), Surabaya (S.I.V.B. (Soerabajasche Indonesische
Voetbal Bond), later Persibaja) and Solo (V.V.B. (Vorstenlandsche
Voetbal Bond), later Persis). (Some on-line sources erroneously
include P.S.M. from Makassar (instead of Madiun) as one of the
original seven members; unlike the N.I.V.U., full membership of
the P.S.S.I. was restricted to Java during the thirties.)
Most of the P.S.S.I. member federations organised local club leagues. This is confirmed for the V.I.J. (Malay Club won its 1936/37 league title, Ster that of 1937/38), S.I.V.B./Persibaja (S.E.L.O. were champions 1934/35 (in 1937, they joined the "European" S.V.B.), Hizboel Wathon in 1939), the B.I.V.B. (the 1931/32 championship was won by R.A.N.), Persis (Indonesia Moeda were champions 1938, Mars 1939), Persim (organised a league competition in Malang 1939), the P.S.I.T. (in Cheribon; Zwarte Ster were its 1936/37 champions; this "native" club had been among the 5 founding members of the "European" V.C.O. in 1932 (which replaced an earlier "European" federation, the C.V.B., by then dissolved)) and Persibo (Sangkoeriang were champions 1938/39). In smaller towns, "native" federations entered the "European" leagues, occasionally winning the championship: in Blitar, the "native" federation, P.S.B.I., founded in 1928, won the "European" league on several occasions in the early thirties and in Kediri, P.S.H.W. won the 1939 league organised by the "European" K.V.U.
The P.S.S.I. itself appears to have concentrated on organising "native" stedenwedstrijden between its member federations. Even now, most of the teams playing in the nationwide Indonesian league structure essentially correspond to city federations, many dating back to the P.S.S.I. members in the colonial era, although some "proper" clubs (such as Arema, Pelita Jaya and Pupuk Kaltim, now Bontang FC) have remained from the 15-year (1979-1994) period in which a club-based semi-professional league (Galatama) was organised. A number of these city federations entering the national league as club-like entities, such as Persija in Jakarta and Persebaya in Surabaya, organise local club leagues just as the V.I.J. and S.I.V.B./Persibaja did in the 1930s.
Apart from clubs with "European", Chinese and "native" identities, there were also clubs catering to Arabs (e.g. J.A.V.V. in Batavia, Annasher in Soerabaja and Al Ittihad, multiple champions of the "European" competition in Solo) or Ambonese (e.g. S.V.J.A., Batavia league champions in 1936 and 1937, Mena Moeria in Soerabaja, Jong Ambon in Bandoeng and V.O.P. in Medan) exclusively, as well as clubs connected to the military (e.g. Velocitas in Tjimahi near Bandoeng and a number of clubs called Mars or Sparta). (Starting from 1918, the B.V.B. (Bandoeng) awarded a Wisselbeker for military teams from the four divisions (Batavia, Magelang, Soerabaja and Bandoeng) stationed on Java, in an apparent analogy to the stedenwedstrijden; the first three editions (1918 to 1920) were won by Batavia, Bandoeng and Soerabaja respectively.) Apart from the Ambonese diaspora (mostly caused by military commitments), also communities from the Minahassa (northern Celebes) and of the Bataks (from Sumatra) were present in various cities on Java and elsewhere and founded their own football clubs entering the "European" city federations.
Finally note that several cities, including at least Batavia, Soerabaja, Bandoeng, Malang and Medan, additionally had a "Kantoorvoetbalbond" which organised leagues between company clubs. These federations were occasionally accused of hidden professionalism by the official N.I.V.B. members (Dutch football was (officially) staunchly amateur until the mid-fifties).
In January 1937, the N.I.V.U. and the P.S.S.I. signed an agreement
in which they recognised each other as the two only top level football
organisations in the Dutch East Indies, allowed matches between member
clubs and federations of the two organisations, and promised to respect
each other's disciplinary decisions (in particular suspensions of clubs
or players).
However, new controversies arose regarding the 1938 World Cup, for
which the Dutch East Indies eventually qualified (without
playing a single qualifying match, after withdrawals by both
their intended opponents, Japan and the United States of America).
To choose a team, the N.I.V.U. (as F.I.F.A. members for the territory)
organised a series of selection matches all over Java between December 1937
and February 1938, without directly involving the P.S.S.I. (although
representatives from that organisation attended some of these matches).
The squad eventually chosen consisted entirely of players from N.I.V.U.
member federations (reasonably enough given results of matches between
representative teams from "European" and "native" city federations); the
team fielded against Hungary in Reims included four "European" players
(all born in the Dutch East Indies), three Javanese or Sundanese players,
including the team's captain, Achmad Nawir, two of Chinese and two of Moluccan
parentage. Not considering the last two "Indonesian", the P.S.S.I.
accused the N.I.V.U. of "highjacking" the World Cup participation by
minimising the number of "native" players and using the Dutch flag (it is
not known which flag the P.S.S.I. had suggested as an alternative), and
