History

The club was founded in 1976 as Persijatim Jakarta Timur with home base in East Jakarta.[3] Due to a financial crisis, the club was sold and moved to Solo, Central Java in 2002, changed their club name to Persijatim Solo FC. In 2004, South Sumatra Government bought the debt-ridden Persijatim as they wanted to manage a Palembang-based football team to compete in the top tier of Indonesian football system since the province did not have any football clubs competing in the top tier of Indonesian football league, after the dissolution of Krama Yudha Tiga Berlian in 1992. The government also did not want the Gelora Sriwijaya Stadium to go wasted after the 2004 National Games. The club then changed its name to Sriwijaya FC and moved its home base to Palembang, South Sumatra.[4][5] The name Sriwijaya is thought to come from the ancient Srivijaya Empire, an empire that used to rule the land in the old days. The club is owned by PT Sriwijaya Optimis Mandiri.[6]

It is the first team to have done a double in Indonesia by winning both 2007–08 Liga Indonesia Premier Division and 2008 Piala Indonesia in the same season.[7][8] This double winner achievement was also its first titles since the foundation of the club. The following years saw Sriwijaya again winning the Piala Indonesia in 2009 and 2010, setting up a record as the first team to have won the Piala Indonesia three years in a row. Sriwijaya also managed to win the 2011–12 Indonesia Super League, as well as the 2010 and 2012 Indonesian Inter Island Cup.[9]

Relegation to Indonesian Liga 2 in 2018

The team failed to build on their success after winning the 2011–12 Indonesia Super League and the club was relegated (six years later after the triumph) to the Indonesian second division, Liga 2 in 2018. This happened after they finished second from bottom in the 2018 season Liga 1.[10][11][12]