ended the collaboration with the N.I.V.U. in 1939.
Following the Japanese invasion in 1942, both the N.I.V.U. and P.S.S.I.
were disbanded and sporting activities reorganised under Japanese supervision
(apart from the "native" city matches in 1943, no notable football events
were organised during Japanese occupation).
After the war, the N.I.V.U. was resurrected and organised the 29th
edition of the stedenwedstrijden in spring 1947, six years after
the previous edition. Another edition followed in 1948 before the N.I.V.U.
was renamed V.U.V.S.I./I.S.N.I.S. (Voetbal Unie in de Verenigde Staten
van Indonesië/Ikatan Sepakraga Negara Indonesia Serikat) and organised
two more stedentournooien in 1949 and 1950. Following the
resurrection of the P.S.S.I. in 1950 (by the transformation of the football
department of the P.O.R.I. (Persatuan Olahraga Republik Indonesia), the
Sports Federation of the Republic of Indonesia established by the republican
government in 1947), member associations of the V.U.V.S.I./I.S.N.I.S. merged
with their local P.S.S.I. counterparts and V.U.V.S.I./I.S.N.I.S. disbanded
in 1951. One year later, the P.S.S.I. obtained F.I.F.A. membership.
If in the above paragraphs there appears to be undue stress on the integration of "native" (and Chinese) players in the "European" federations (undoubtedly, a feeling of superiority by "Europeans" with respect to "natives" (and Chinese) was wide-spread and often publicly expressed), this is partially because of such ludicrous claims on the internet as those made (as of June 2011) by Safari Sidakaton in PSSI Doelie dan Nasibnya kini..." (and its poor attempt at translation into English at The past and present fate: PSSI); we cite from the English version: "At that time the Indonesian people are not allowed to play football on a football pitch Netherlands, for being incompetent in playing football professionally. Even at each entrance of the Dutch football pitch there is always a big billboard that read "VERBODEN voor Indonesische EN HOND", which means "FORBIDDEN FOR PEOPLE OF INDONESIA AND DOG".". Both sentences are verifiably untrue (whether they are deliberate lies or due to glaring ignorance only their author can tell). Professional football was not accepted in the Netherlands until years after Indonesian independence and the billboards (which in correct Dutch should have read "Verboden voor inlanders en honden"; the use of "Indonesiërs" on such a sign would have been highly peculiar, quite apart from the incorrect grammar in the use of both "Indonesische" and "hond") are an invention, apparently based on the alleged existence of a corresponding sign "No natives or dogs allowed" at a club in the British Indies. "Natives" were allowed (indeed encouraged) to play in league competitions organised by "European" clubs such as B.V.C. (Batavia) and D.S.V. (Medan) already before the first World War, and "native" (and Chinese) clubs were fully integrated in the "European" city leagues long before the P.S.S.I. was founded (in 1930, and not 1932 as stated in the cited article, which contains one or more inaccuracies in almost every sentence). In addition, "native" attendance often outnumbered "European" attendance at league matches, even those featuring two "European" clubs.
Another nonsensical statement is made by Eko Nurhuda in his article
Rindu Pesepak Bola Tionghoa
from April 2011, where it is stated that the two strongest Chinese
clubs, U.M.S. in Batavia and Tiong Hoa in Soerabaja, joined the "native"
city federations, V.I.J. and S.I.V.B. respectively. In fact, both clubs
played in the leagues of the "European" federations V.B.O. and S.V.B.
(and with considerable success, in particular in the case of Tiong Hoa).
Only after the war, when the P.S.S.I. was reformed in 1950/51, these
Chinese clubs joined the "native" city federations (by then long renamed
Persija and Persibaja), just like the European clubs and city federations
did at the time.
The same article also implies that "Indonesia" were invited by F.I.F.A.
to enter the 1938 World Cup based on the strength of the P.S.S.I. as
evidenced by a 2-0 win over Nan Hwa in 1937, but that the opportunity
was "seized" by the N.I.V.U. Quite apart from the fact that the
match in question
finished a 2-2 draw, and that at the time "native" representative sides
(whether from the P.S.S.I. or the city federations) consistently lost
friendly matches against "European" city federations, often heavily,
there can be no question of an invitation by F.I.F.A. to the P.S.S.I.
in 1937, quite simply because the N.I.V.U. were full members of F.I.F.A.,
a status the P.S.S.I. did not obtain until 1952. To all intents and
purposes, the order of footballing strength of the three federations
on Java remained unchanged until the start of World War II: first the
N.I.V.B./N.I.V.U., then the Chinese H.N.V.B., and third the P.S.S.I.
On three occasions a tournament was organised between the club champions of the major cities on Java; the first two times in Soerabaja at the occasion of a jubilee of the S.V.B., with the champions of Bandoeng, Batavia, Semarang and Soerabaja entering, the last time in Batavia with the champions of Bandoeng, Batavia and Soerabaja. A tournament planned for 1935 was cancelled.

On 28 September 1893, the Bataviasche
Cricket-Football club "Rood-Wit" was founded in the capital
and obtained legal recognition (by official approval of its
statutes) in May 1894. The club is known to have played cricket
matches later that year against the Bataviasche Cricket Club (in
existence sinde the 1880s) but it is unclear to what extent football
was played, and in which form (rugby or soccer).
A number of other clubs were founded later in the nineties, such as N.V.
(Nimmer Vermoeid), but by the turn of the century reportedly only
one club existed in both Batavia (Trappers) and Meester Cornelis (S.S.S.).
In the first three years of the new century a host of new clubs were
founded, including the later local heavyweights B.V.C., Oliveo, Hercules
and Vios (the latter from Meester Cornelis). Together with Dokters Djawa
(later Stovia), these four clubs entered the first ever league competition
held in Batavia, organised by the newspaper Het nieuws van
den dag voor Nederlandsch-Indië in 1904. It was succeeded by
the Droogdokbeker, held since 1904/05 and from 1907 complemented
by the Visserbeker which served as a second class feeder.
The Aguilarschild was a cup competition open to first class clubs.
Initially, the B.V.B. (Bataviaasche Voetbal Bond), founded on 20
July 1906, organised competitions, but it fell apart in
March 1912 when four clubs (A.S.V.G., Oliveo, S.C.F. and Vios)
left and founded the W.J.V.B. (West Java Voetbal Bond), which was
joined by Velocitas and Voorwaarts in April 1912. After Hercules
also joined the W.J.V.B. in 1913, the new federation had won the
dispute and B.V.C. followed at the end of the year. In 1923, a separate
federation for Meester Cornelis (Meestersche Voetbal Bond) was
founded, as part of the W.J.V.B., for local clubs too weak to enter
the third class of the W.J.V.B. competitions. In August 1928, the
W.J.V.B. was renamed V.B.O. (Voetbalbond Batavia en Omstreken).
Since (at least) the 1920 season, when U.M.S. played in the vierde
klasse, Chinese clubs entered the league; "native" clubs were part
of the league structure since at least 1926, when B.V.V. played in
the derde klasse (ignoring the participation of Dokters Djawa/Stovia
in the leagues between 1904 and 1912).

NB: the site http://www.jakarta.go.id/jakv1/encyclopedia/detail/3461
claimed (as of June 2011) championships for U.M.S. in the V.B.O.
for the seasons 1930, 1932, 1933, 1934, 1937, 1938, and 1949;
however, U.M.S. only won the league once before World War II, in
the 1932/33 season (in both 1933/34 and 1936/37 U.M.S. finished
last and had to play off against relegation). Most of the years
mentioned apparently refer to titles won by reserve sides (e.g. in
1930 U.M.S. II won the Tweede Klasse and in 1932 U.M.S. IV and
U.M.S. V won their respective sections of the Vierde Klasse).
The same site also astonishingly claimed the V.B.O. changed name
to Persija in 1951 but that of course should refer to the V.I.J.
(the V.B.O. joined V.I.J./Persija).

Victoria, the first reported football club of Soerabaja, was founded in
September 1894 (according to other sources: 1895) by a pupil of the local
H.B.S. (Hoogere Burger School), John Edgar; in 1896, a second club, Sparta,
was founded and those two clubs played the first football match in Soerabaja
in July 1896 (Victoria winning 6-1). Soon other clubs followed (among others,
S.I.O.D., Rapiditas and E.C.A., with only the latter lasting more than a few
years and indeed dominating local football, along with T.H.O.R., for about
a decade) and in February 1897 a first local football federation was founded.
This apparently did not survive long as clubs discussed
the foundation of the O.J.V.B. (Oost Java Voetbal Bond) in 1902; if it ever came
into existence it did not last long either as the Algemeene Nederlandsch Indische
Voetbalbond is reported to exist in 1904 and in early 1907, another O.J.V.B. is
founded. This latter federation is dissolved after a number of conflicts in 1909
and succeeded by the S.V.B. (Soerabajasche Voetbal Bond), founded in July 1909,
the first local organisation to last more than a handful of years.
Meanwhile, a first round robin league (seriewedstrijden) was organised
in 1902, with T.H.O.R. defeating E.C.A. (who were considered 'champions' of Soerabaja
in 1900, apparently by virtue of remaining undefeated in the regular 'friendly'
matches organised locally) 1-0 in the final.
As early as 1908 a Chinese club, S.C.R.C. (Sourabaya Chinese Recreation Club) entered the O.J.V.B. Tweede Klasse, but the first Chinese club to play at the top level in Soerabaja was Tiong Hoa, who joined the S.V.B. in the 1918 season and were promoted as champions of the Tweede Klasse in 1921; at the end of the thirties, Gie Hoo followed them; both clubs provided players for the 1938 World Cup squad of the Dutch East Indies. Ambonese club Mena Moeria were admitted to the Eerste Klasse in 1930, and Selo, champions of the "native" federation S.I.V.B. in 1934/35, were admitted to the Eerste Klasse (by then the second level) in 1937 (P.S.H.W., as Hizboel Wathon champions of Persibaja 1939, followed them in 1941). As currently only sparse information on Soerabaja football before the early twenties is available, it is not known whether "native" clubs entered the S.V.B. competitions before.

The first known club from Bandoeng is B.V.C. (Bandoengsche Voetbal Club),
which was founded in 1900. Soon after, Sidolig (1902) and U.N.I. (1903)
followed. B.V.C. received their namesakes from Batavia around Easter 1904,
losing 0-4 in (reportedly) the first ever venture by a Batavia club side
out of town (as early as 1898, E.C.A. from Soerabaja and Go Ahead from Malang
paid visits to each other, and S.V.V. from Semarang were hosted by Vitesse
in Soerabaja in May 1899).
Little is known about league competitions prior to the foundation of
the B.V.B. (Bandoengsche Voetbal Bond) in 1914. In 1906 a vaandel
was offered by the company Hagelsteens, which was played for on two
occasions; it was rediscovered in 1918 and won outright by the winners
of the (second) 1918 league competition. In 1909 a round robin
competition was organised for the Coorde-medaille which included a
team of "native" railwayworkers, S.S. (inlandsch).
In 1934, a rebel
organisation, the B.V.U. (Bandoengsche Voetbal Unie) was formed, in
parallel with the conflict within the N.I.V.B. (of which the B.V.U. never
was a member); the B.V.B. and B.V.U. resolved their conflict in February 1935,
after which the V.B.B.O. (Voetbal Bond Bandoeng en Omstreken) was formed.
In 1918, "native" club Osvia entered the tweede klasse (in 1921, they
first appear at the top level), while Chinese side Y.M.C. made their maiden
appearance in the derde klasse in 1921.

The first club in Semarang appears to have been Go Ahead, which was founded on July 30, 1898. It was to dominate local football for decades, along with S.V.V., founded one year later, and M.O.T., founded in 1904. In August 1907 a first federation was founded, the S.V.B. (Semarangsche Voetbal Bond), which held a first competition in the same year. However, this federation was apparently dissolved soon afterwards, and on 2 Feb 1912 a new S.V.B. (Semarang Voetbal Bond) was formed, which by 1917 had changed name to V.S.O. (Voetbalbond Semarang en Omstreken). In a number of seasons, the league included clubs from Pekalongan; the Chinese club from there, T.H.H., won the league on three occasions, while T.H.O.R. from Pekalongan lost the 1930 championship final to Go Ahead; the strongest Chinese club in Semarang, Union, which first entered the top level league in 1916, were Semarang champions once.

The first mention of football in the archipelago originates from Medan. On 16 November 1887, the "Gymnastiek Vereeniging" was founded there, and apart from gymnastics, its members soon began to play cricket and football, later followed by tennis and athletics. As early as 1890, a team from Penang crossed the Straits to play a cricket match (in the morning, Penang won) and a football game (in the afternoon, drawn). Another visit is reported for February 1893, with the Penang visitors winning two football matches 7-0 and 4-2, before footballing activities within the Gymnastiek Vereeniging ceased, partially because of the foundation of the "Deli Wielrijders Club" (a cycling club) in 1893. Thereupon, little football was played in Medan until the foundation of the Sport Club Sumatra's Oostkust (better known as S.O.K. or simply Sportclub) on 1 June 1899.
One of S.O.K.'s early members was W.J.H. "Pim" Mulier, a Dutch football pioneer, who was appointed editor of the newspaper Deli Courant in 1899 and lived in Medan until 1905. In January 1900, the club was granted the use of the Esplanade in Medan; the first match took place on February 1st, 1900, when the Sportclub, with Mulier as centre forward, defeated a Langkat English XI 2-0 in Medan after having lost a cricket match earlier that day. Frequent encounters between teams from Medan (usually represented by S.O.K.) and Bindjey (usually represented by Langkat S.C.) followed that first match. On October 6, 1901, S.O.K. hosted a visiting team from Penang, losing 1-4, and in February 1904, a Deli side first visited Penang, losing 2-3 and 1-5 (Penang having been reinforced by a few Perak and Singapore players in the second match).
In 1902, two "native" teams (Zetters Club (also known as Letterzetters)
in Medan and Toengkoe V.C. in Bindjey) were formed; these played each
other as well as the "European" clubs in friendly matches. In 1905,
a Chinese club (Tiong Hoa) followed and several other clubs (including
Voorwaarts) were formed a year later.
A first federation, the D.V.B. (Delische Voetbal Bond) was founded
on 16 July 1907 and organised the first regular league with a
three-team Eerste Klasse consisting of Voorwaarts
("European"), Maimoen S.C. ("native") and Chinese S.C. In addition,
a Tweede Klasse involving seven teams was held. The
D.V.B. organised local football until the end of the 1915 season,
in which the championship included clubs from outside Medan and
its immediate surroundings for the first time.
In December 1915, the O.S.V.B. (Oost Sumatra Voetbal Bond) was
founded; it was also based in Medan but extended competition
to other parts of the Oostkust van Sumatra, most notably
Simeloengoen (with main towns (Pematang) Siantar and Tebing Tinggi)
and Asahan (with main towns Tandjong Balei and Kisaran). In some
seasons, a playoff between the champions of the different regional
leagues was organised; in other seasons only the league in Medan
(and surroundings) was played and its winners considered overall
champions.

However, similar competitions were organised in other parts of the Dutch East Indies occasionally (e.g. the O.S.V.B. Stedenwedstrijden for the Gouverneur van Suchtelenbeker).
N.I.V.B./N.I.V.U./V.U.V.S.I. | C.K.T.H./H.N.V.B. (Chinese) | P.S.S.I. ("native")
First held in 1914 at the occasion of the Koloniale
Tentoonstelling in Semarang, with winners Batavia
earning the silver Koloniale-Tentoonstellings-Beker.
On the initiative of Batavia captain Stom, the trophy was played
for again in the next year, with Batavia hosting the tournament.
Batavia won the tournament again, but the cup was stolen in the
night after the final. A new trophy was donated by a Soerabaja
football fan, Monod de Froideville, first played for in 1916 in
Soerabaja. The hosts won and repeated their win in 1917 in Semarang
(original hosts Bandoeng having requested a postponement of their
hosting right by one year). Thanks to their second win in succession,
Soerabaja won the Monod-Beker to keep. Bandoeng sportsman
Ernst de Vries then donated a trophy for the 1918 edition in the
mountain city, the De Vries-Beker, which was to be kept
outright by the first city to win the tournament five times in
total or three times in succession, with Batavia fulfilling the
latter condition in 1920. At later editions, no cup trophy was
at stake anymore, the winning team obtaining a Gouden Kampioens-Medaille
(golden championship medal) as well as eleven medals for the players.
Starting with the 1920 edition, the organisation was taken over by the
N.I.V.B. (later N.I.V.U.), formed in 1919. After the first two editions,
both held in the summer, the final tournament normally took place
in the Pentecost weekend (pinksteren). Exceptions to that
rule were the tournaments of 1919 (held in the Easter weekend)
and 1938 (when the tournament was moved to the end of August due
to the World Cup participation of the Dutch East Indies).
Starting from the 1936 (1935/36) edition, the top-3 finishers of the
previous edition qualified automatically for the final tournament in
the following season, whereas the bottom team had to play off for the
final spot against the two winners of the qualifying competition for
West and East Java. Also, starting from the 1936 edition the

(Voetbal Unie in de Verenigde Staten van Indonesië/Ikatan Sepakraga Negara Indonesia Serikat) in 1948. Under that name, the competitions in 1949 and 1950 were played.

(Persatuan Olahraga Republik Indonesia), the Sports Federation of the Republic of Indonesia established by the republican government in 1947), member associations of the V.U.V.S.I./I.S.N.I.S. merged with their local P.S.S.I. counterparts and V.U.V.S.I./I.S.N.I.S. disbanded in 1951.
Note that the Chinese city tournaments usually involved the leading Chinese clubs from the respective cities, in particular Tiong Hoa (now Suryanaga) from Soerabaja and U.M.S. from Batavia. The final tournament normally took place in the Easter weekend. The first edition was held in 1917; it was played for various trophies offered by private sponsors until the C.K.T.H. (Comité Kampioenswedstrijden Tiong Hoa) was founded in 1927 to organise the matches; it was succeeded by the H.N.V.B. in 1930.

the V.B.O. was then suspended by the N.I.V.B. on an extraordinary
general meeting in Bandoeng on December 23, 1933. Batavia then
organised an alternative tournament in which Soekaboemi (which
had meanwhile resigned from the N.I.V.B.) and a rebel federation
(B.V.U.) from Bandoeng entered. Eventually, in the summer of 1935
the N.I.V.B. was liquidated and succeeded by the N.I.V.U. as the
official football association on Java.

the N.I.V.B. in the beginning of 1935 (following Batavia, Soekaboemi, Garoet, Madioen
and Semarang) and no final tournament was organised, the N.I.V.B. only consisting of
Soerabaja, Malang, Blitar, Djokjakarta, Solo and Tegal in spring 1935 (Blitar left
during the spring). The V.B.O. then invited the federations of Bandoeng and Semarang
as well as Soerabaja club side Tiong Hoa, who had left the S.V.B., to participate in
a tournament in Batavia between the traditional four cities. On May 12, the S.V.U.
(Soerabaiasche Voetbal Unie) was founded in Soerabaja to organise a team for the final
tournament and join the N.I.V.U. to be founded there. In the match on May 4, Soerabaja
was represented by Tiong Hoa, by far the strongest club among the founding members of
the S.V.U.

in June 1934 in Solo; that is also where the 5th P.S.S.I. congress
was held, but [PSS 80] lists the venue of the tournament as
Bandung, apparently erroneously (the tournament and the congress
were normally held at the same place).

not the corresponding city football federations.
Qualifying Tournament
NB: organised by P.O.R.I.
Jawa Barat
Persidja (Djakarta) awarded the championship after Persib (Bandung) refused to play off,
claiming there was no need for a playoff as they had defeated Persidja in a match in 1949.
Jawa Tengah
Champions: P.S.I.S. (Semarang) (after winning triangular tournament with Persis (Solo)
and P.S.I.M. (Yogyakarta) at the end of July and/or beginning
of August)
Jawa Timur
[date?]
Persibaja 3-0 Persema (Malang)
Champions: Persibaja (Surabaya)
Final Tournament
NB: tournament in Semarang; organised by P.S.S.I. (following reformation of P.O.R.I.);
the P.S.S.I. (Persatuan Sepakbola Seluruh Indonesia) was officially (re)formed on
2 Sep 1950 under the stipulation that the organisation was not a continuation of
the pre-war P.S.S.I. but coincidentally shared its name.
Original schedule (as announced on Aug 30)
[Sep 2]
P.S.I.S. - Persidja
[Sep 3]
Persibaja - Persidja
[Sep 4]
P.S.I.S. - Persibaja
However, Persib showed up with a team insisting they were Jawa Barat champions and the
P.S.S.I. decided to change the set-up to knock-out (apparently scheduling Persib to
play Persibaja on the final day even before the match on Sep 3 was played).
